Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
SEEDS’ programme combines learning, sharing and hands-on activities. Alongside the workshops, participants will discover Reykjavík, learn about Icelandic culture and enjoy the city's unique surroundings through organised activities and optional excursions. Participants should be prepared to present environmental issues from their own countries and to spend time outdoors, including walks of up to 1.5 hours during activities and sightseeing.
Note this project is a learning/sharing camp and not a standard workcamp. This project has a smaller volunteer work part and places a greater emphasis on the personal learning process than on the community impact.

Description of work:
During this camp, participants will explore global and local environmental issues while developing their photography skills. If you are interested in climate change, sustainability and waste management, and enjoy photography, 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 consumers and travellers better understand the environmental impact of their choices. You will visit local environmental and conservation projects, which may include hands-on activities or guided visits, such as outdoor cleanup tasks, nature exhibitions or Icelandic museums. 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. Through practical exercises and workshops, participants will improve both the artistic and technical aspects of photography, including composition, storytelling and photographing nature and urban environments.
Photography will be used not only as a creative skill, but also as a way to raise awareness of environmental issues and encourage participants to reflect on the relationship between people and nature.
At the end of the camp, participants will select their favourite photographs for an online exhibition at SEEDS’ social media channels. Participants should bring their digital cameras, lenses, tripods and laptops if possible.
SEEDS will organise a night photography workshop combined with an aurora hunting excursion in the city. Northern lights are a natural phenomenon depending on solar activity and meteorological conditions, so we cannot guarantee you will see northern lights, but the night photography workshop will be organised anyway.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
GNIST Festival is a music and art festival created by and for young people, located outside the big cities. It’s a two-day celebration filled with live music, art exhibitions, community dance, techno yoga, talks, short films, and much more. We celebrate youth spirit, creativity, culture, and all kinds of art and music.

Description of work:
PHASE ONE: PREPARATION
During this phase, the festival starts to take shape. We build everything from the ground up — starting with tents and practical setups, and finishing with the small final details.

Every year we come up with new ideas and plans, and we decorate the entire area. This includes building graffiti walls, painting signs, and placing creative elements around the festival site.

There will, of course, be plenty of time at the beginning to get to know each other. We really value it if participants want to contribute with creative ideas and help us shape the festival.

PHASE TWO: THE FESTIVAL
This is the most fun phase! This is when we open the festival we’ve created together over the past few days.

During this time, you can relax, hang out with the other volunteers and guests, listen to music, and enjoy the festival atmosphere.

PHASE THREE: CLEANING
This phase starts Sunday morning, when guests begin heading home. We pack everything down, and it usually goes quite fast, so we finish on Sunday. Volunteers can leave either Sunday or Monday morning.

FREETIME
Since the camp is short, there are no full days off. As we get closer to the festival, there will be more to do.

From Tuesday to Thursday, working hours are approximately 10:00 in the morning until 8:00 in the evening. On Friday and Saturday, there will be more free time, as more volunteers join. This gives you the chance to meet Danish people and experience the festival.

Fyrvej 2, 4660 Store Heddinge, Denmark

Description of location and leisure:
The festival area is close to the sea and located in the countryside. It is an old military missile launcher site, now empty except for two garages that we use.

The event takes place in the middle of May, so it’s a good idea to bring warm fleeces and cozy clothes, as we will be outside most of the day.

Meeting Point and Time: Meeting Point and Time:
Store Heddinge St.
May 11th between 12:00-16:00.

Arrival at Copenhagen Airport
To reach the meeting point on time, your flight should arrive no later than 13:00 on the first day of the camp.

From the airport, take a train to Copenhagen Central Station. From there, take a train to Køge Station, where you can catch a local train to Store Heddinge Station. This is where we will pick you up.

The total travel time from the airport to the meeting point is approximately 2 hours, and the cost is around €20. Please let us know if anything changes so we can help you.

Further details on travel arrangements and purchasing train or bus tickets will be provided in your info sheet after acceptance.

If you cannot make it to the meeting point on time, consider arriving one day early and booking a hostel.

Sleeping Facilities
The festival has a sleeping area where both guests and volunteers will stay in tents during the festival days. We will also sleep there in the days leading up to the festival.

We can provide tents, so you only need to bring a sleeping bag and an air mattress or something similar. Let us know if you are missing anything — we might be able to lend it to you.

Kitchen + Bathroom Facilities
A trailer bathroom will be available when you arrive.

Each day, one hot meal will be prepared by our local chef, Jens. The other meals will be simple toasts or sandwiches that we make ourselves.

