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

Arbeit

During the camp, volunteers will be involved in various activities of arranging and maintaining the area of ​​the "Pčelice" (Little bees) children's camp, as well as the rural household in its immediate surrounding, which is functionally and substantively connected to the camp and represents an important part of everyday life in the camp. The work will be combined, so that the volunteers will alternate between activities in the camp and at the rural household every day.
Planned activities include painting indoor and outdoor spaces (interior and exterior of the house on the property), painting auxiliary buildings, making and painting children's obstacles and props, as well as making large panels (posters) for drawing and creative work within the school space. Horticultural and basic agricultural works are also planned: planting roses, removing invasive plants, mowing and maintaining the grounds, arranging the forest path, creating and installing botanical signboards along the path, as well as creating ecological elements such as bird and squirrel houses and hotels for insects that contribute to biodiversity. Work with children will not be in focus, but at least one day of children's visit to the camp is planned. Volunteers will work about 5-6 hours a day, mostly in the morning or early afternoon. During the stay, a joint trip to Čačak with a tour of the sights will be organized.
Volunteers will be supported by the "Pčelice" camp staff, camp organizers, members of the village household who will be present throughout the camp, as well as local coordinators. Activities are designed as teamwork in a pleasant, supportive and motivating atmosphere.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

During the camp, the volunteers will be accommodated at the site of the children's camp "Pčelice", in tents. The camp is located in a natural environment, which allows volunteers to stay outdoors, have closer contact with nature and live together in camping conditions. Basic sanitary and hygienic conditions will be provided within the camp. In case of unfavorable weather conditions, there are conditions for sleeping indoors on farms in the immediate vicinity of the camp. Volunteers are obliged to bring sleeping bags, while tents and sleeping matts will be provided by the camp organizers.
Meals will be prepared in groups by the volunteers and during the first day of the camp a joint agreement and cooking schedule will be made. Each day, a couple or a small group of volunteers will be in charge of preparing the meal, which contributes to team spirit and getting to know each other.
The organizers of the camp will provide all the necessary food for the preparation of meals, in accordance with the agreement with the volunteers and their nutritional needs. Vegetarian options will be provided. However, due to the remote location and communal nature of the cooking, we are unable to guarantee the complete absence of cross-contamination or to fully adapt the diet for specific medical conditions such as celiac disease, severe allergies or similar restrictions. We ask volunteers with such needs to contact us in advance so that we can evaluate together whether the camp suits their needs.

Lage und Freizeit

Children's camp "Pčelice", where the volunteers will spend 14 days, is located in the village of Brezovica on the Jelica mountain. It is surrounded by nature, forest and clean air, ideal for a peaceful stay and work in a natural environment. Jelica Mountain is a protected natural area, known for its beautiful hiking trails and silence, and during the camp an excursion to the nearby town of Čačak and surrounding sights will be organized.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The "City Children" association based in Novi Sad acts as a local, informal, non-profit association focused on working with children and young people through educational, sports and socially beneficial activities. Through its programmes, the association encourages an active lifestyle, volunteerism, informal learning and participation of young people in the development of the local community. A special emphasis is placed on inclusion, teamwork and the acquisition of practical knowledge through experience.
Since the founder of the association was born in Čačak and knows firsthand the difficulties faced by children from rural and smaller urban areas, our mission is to provide them with a space where they can grow, learn and develop their teamwork skills and physical abilities. This is precisely why the "City Children" association chose to organize its first volunteer camp in the village of Brezovice, close to Čačak, in order to provide children from urban areas with a refuge in nature and to breathe new life into a school that has had no students for a long time. In addition, the association is very committed to ecology and the development of agriculture, and volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in the work of nearby farms in order to properly experience life in the countryside and better connect with the local community.
The international volunteer camp is organized by a team of young people with significant experience in working with children and youth, and although this is their first volunteer camp, their commitment to this idea makes this camp the right choice for any volunteer who appreciates good energy and enthusiasm.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

Will be in the info sheet!

Weitere Infos

The camp is intended for volunteers who are ready for basic camp living conditions, including staying and sleeping in tents, as well as teamwork and spending time in nature. The application must contain a mandatory letter of motivation, so that we can get to know the candidates better and understand their motivation for participating in this camp.

Arbeit

The project will take place at the permanent REV site, a former summer camp situated at an altitude of 1,200 meters. The building is situated at the foot of Mont Lozère in the heart of the Cévennes National Park. The REV association moved there in spring 2022 and wants to turn it into a place to welcome visitors, exchange ideas, and meet new people. To keep improving the garden started in 2025, you will build a wooden greenhouse dome, for year-round cultivation. This will contribute to transforming the site into a nourishing and supportive space where international volunteers, project volunteers, visitors, residents, etc. can meet.

You will be involved in constructing a wooden geodesic dome that will serve as a greenhouse for the community garden run by the association. This dome’s shape offers several advantages: it uses less material than a rectangular structure to cover the same area, it is wind-resistant (common at high altitudes), it captures light from all angles, and it prevents snow from accumulating on the roof (useful in winter). A technical supervisor will share their knowledge of wooden construction and guide you through building this structure during dedicated work sessions (25 hours/week).

