Medellín, 'the city of eternal spring', capital of the Antioquia department, has a pleasant climate of around 24°C; it offers modern transport systems like Metro and Metro Cable. Located in a valley surrounded by mountains, this city is always friendly to visitors.

From the mountains that surround the capital of Antioquia you can see how the Medellín River runs parallel to the Metro, which connects various parts of the city. There is an abundance of parks, libraries, museums and public spaces where many cultural events take place. There is a flower festival and in the surrounding villages life is simple with relaxing landscapes and nature reserves.

Places such as the Botanical Garden, the Pies Descalzos park, the Berrío park and the Lleras park are places that you cannot miss.

This natural park is a natural reserve that has two lines of volunteering, the first is focused on conservation and its activities are aimed at caring for and protecting the environment, and the second aims at education with children, an alternative school and learning community in the heart of the reserve. As a volunteer you can work in the line that you like the most, having the possibility of working in both lines if you wish. The activities carried out in volunteering are the following:

1. Accompany and assist investigations carried out in the reserve
2. Maintenance of different spots, such as the small lake “laguna”, forest nursery, organic gardens, trails and infrastructure
3. Environmental education
4. Waste and compost management
5. Support in reforestation-restoration work (planting days)
6. Accompany the local, learning community´s activities (accompany walks with the children, starting new projects, accompany learning processes, play...)

8. Suggest, develop and carry out new initiatives and projects
9. Other activities according to the skills and abilities of the volunteer and according to the needs of the natural park and community living there

Working with the children in the park requires a high level of commitment and empathy. We are not looking for teachers, we are looking for people who understand that children are responsible for their learning process, and who want to accompany them in their explorations and self-directed learning.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The volunteer house is located in the heart of a nature park. It has 2 shared rooms with beds available for 4 people individually and one double bed for a couple. There is also a bathroom, an equipped kitchen, a small living room, terrace and washing machine. The house is not always fully occupied. It may happen that you are the only volunteer, depending on the time of year.

Each volunteer who stays for at least two months is assigned a monthly budget to buy food according to his/her diet; the amount is enough to buy basic food in the local market. The volunteers are responsible for cooking their own meals, this is a perfect space to share recipes and carry out a culinary cultural exchange. Vegetarian food is available.

The water heater depends on the availability of gas. On some occasions, hot showers might not be available, but in general there is hot water available. The volunteers’ house has limited Wi-Fi (because there is only satellite internet in this remote area). It may only be used for basic needs, such as communication (some calls, messages, mails) and information (research, press), but not for large downloads, videos, streaming (music or movies), video calls, etc.

Lage und Freizeit

This natural park is located in the middle of a cloudy forest in the mountains, therefore it can be cold and rainy, depending on the season of the year. Given its location, the reserve is close to Bogotá (40 min approx.), there you will find many places to enjoy the Colombian culture.
In case you do not want to leave the reserve, we have some activities that you can do in your free time such as:
1. Night walks for wildlife watching (weekends)
2. Trekking inside and outside the park (e.g. visiting other village on trails)
3. Extreme sport and wellness activities: zip line, arborism, tree climbing, music therapy (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
4. Horseback riding (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Every year, VPV cooperates with V.GO (Vietnam Global Outreach organize different international workcamp as well as send International volunteers to support sustainable living, promote eco-tourism and preserve ethnic cultures of Vietnam in Thai Hai Village.

