Description of work:
The camp is based at Alviðra, which offers a range of activities to connect people with nature, such as community gardens, wildlife workshops, school programs, and hikes. As part of the camp, volunteers help maintain the center through tasks like gardening, renovating the house and other projects such as removing old fences to protect wildlife, marking walking paths, and potentially do forestry work like trimming or planting trees.
This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun. No previous experience is needed. Volunteers should be prepared to share environmental issues from their home countries and be ready to spend time outdoors. Volunteers should be ready to adapt and be flexible with the work and free-time schedule. Depending on the weather, we may not be able to perform some of the activities as planned.

The place is registered as natural Icelandic heritage; the nature, vegetation and birdlife is rich in variety and quantity. The volunteers can enjoy outdoor activities in a peaceful and beautiful location with a small stream and a pond nearby. Hiking trails with maps about cultural heritage can be found throughout the area, which is a popular attraction among both foreign and local visitors.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
SEEDS’ programme combines learning, sharing and hands-on activities. On top of that you get to know Iceland and its culture while having fun, exploring the city, its attractions and stunning nature, which you can experience in possible excursions. Participants should prepare to share environmental issues from their countries and be ready to spend time outdoors walking medium distances (up to 1,5 hours) during activities and sightseeing.

Description of work:
Note this project is a learning/sharing camp and not a standard workcamp. This project has a smaller volunteer work part and puts a bigger emphasis on the personal learning process than on the community impact.
During this camp, participants can share their passion for (and learn more about) global & local environmental issues, as well as photography. If you are interested in topics such as climate change, waste management and sustainability, and you also love taking photos, then this project is for you! While developing artistic and technical photography skills, you will be focusing on environmental and sustainability issues through non-formal activities such as workshops, discussions, presentations and visits facilitated by SEEDS. One of our aims is to help create more environmentally aware consumers & travellers!
You will visit local projects on environment and conservation. These may include hands-on activities or guided visits, such as outdoor cleanup tasks, a local fauna and/or flora exhibition or an Icelandic culture museum. Some of these activities are dependent on weather conditions, as on the availability of our partners. You will also have time to put the theory about photography into practice while exploring the city. At the end of the camp, the best photographs from each participant are selected for an online exhibition on SEEDS' social media. Participants should bring their own digital cameras, lenses, tripods and laptops if possible.

Description of location and leisure:

A day trip to the Hot River area, combined with a cleanup or work with an environmental project in the area, is included for the participants in this camp. Some excursions (e.g. to the Golden Circle and/or South Shore) can be arranged at discount fares if there is free time after the camp workshops/sessions.
It may be very cold and/or rainy, so we recommend bringing warm and waterproof clothes (underlayers, overcoats, scarves, gloves and hats) and good walking shoes, as some of the activities take place outdoors.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The Emmaus Community of Villafranca is part of the global Emmaus Movement, which aims to combat poverty and social exclusion through the principles of work, sharing, and mutual aid. The Emmaus Community of Villafranca di Verona was founded in 1985, following a work camp organised in Villafranca in which young Italians and Europeans took part. Due to the success of the camp, the Municipality made available a former school. From the beginning, a group of friends was formed around the community, with whom Emmaus organised (and still organises) moments of deepening on the themes of solidarity, peace, non-violence... The role of this group of friends has been fundamental in the life of the Community and in making Emmaus known and appreciated in Villafranca. And if today so many people understand and support our community, it is thanks to the work and presence of these friends. The main objective of Emmaus is the reception of people in need, carrying out activities such as the collection, reuse and recycling of used materials with display at the Solidarity Flea Market. Zero Mileage Garden: organic vegetable growing. Care and maintenance of the community s green spaces. Spending the day (activities and free time) with the people hosted on the site.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The "City Children" association based in Novi Sad acts as a local, informal, non-profit association focused on working with children and young people through educational, sports and socially beneficial activities. Through its programmes, the association encourages an active lifestyle, volunteerism, informal learning and participation of young people in the development of the local community. A special emphasis is placed on inclusion, teamwork and the acquisition of practical knowledge through experience.
Since the founder of the association was born in Čačak and knows firsthand the difficulties faced by children from rural and smaller urban areas, our mission is to provide them with a space where they can grow, learn and develop their teamwork skills and physical abilities. This is precisely why the "City Children" association chose to organize its first volunteer camp in the village of Brezovice, close to Čačak, in order to provide children from urban areas with a refuge in nature and to breathe new life into a school that has had no students for a long time. In addition, the association is very committed to ecology and the development of agriculture, and volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in the work of nearby farms in order to properly experience life in the countryside and better connect with the local community.
The international volunteer camp is organized by a team of young people with significant experience in working with children and youth, and although this is their first volunteer camp, their commitment to this idea makes this camp the right choice for any volunteer who appreciates good energy and enthusiasm.

