Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
SEEDS volunteers will have the opportunity to work on the historical island of Viðey for the 20th year in a row with our host, the city of Reykjavík. Viðey is a popular destination during the summer among Icelandic and foreign visitors. Volunteers will help prepare the island for the summer season. Volunteers will beautify the surroundings by cleaning up the area, especially along the coastline, for instance by hand-picking garbage or collecting trash blown by the wind or brought by the sea to the shores and surroundings.
The camp takes place around the summer solstice, when the sun hardly sets and the nights are almost as bright as the days. The bright nights are magical and staying awake and enjoying the beautiful surroundings is a unique experience. During the time of the camp participants will have the opportunity to experience the midnight sun as there are 24 hours of light even if the sun does set for short periods of time.
Description of work:
SEEDS volunteers may carry out some gardening activities as well and possibly make and maintain walking paths. Well maintained paths enable people to visit the island without damaging it and this important work also helps to improve safety for visitors. Depending on the advance of the project and weather conditions, volunteers may have other possible tasks such as checking up and repairing garden furniture.
The working day normally runs from 09:00 - 17:00 with breaks for lunch and coffee; however, please be prepared for some flexibility due to the nature of Iceland's changeable weather, as we may not be able to perform some of the tasks or activities planned. The temperature in May can drop during the evenings. Volunteers should have motivation to work outside and work in all kinds of weather, as it can get cold and rainy. The working plan is flexible and it will depend on the needs of our host. No previous experience is necessary.
Description of location and leisure:
Viðey or “Wood Island” is the largest (1.7 km²) island in the Kollafjörður Bay, just outside Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland. The island is covered by many species of plants and at least 30 species of breeding birds have been counted here. Viðey was inhabited soon after the settlement of Iceland in the 10th century. In the beginning of the 20th century, around 100 people lived there. Today the island is uninhabited.
There is a regular ferry connection between the island and the harbour of Reykjavík. The island is only a few hundred metres away from the city and the trip takes a few minutes. This makes Viðey so special; it is a peaceful place, very close to the busy city life of the capital. There are hiking and cycling paths around the island and there is no motor traffic allowed. It also features intriguing sculptural artwork, amongst them all nine pairs of basalt pillars that comprise Richard Serra’s work “Áfangar” and Yoko Ono’s “Imagine Peace” column, a tower of light, which is supported by the widow of John Lennon. Other places of interest on Viðey are related to archaeological research.

Description of work:
Pour la dixième année consécutive, nous organisons un chantier de bénévoles autour de l'organisation du festival. Les volontaires seront immergé·es au sein des équipes bénévoles locales et participeront à l'accueil des tous les participant.es, principalement des enfants, et au bon déroulement du festival. Festival itinérant, la première partie se déroulera à Issoire du 25 au 30 mai et et la seconde partie à la Bourboule du 31 mai au 08 juin 2026. Ce projet se veut plus intimiste que les autres, avec un plus petit groupe de volontaires pour permettre une vraie dynamique de partage avec les autres bénévoles du festival.
Avant le festival : participe à l'installation du festival aux côtés d'autres bénévoles et découvres les coulisses de l'organisation d'un tel événement. Pendant le festival : contribue activement au succès du festival en assurant l'accueil du public, la gestion des entrées, la distribution de flyers, l'orientation des spectateurs, et en apportant un soutien logistique ponctuel. Après le festival : participe au rangement et au bilan de cette édition. Tu seras toujours accompagné·e par des bénévoles qui te guideront et te transmettront leur savoir-faire. Profite de ton temps libre pour explorer les villes d'Issoire et de la Bourboule, leurs paysages naturels, et leurs alentours. Si tu es curieu·x·se de découvrir un festival de cinéma jeune public ancré dans son territoire, n'hésite plus, rejoins l'aventure Plein la Bobine !

For the tenth consecutive year, we are organising a volunteer work camp to support the festival’s organization. Volunteers will be immersed within the local volunteer teams and will take part in welcoming all participants — mainly children — and ensuring the smooth running of the festival. As a traveling festival, the first part will take place in Issoire from 25th to 30th May, and the second part in La Bourboule from 31st May to 8th June. This project is designed with a small group of volunteers in order to foster a genuine spirit of sharing and connection with the festival’s volunteer teams.
Before the festival: join in setting up the festival alongside other volunteers and discover the behind-the-scenes of organising such an event. During the festival: contribute actively to the festival's success by helping with public reception, managing entries, distributing flyers, guiding spectators, and providing occasional logistical support. After the festival: take part in the clean-up and evaluation of this edition. You will always be accompanied by French-speaking volunteers who will guide you and share their expertise. Take advantage of your free time to explore the cities of Issoire and La Bourboule, their natural landscapes, and the surrounding area! Some basic French skills are a plus, but not essential. If you're curious to discover a children's film festival rooted in its local community, don't hesitate—join the Plein la Bobine adventure!
