Arbeit

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...)
7. Language classes with the children (according to the language(s) the volunteer knows)
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)
5. Bonfires
6. Birdwatching

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Since 2000, volunteers from all over the world have participated in summer programs designed to help improve the vegetable farm at the Childcare Center of Mongolia (Children's Home). However, between 2014-2018 they decided to discontinue their farming activities due to a lack of human resources and the unavailability of farming land. In 2017, our organization managed to rent farming land for the Children's Home, and they resumed their farming activities on this new land. As a result, our cooperation with their farm restarted in 2018. One of the main roles of international volunteers will be assisting with the farming work at the Children's Home.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

We will pick up volunteers from the airport or train station

The additional fee of 250 USD for full term of participation and 180 USD for 1 week participation (or equivalent amount of MNT or Euro by current rate of Mongolian bank) should be paid on your arrival directly.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

According to the Nordic sagas Hiiumaa emerged from the Baltic Sea as a small islet more than 10 000 years ago. The island of Hiiumaa was first mentioned in historical documents as a deserted island called Dageida in 1228. The first inhabitants settled down at the end of the 13th century. Nowadays Hiiumaa is the second biggest island of Estonia with the area of 965 sq. km and the population around 9 000. It has many historical and nature sights, and there are kind people known for their hospitality and good sense of humor. The island is referred as a remote area of Europe, so EstYES feels particularly proud developing international voluntary projects for over 20 years there. For decades EstYES has been cooperating with farms all over Estonia to show solidarity and give practical support to local people who work in agricultural sector keeping traditional life style and developing new eco-farming despite of difficulties they face. Lepaniidi Farm on Hiiumaa is one of such projects. This is an organic farm promoting sustainable lifestyle, and camp is offered to volunteers who appreciate and share its values, want to learn more about it and help hard working people.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

ProjectFor a decade EstYES promotes camps where parents and children can participate together. The idea is to create a kind of temporary community where adults and children can share ideas of voluntary activity for the benefit of rural area. Camp schedule allows adults to act as volunteers like in any other voluntary camp working 4-5 hours a day for practical tasks. Meanwhile children work as well, in the sense that they take part in the activities helping parents and sharing easy tasks with them. Local hosts supported by parents care about the children during the working activities, providing snacks, proposing games and activities, etc. In the daily free time and during days off group excursions and other activities will be organised by the local hosts. Parents can join the camp in pair or alone with their children. Some English is necessary for parents in order to communicate among them and with the campleader. The camp follows a positive experience of almost 20 years VenueIt is a very long tradition for EstYES to organize international workcamps in co-operation with Kiidi Farm located in the Voru County in the South of Estonia. With the support of the state and local authorities the eco- and farm sustainable tourism has been developed in this area. Besides promoting the environmental tourism, this initiative supports rural development, which is an important issue for Estonia. Estonian Association of Farm Tourism has launched several projects, and Kiidi Farm, where the camp takes place, is one of them. It is run by large Piho family with 8 kids, who were kids when we started our cooperation but are young adults of different age now. Nevertheless, they continue to contribute to the camp success. More information on Kiidi Farm is on site www.kiidi.ee

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

As one of Thailand’s most significant World Heritage sites, Ayutthaya continues to reflect the dynamic interplay of cultural exchange, historical continuity, and riverine landscapes. In the context of ongoing socio-economic and environmental change, the relationship between the historic city and its waterways must be actively reinterpreted to support both heritage authenticity and long-term sustainability.

Under this theme, we continue to expand collaboration with partners, experts, and emerging networks to strengthen collective action in heritage protection and advocacy. Through these shared efforts, both tangible and intangible heritage are sustained, ensuring that interconnected stories, practices, and heritage ecosystems remain active and relevant within evolving cultural contexts.

Objectives
Expanding the Heritage Ecosystem Beyond Material Culture. Strengthening connections between Ayutthaya’s historic city and its surrounding riverine and rural communities by integrating cultural landscapes, local traditions, and ecological networks into a broader heritage ecosystem framework.

Enhancing World Heritage Management Skills. Equipping participants with practical knowledge to interpret and communicate the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of heritage sites, with a focus on the dynamic relationship between heritage and its wider setting.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This project is actively working for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with the local group since 2019. Known as a town along the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage route, this village welcomes pilgrims who pass through on their way to Kakurin-ji Temple, the 20th of the 88 temples. However, due to depopulation and an aging society, the number of sudachi farmers has been decreasing, and passing on local traditions and resources has become a challenge. The host, originally from Oi, returned to his hometown and hopes that by gathering international volunteers through sudachi farming, they can help create a more attractive rural lifestyle for young people. They also organize events to promote international understanding for children and adults who have few opportunities to experience different cultures.

Arbeit

Volunteers at de Kleverbergh can experience what it’s like to live in an alternative co-housing community. You can help with a variety of tasks on the land, renovation and carpentry work, and daily household chores. Examples include weeding, harvesting, sowing, processing crops, and preparing healthy meals for the group. In addition, the community aims to preserve several cultural-historical structures, such as the ‘haaghut’, and to convert the stables of the riding school into a creative hub with studio spaces and areas for food processing. The tasks can be varied.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers stay on the site of the Kleverbergh, and meals are prepared daily through joint groups of volunteers and locals. There are several accommodation options. Volunteers can stay in their own tent, but there are also furnished tents and a few cabin-style huts on the grounds. Additionally, temporary houses belonging to members who are on vacation during the project period may be available. Arrangements can be made in consultation to find the most suitable solution.

Lage und Freizeit

The exact meeting point will be announced at a later time. Volunteers can be picked up in Nijmegen or Ooij by the project partner. In your free time, you can go walking or cycling in the surroundings of Erlecom in the Ooijpolder or the Millingerwaard. You can also take trips to larger towns, including Nijmegen or Arnhem. Erlecom is also very close to the German border, so making a trip to Kleve in Germany is another possibility.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

In the Ooijpolder near Nijmegen, on the site of an old brick factory, ‘de Kleverbergh’ is developing into a regenerative estate. The aim is to create a place where people, animals, and plants can live in balance, providing a home for everyone through inclusion and the celebration of diversity. From various backgrounds, the community is exploring how it can contribute to ecosystem resilience and restore balance. The vision is to design a biodiverse landscape with areas where nature can take its course and to produce healthy food with careful attention to soil quality. Additionally, there is a desire to involve more people in the production of organic food and to build ecologically, using reclaimed materials and minimizing environmental impact. Spaces are also being created for circular and regenerative social entrepreneurship, based on collaboration and reciprocity.
This project combines well with the other IBO project at an experimental eco-village in Wageningen. This is because these projects are organized consecutively. This allows you to travel around the Netherlands for two weeks and contribute to both projects!