Description of work:
During the camp, volunteers will be involved in various activities of arranging and maintaining the area of ​​the "Pčelice" (Little bees) children's camp, as well as the rural household in its immediate surrounding, which is functionally and substantively connected to the camp and represents an important part of everyday life in the camp. The work will be combined, so that the volunteers will alternate between activities in the camp and at the rural household every day.
Planned activities include painting indoor and outdoor spaces (interior and exterior of the house on the property), painting auxiliary buildings, making and painting children's obstacles and props, as well as making large panels (posters) for drawing and creative work within the school space. Horticultural and basic agricultural works are also planned: planting roses, removing invasive plants, mowing and maintaining the grounds, arranging the forest path, creating and installing botanical signboards along the path, as well as creating ecological elements such as bird and squirrel houses and hotels for insects that contribute to biodiversity. Work with children will not be in focus, but at least one day of children's visit to the camp is planned. Volunteers will work about 5-6 hours a day, mostly in the morning or early afternoon. During the stay, a joint trip to Čačak with a tour of the sights will be organized.
Volunteers will be supported by the "Pčelice" camp staff, camp organizers, members of the village household who will be present throughout the camp, as well as local coordinators. Activities are designed as teamwork in a pleasant, supportive and motivating atmosphere.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
Open Houses is a non-profit network that has organised international volunteer workcamps and building projects at historic sites in Germany since the mid-1980s. Its work is rooted in the idea of opening historic places as spaces for common responsibility, intercultural exchange, and non-commercial encounter.

The organisation supports the revitalisation and long-term care of historic buildings and cultural landscapes through volunteer engagement, focusing on everyday maintenance, small-scale renovation, and community-based use of heritage sites. Rather than acting as a sole operator, Open Houses works as an initiator and facilitator, cooperating with site owners, local actors, and partner organisations.

At Lohra Castle, Open Houses coordinates volunteer-based site care and ensures that the castle remains a living place for cultural activities, educational initiatives, and international exchange. The organisation provides overall project coordination, accommodation, work supervision, and group support throughout the workcamp.

Description of work:
Volunteers will take part in seasonal maintenance and site care activities that support the everyday functioning and long-term preservation of Lohra Castle and its surrounding grounds. The work focuses on keeping the historic ensemble and its open spaces accessible, safe, and well maintained.

Tasks include mowing and collecting overgrown grass, clearing organic material from paths and public areas, maintaining open spaces around the castle buildings, and assisting with the cleaning and upkeep of communal halls and shared facilities.

Although the project does not involve technical heritage conservation, the work plays an essential role in sustainable heritage management. Through their contribution, volunteers support the continued use of the castle for cultural, educational, and community activities, whose income is reinvested into conservation and restoration programmes.

Burg Lohra

Description of location and leisure:
Lohra Castle is located in northern Thuringia, close to the Harz low mountain range, in a rural area characterised by forests, hills, and protected natural landscapes. The castle has medieval origins dating back to the 11th century and developed over several centuries from a fortified complex into a mixed residential and agricultural ensemble. Notable features include a Romanesque double-floored chapel from the 12th century, traces of medieval fortifications and towers, a Renaissance-era manor house, and later farm buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries. After decades of abandonment, the site has been gradually revitalised since the 1990s and today functions as a place for cultural activities, education, and volunteer-based site care.

The next small towns are Bleicherode (approx. 6 km) and Nordhausen (approx. 20 km). The castle stands slightly above the surrounding villages and is reached via a forest road and walking paths.

The workcamp takes place in a quiet, countryside setting. Volunteers should not expect urban leisure infrastructure, but rather a nature-oriented environment and simple village surroundings. In their free time, participants can go for walks or hikes in the protected natural area, relax at the castle, or organise informal group activities such as games, music evenings, campfires, or shared cooking.

Depending on the group’s interests, short excursions to nearby towns or cultural sites can be organised together during the stay.

Meeting Point and Time: The meeting point is the bus stop Großlohra – Friedrichslohra / Wartehalle.

If you arrive by train, travel to Gebra / Hainleite railway station. From the station, walk a few metres in the direction of the village to the nearby bus stop and take bus 29 in the direction of Nordhausen. Get off at Friedrichslohra / Wartehalle.

If you miss the bus, it is possible to walk from Gebra / Hainleite towards the castle area (approx. 1 hour). The route includes a steep uphill section, therefore light and easy-to-carry luggage is strongly recommended.

Detailed arrival information and exact arrival times will be sent to selected volunteers in advance.