Thai Hai Village is a living cultural heritage site dedicated to preserving the traditions of the Tày ethnic community and sustaining strong community-based values.
Recognised internationally, Thai Hai became the first destination in Viet Nam to receive the award “Best Tourism Village” from UN Tourism in 2022. It is also among the first tourism destinations in the country to be awarded national 5-star OCOP certification. These honours reflect the village’s long-term commitment to cultural authenticity, community well-being, and responsible tourism, while safeguarding Tày cultural identity and nurturing a humane, sustainable way of life.
Once a barren hillside with no houses or trees, Thai Hai has gradually been restored into a vibrant cultural village covering more than 20 hectares. Today, over 30 traditional Tày stilt houses — many nearly a century old — have been carefully rebuilt to form a unified cultural space where heritage, nature, and community life come together. Not only the house structures but also the spirit, soul, and vitality of Tày cultural values are preserved and passed down from generation to generation.
Now, more than 150 members across three generations live together as one extended family, united by the shared principle: “One meal we share, one purse we bear.” This strong sense of community ensures that cultural values are not preserved as static displays, but practiced and sustained through everyday life.
Day after day, villagers cultivate crops, raise livestock, and grow fruits and green tea to support their daily lives and to serve visitors. In the evenings, they gather around the fireplace, singing “Then” songs accompanied by the đàn tính, flute, and the traditional dance, creating a peaceful and cosy atmosphere.
When coming to Thai Hai, you can immerse yourself in authentic and profound cultural experiences and become a part of Thai Hai family.

You will work on consolidating the stone masonry walls of the ruins of the Clausonne Abbey apse. After learning how to make lime mortar, you will work on repointing the stone masonry. A local craftswoman will guide you in making and using the mortar, as well as the placement and size of the stones. Each day, two group members will take turns preparing the team's meals; the menu will be defined in advance. You will work on the site during the mornings from Monday to Friday. Generally, the work involves masonry, preparing tools and meals, as well as organizing and setting up collective life.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be accommodated in a campsite, in individual tents. A kitchen, dry toilets, and showers will be at your disposal. We will welcome you to Ferme du Faï, a former mountain farm located at an altitude of 1,000 meters. The site lives today thanks to a team of employees working on building renovation, international volunteers, artists and musicians in residency, hikers, and curious visitors. Here, we pay attention to our diet to reduce our environmental impact: we eat local as much as possible and reduce our meat consumption to twice a week. Daily life is organized collectively: planning menus (vegetarian, vegan, etc.), grocery shopping, activities, etc. We organize trips for groceries once or twice a week using the vehicles available on site. Roll up your sleeves and join us on the workcamp and in our collective living space!

Lage und Freizeit

The Clausonne site is a 20-minute walk from the Ferme du Faï. Le Faï is located 2 km from the village of Le Saix and 13 km from the town of Veynes. There is no Wi-Fi and the connection is weak, but you will meet people from all over the world!

Leisure activities: The site is located below the summit of Aujour mountain, which might make you want to go hiking during your free time. Indeed, this place in the heart of nature is ideal for enjoying mountain walks. Discover this area with the group of international volunteers you will meet there; it will enrich your experience. Here, you will be the protagonists of your stay: you will play an important role in organizing your time with the support of the leadership team.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

In a small valley in the heart of a sublime alpine landscape lie the remains of an ancient abbey dating from the 12th century. For 30 years, a local association has been committed to preserving and promoting the site, while contributing to the life of Clausonne and the writing of its current history. This project is just one of many initiatives involving international and local volunteers, people in professional reintegration, and other professionals over the years. Last summer, the construction of a wooden hiker's shelter to welcome visitors was completed. This year, preservation work on the abbey building is planned.

This camp allows volunteers to learn about global and local environmental issues through non-formal activities such as workshops, discussions, presentations and visits, as well as to contribute directly to environment protection by joining outdoor cleanup tasks.
These cleanup tasks may be arranged in partnership with the above mentioned organisations or run solely by SEEDS. We also aim to involve the local community, so some of our events may be open to the public. We hope participants will learn how to plan and carry out their own trash cleaning projects back at home. This project is based on similar activities around the world, where outstanding results have been achieved with volunteers. Volunteers can choose one of the two options below, included as hands-on volunteering activity in the camp:
A day trip combining a visit to the Hellisheiði geothermal power plant, a trash collection in the area, and the Hot River Hike, a hike up a valley filled with hot springs where one can bathe.
A day trip to the Reykjanes Peninsula, combined with a coastal cleanup in the area.
Please note that all activities are subject to weather conditions and the availability of our partners.
This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun. No previous experience is needed. Volunteers should prepare to share environmental issues from their countries and be ready to spend time outdoors, walking medium to long distances during the cleanups, and during other activities such as sightseeing. Since a part of the project happens 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.