Description of work:
As a volunteer at the Aalborg City Cup, you will play an essential role in making one of Northern Europe’s largest youth football tournaments a success. Each year, around 300 teams and 8,000–10,000 visitors come from across Europe to participate in and watch the games. To ensure the event runs smoothly, volunteers will help in various areas, including event setup, food service, information support, and venue maintenance. Your tasks will change throughout the day, keeping things dynamic and engaging! On the first day, you’ll sit down with the host to create a work plan and choose the assignments that interest you most—so be sure to read about the different tasks in advance. That way, you can hit the ground running and make the most of your experience!

Event Area Setup
Before the tournament starts, volunteers will help prepare the event area. This includes marking and setting up the 21 football fields, arranging seating areas, and making sure that everything is in place for the opening of the tournament. Volunteers may also assist with setting up banners, signs, and equipment needed for the matches and fan areas. You can also assist in one of the many food trucks on the grounds. This task is ideal for those who enjoy working outdoors and don’t mind some physical work.
Work hours: 10:00 – 18:00

Food Hall Assistance
With thousands of players, coaches, and visitors attending, the food hall is a crucial part of the tournament. Volunteers will help serve breakfast and dinner to the participants, ensuring meals are distributed smoothly. This role involves organizing food trays, keeping the dining area clean, and assisting guests who have dietary restrictions or special requests. It’s a great opportunity to meet people from different countries while contributing to the overall hospitality of the event.
Work hours: 06:00 – 22:30, which is divided between breakfast serving from 06:00-10:30 and dinner serving from 16:00-20:00

Information Center Support
The information center is the heart of the event’s organization, where teams and guests can come for assistance. Volunteers will be responsible for checking in teams upon arrival, handing out tournament schedules, answering general questions, and helping lost guests find their way around. This role requires good communication skills and a friendly attitude, as volunteers will interact with international visitors and ensure they have a great experience at the tournament.
Work hours:
17:00 – 22:00 (on Wednesday)
09:00-22:00 (on Thursday, Friday and Saturday).

Cleaning & Maintenance
To keep the event area welcoming for players and visitors, volunteers will help with regular cleaning and waste management throughout the tournament. This includes collecting trash, ensuring restrooms and common areas are clean, and keeping the playing fields tidy. This task is crucial in maintaining a professional and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone attending the Aalborg City Cup.

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.
The nearest airport: BER
The nearest terminal (train-, bus-, taxi station): Nearest train station: Gebra / Hainleite (approx. 5 km)
Nearest bus stop: Großlohra – Friedrichslohra / Wartehalle (approx. 1 km)

Further rail connections are available via Nordhausen (approx. 20 km).

Description of accommodation and food:
Volunteers will be accommodated in small historic service buildings within the castle complex, in shared rooms with simple but adequate facilities. Rooms are arranged for 2–5 people. 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.

Accommodation and food during the project are provided by the hosting organisation. Any participation fees charged by sending organisations are not transferred to the host and remain with the sending organisation.

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:
Volunteers will be engaged in projects aimed at preserving and restoring the natural environment of one of the most important wetlands in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the San Rossore estate, part of the MSRM Regional Park. Get ready to ride the bike!
Project summary
Volunteers will be engaged in projects aimed at preserving and restoring the natural environment of one of the most important wetlands in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the San Rossore estate, part of the MSRM Regional Park.
PARTNER:Legambiente Pisa is an association that has been fighting since 1995 for a healthier relationship between people and the environment, to convey the importance of conscious choices, for social equity through the lens of scientific environmentalism. The activities are possible thanks to the commitment of the volunteers who organize together local and national awareness campaigns, training activities inside and outside the schools, collaborations with public and private bodies aimed at the ecological transition.

Description of work:
The volunteers will use simple tools such as shears, axes and saws to remove invasive vegetation, record data to compare the present situation and check the effectiveness of the action. At the request of the Park, interventions will be possible for easy maintenance operations in areas of naturalistic interest further inland. Restoration of the paths in the naturalistic areas of the estate and biomonitoring activities within the Park will also be carried out. All movements will be made by bicycles, which the volunteers will also maintain, with the help of the local bicycle workshop.
Study part
Volunteers will participate in workshops about the local environment and its features, held by the technicians of the Park. They will learn about the Sea turtle "Caretta Caretta", whose traces they will also look for, and about the several species of plants and trees of the territory. They will also learn how to fix their own bike.

Pisa

Description of location and leisure:
The San Rossore estate, in the MSRM regional park, after having been used as a hunting lodge for monarchs and presidents, has since 1989 been the central nucleus of a large coastal park that is a real gem in terms of both fauna and plant species, including several relicts and endemic species, which have found an environment here in which to survive and develop. The estate is within cycling distance of the cities of Pisa, and Lucca, two centres that need no description- from the camp it is also easy to reach other centres of interest, such as Livorno, Calci, Massaciuccoli and the Apuan Alps.

Meeting Point and Time: Appointment for the start of the workcamp is scheduled for the day 15/06 in Pisa, at the railway station Pisa Centrale at 15.