Showers and toilets are available, with limited hot water. The overall living conditions are basic, reflecting the historic character of the site.

A fully equipped communal kitchen is located in a separate historic building near the accommodation. Meals are prepared collectively as part of community life, and each participant will be involved in cooking during the stay. Volunteers are encouraged to bring recipes from their home countries to share food traditions with the group.

Volunteers should be motivated to take part in physically active outdoor work and be prepared for simple living conditions in a rural environment. Flexibility, a cooperative attitude, and willingness to participate in everyday community tasks (such as cooking and cleaning) are essential.

The work takes place in all weather conditions, including rain and cooler days. Participants should bring appropriate clothing and sturdy work shoes.

The project is suitable for volunteers who are interested in heritage, nature, and community life, and who are open to intercultural exchange. Previous experience is not required.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The camp is organized by Lunaria in collaboration with Giovani Insieme. The association is composed of young people for young people founded in October 1998 in Carignano with the aim of protecting, promoting and enhancing artistic, historical and architectural heritage, nature and the environment, by proposing summer work camps for young volunteers from all over Europe.

Description of work:
Volunteers will work with children aged 6 to 13 (Italian-speaking) at the village summer camp from Monday to Friday. The camp will focus on the theme of peace in different countries, culminating in a presentation for the final show. The local volunteer team will provide translation support for the international volunteers, but flexibility is encouraged. To enrich the experience of cultural exchange, volunteers are invited to discuss topics such as peace and conflict in the history of their countries and to teach the children typical songs or dances from their own traditions.
Once a week, the volunteers will visit a retirement home to present their countries and share their cultures. An alternative activity will take place in a protected area, where volunteers will help cut bamboo to safeguard endemic vegetation.
Additionally, some families from Carignano will host volunteers for home dinners, offering a chance to experience local culture and daily life firsthand.

Description of location and leisure:
The town of Carignano, with a population of around 9,000, is situated in the countryside on the left bank of the Po River, approximately 20 km from Turin, within the River Regional Park. Its historic centre reflects a typical Piedmontese style, featuring a medieval core with archways and a baroque cathedral. The surrounding area is rich in both architectural and natural attractions.
In their free time, volunteers can enjoy a variety of activities, such as exploring Carignano’s open market or taking part in local events. On weekends, the group will have the opportunity to visit Turin, including highlights such as the Egyptian Museum, the Cinema Museum, the MAO Museum of Oriental Art, and the city’s beautiful Savoyard centre.
Please note that the costs of free-time activities are not covered by the project.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
SEEDS volunteers will support the Reykjavík Municipality in the main outdoor skiing recreational areas of the capital region, at Bláfjöll (Blue Mountains). The main tasks focus on maintenance and preparation of the area for the summer and the next ski season.

Description of work:
This includes maintaining slopes and trails by raking and scraping, general cleaning of the mountain areas, and collecting trash, debris, and natural waste.
The municipality and several sports associations run lodges and mountain huts there and they may also need some renovation jobs, such as painting and/or cleaning. In addition, volunteers may assist with the maintenance of a local Bike Park and surrounding outdoor areas, including cleaning slopes and green areas, mowing grass, repairing and improving walking and biking paths.
The work is hands-on, physically demanding, and carried out outdoors, often on uneven terrain. Volunteers should be motivated to work in raw and isolated mountain landscapes and be prepared for changing Icelandic weather. No previous experience is required; instructions and tools are provided. Flexibility, good physical condition, and a positive team spirit are essential, as tasks and schedules may change due to weather.
Volunteers will gain practical experience in outdoor and environmental maintenance, contribute to community recreational areas, work in an international team, and spend time in nature while supporting local projects.
A typical working day starts in the morning after breakfast. Work usually lasts 7–8 hours per day, including breaks. Lunch is taken together, either outdoors or at the accommodation. After work and during weekends, volunteers have free time to relax, explore the area, for social activities, cultural exchange, games, or group time.
The camp takes place around the summer solstice, when the sun barely sets and nights are almost as bright as the days. Volunteers will have the opportunity to experience the midnight sun, making it unique and memorable.

Description of location and leisure:
The skiing areas of Bláfjöll are about 40 minutes drive from the city. The location is remote and isolated, even though it is still close to the city. The Blue Mountain range is situated near the ring road and stretches from the capital area to the south-western lowlands, the highest mountain reaching 600 m.
The area has great slopes for downhill skiing and snowboarding as well as tracks for cross-country skiing. The areas are excellent for recreation, not only for alpine and cross country skiing, but for other outdoor activities as well such as hiking and mountain biking. Nature lovers are certain to find something to their liking, but it is important to be careful crossing the rugged lava fields because of the numerous caves underneath.
