Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
This workcamp is organized in cooperation with KEYDER (Kayseri Education and Youth Association), the founder of Little Prince Academy in Cappadocia. KEYDER works with children and adults with special needs and their families, creating inclusive spaces where individuals can develop social, practical, and life skills in a supportive environment.
The center combines special education practices with nature-based activities such as gardening, lavender cultivation, and animal care. Volunteers become part of this daily life, contributing to both the social and practical aspects of the center.
This camp was successfully organized in 2024 and continues to build on that experience.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The General Directorate of Youth (www.xuventude.xunta.es) is a department of the Xunta de Galicia (www.xunta.gal) whose priority is to meet the needs and concerns of the young population living in Galicia, firmly believing that youth has much to contribute to society as a whole.

We work to improve the quality of life of young people in our autonomous community, developing actions and programs that benefit them, increase their well-being and allow them to improve their skill.

Description of work:
The work will be environmental and will consist of maintenance work on the island, fire surveillance, information work and visitor awareness, and specific interventions to improve the park in collaboration with the environmental service workers. Cleaning of the South Island (the only island not communicated by passenger boat). (This activity depends on the park, it cannot be carried out in all shifts).

National Park "Illas Cíes" (Vigo, Pontevedra)

Description of location and leisure:
This work camp is located on the Illas Cíes, specifically on the Island of Monteagudo (north) at the mouth of the Ría de Vigo, in the municipality of Vigo (Pontevedra).

The Cíes Islands form part, together with the Cortegada, Sálvora and Ons archipelagos, of the Galician Atlantic Islands Maritime-Terrestrial National Park.

The ecological value of its marine environment is incalculable since within its waters some of the most representative examples of Atlantic marine ecosystems are preserved, which treasure great biological wealth.

The marine environment of the Park is a great mosaic of different habitats that support an extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna. There are important communities such as brown algae forests (Saccorhiza polyschides and Laminaria spp.), or those associated with seabeds such as those of Mäerl, and we also find habitats defined as of community or priority interest within the Habitats Directive of the European Union, such as reefs, lagoons or shallow sandbanks permanently covered with seawater.

The terrestrial environment is strongly influenced by the proximity of the ocean, highlighting the dune systems, the cliffs and the gorse or heather thickets.

Also in the emerged part of the islands we find habitats considered to be of community interest or priority by the directives, such as the gray dunes, the aerohaline coastal scrub or the southern Atlantic humid heather scrub.

The main problem for conservation in this environment has been human pressure. Especially in the Cíes Islands, eucalyptus, pine or acacia plantations have displaced the native vegetation in several areas. The eradication of these native species is a very long-term process that is already being worked on and the results of which will be seen gradually.

Actions are currently being carried out to develop adequate management of public use, waste from the islands, navigation and anchoring of boats, fishing, shellfishing, etc.

Sport fishing and underwater fishing are prohibited within the limits of the National Park.

COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES:
• Sport activities.
• Diving.
• Group dynamics.
• Guided routes.
• Workshops.
• Theme evenings.
• Environmental activities.

Meeting Point and Time: Meeting point: Throughout the first day, after 4:00 p.m. in the Illas Cíes work camp, at the information point on the island's jetty.

The bus line that connects the airports of Peinador (Vigo) and Lavacolla (Santiago de Compostela) with their bus and train stations are www.vitrasa.es and www.tussa.org respectively.

The General Directorate of Youth of the Community of Madrid is the public body responsible for the design, management, and coordination of youth policies in the region.
It develops programs, resources, and services aimed at youth participation, non-formal education, international mobility, and the social inclusion of young people.

Description of work:
Main tasks of the volunteer camp:
Your volunteering experience will be structured around three main areas:
• Setting up the Protected Succulent Plant Corner: land study, soil preparation, space design, installation of the small openable greenhouse, and creation of plant identification signage.
• Design and creation of butterfly oases: planning spaces that encourage the presence of pollinating insects and participating in workshops about their ecological importance and our environmental responsibility.
• Participation in a program of activities, games, and group dynamics aimed at reflecting on how we inhabit the planet, promoting coexistence between cultures and species, and exploring sustainable alternatives through Agroart, creativity, and collective creation.
Join our camp if you feel that…
Do you love nature and want to truly take care of it?
If you’re eager to learn by doing, work as part of a team, and take part in a collective project that leaves a positive impact, this camp is for you.
You will take part in the creation of a Protected Succulent Plant Corner, where we will work together to set up a small openable greenhouse — from studying the land and soil needs to designing the space and creating plant signage.
You will also participate in the design and creation of butterfly oases, learning about the importance of insects in ecosystems and reflecting on how our actions influence the health of the planet.
If you enjoy debating, creating, and exploring alternative ways of inhabiting the world through Agroart, creativity, and play, here you will find an enriching and transformative experience.
Why take part in our camp?
Because it is an opportunity to experience active, participatory volunteering with real impact. You will not only help improve spaces that support biodiversity, but also become part of a collective reflection process about our relationship with nature.
Through a “learning by doing” approach, we will combine practical work with spaces for dialogue about environmental footprint, coexistence between cultures and species, and the solutions that different civilizations have developed over time to live in balance with their environment.
It is an experience that brings together nature, critical thinking, creativity, and community living — where everyone contributes and learns through action.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
This workcamp is organized in cooperation with Emendere Köyü Muhtarlığı, the local village administration of Emendere, a rural village in Sındırgı district of Balıkesir.
Following the recent earthquake damage in the region, parts of the village infrastructure have been affected. The aim of the volunteering is to encourage the village community to improve common areas and revive shared public spaces. The main goal of this project is to restore and renovate the old village school building and bring it back into use for community-based courses and activities for local residents.
Through this collaboration, volunteers will directly contribute to strengthening rural community life and supporting local solidarity.

Description of work:
This camp combines light construction, renovation, and community improvement work. Volunteers should be motivated for practical outdoor tasks and ready to work in a rural environment.
Main tasks include:
-Renovation of the old village school building:
-Sanding and restoring school desks
-Cleaning classrooms and indoor areas
-Painting walls
-Preparing the space for future public courses and community use
-Village improvement activities:
-Cleaning common areas within the village
-Removing rubble, stones, and debris from roadsides
-Supporting basic road improvement (arranging stones, leveling small sections where needed)
-Clearing weeds and maintaining public pathways
The aim is not heavy construction work but visible improvement and beautification of shared spaces.
Working hours will be approximately 5–6 hours per day. Tasks may vary depending on daily needs and weather conditions. Volunteers should bring suitable work clothes and be prepared for outdoor physical activity.

-Spend time in the village and interact with local residents
-Explore the natural surroundings
-Visit thermal pools in Sındırgı (at their own expense)
The camp offers a meaningful rural experience, close contact with local people, and the opportunity to leave a visible, long-term impact on a small community.

Meeting Point and Time: Volunteers are expected to arrive independently in Sındırgı (approximately 1 hour by bus from Balıkesir Bus Terminal).
Meeting Point: Sındırgı Bus Terminal.
Volunteers will be picked up there by local representatives and transferred to the village.