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The workcamp is in a very remote area, where you will be accommodated in collective tents on the REV site (remember to bring a warm sleeping bag). You will have access to sanitary facilities close to the camp. Moreover, if weather conditions deteriorate too much for camping, a shelter a few meters away will be available. On the project, it is important to know that you will have two meat meals per week. Meals will be provided by the association and prepared by the participants, who will take it in turns to form cooking teams. Bring your best recipes!

Lage und Freizeit

The workcamp will take place in the hamlet of Finiels, which belongs to the commune of Pont-de-Monvert, located on Mont-Lozère in the heart of the Cévennes. The nearest town is Mende with 16,000 inhabitants.

Leisure: Although far from France's metropolises, Lozère is a very dynamic region. The region's activities revolve around local festivities, concerts, and unspoilt natural areas (mountains, rivers, forests).

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. This village has been welcoming Ohenro (pilgrims) who visit 88 temples in Shikoku since long time ago. The pilgrims walk through this village before visiting Kakurin-ji temple; the 20th temple out of 88 temples of the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage. However, there are problems which should be solved such as aging and depopulation of the community these days, and locals haven't been able to find solutions for those problems. On the other hand, since more and more people from overseas visit for the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage locals are trying to find new ways for omotenashi (hospitality). Volunteers who have been working on the project have come up with ideas for the reuse of vacant and abandoned land. Local host Oi have finally decided that they can freely renovate and modify the vacant houses. Moreover, the site is in a good location, with mountains, a river and fields. It is up to the volunteers from now on to decide how to develop the project. The aim is for the volunteer members to clean up the abandoned houses and village landscape and transform it into a village that people will want to visit to take photos, as it used to be a village where people came and went since ancient times.

Would you like to take part in an experimental archaeology project and learn traditional building techniques? Then this project is for you!
The Mont-Dore town hall is participating in a European project aimed at promoting high mountain heritage and wants to build semi-underground pastoral huts, also known as “tra”, as they existed in Auvergne in the 13th century.

Accompanied by an architect, you will use natural materials (local wood, grass) and traditional techniques. You will build the frame, the semi-underground walls, and the roof made of rolls of grass unrolled over the structure.
In the heart of the Auvergne mountains, you will work in a breathtaking setting on the Capucin peak at an altitude of 1,400 meters. There is no Wi-Fi available on site, and access to the site is by minibus and then along a steep path.

Whether you are passionate about archaeology, curious about history, a seasoned or novice DIY enthusiast, or simply looking for new experiences, your energy and ideas will be welcome.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation is in a flat, on mattresses. The flat has a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, 6 bedrooms, and a bathroom with a toilet.
And there are 12 mattresses available.

Mont Dore is located at a high altitude. It can sometimes get cold at night, but the sun is strong during the day.
You will share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the leaders and you will help with the shopping and preparation of meals, giving priority to healthy, local produce.

Lage und Freizeit

Nestled in the heart of the Sancy massif, Mont-Dore is a small mountain spa town in the Puy-de-Dôme department, located one hour from Clermont-Ferrand. Surrounded by volcanoes and wide open natural spaces, the landscapes are spectacular.
In your free time, you will have the opportunity to explore the many hiking trails and enjoy local outdoor activities in a preserved and rejuvenating setting. Activities involving the local residents will also be organized.

You can also enjoy the Horizons Arts-Nature en Sancy project, a huge artistic project combining walking and land art.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The project is being carried out in partnership with the Mont-Dore town hall and is part of a European project involving France, Portugal, and Spain. This project (Cultur-Monts) aims to highlight mountain “cultural landscapes.”
To continue giving the project an intercultural dimension, the Mont-Dore town hall wishes to call on an international work camp to build the pastoral huts.

ProjectThis project is organized for local children by The Language School In Down-Town and the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite (ALPS) as part of their annual activities on multicultural issues for youth. Some international teenage participants may join. The common project s aim is to introduce the diversity of world cultures to children and provide them with good practices in intercultural communication using the learning-by-doing method and organizing alternative English language practice. The project gets youngsters familiar with customs and traditions of the countries from all over the world and encourages them to develop their cross-cultural thinking and tolerance as well as global thinking and individual initiative. This summer we offer you to participate in our project called LANDSCAPES . We invite volunteers to support our camp participants learning about a new trend of ecosystems in nature, society, technologies, economy, politics and human relationships. Together, we plan to find out how these complex deeply interwoven ecosystems shape the way we live, learn and thrive, and what those competences are that empower humans to understand, navigate, and positively influence them. Camp participants will try to develop their strategies for a holistic, interconnected view of the world and gain ideas on how not just to survive in a complex world - but to help reshape it toward greater justice, sustainability, and flourishing for all life. Meetings with local and/or international professionals in the field will take place. Thematic photo and video contests for camp participants will be organized.NB It is possible and you are welcome to apply for 2 shifts in a row EST DT1 EST DT2 or EST DT3 EST DT4

Le château de Rochefort-en-Yvelines, dit "le château Gui Le Rouge", est inscrit aux monuments historiques depuis 1931. Ce site fascinant avec une vue imprenable sur les environs fut une forteresse stratégique au carrefour des routes commerciales. Depuis quatre ans, des bénévoles du monde entier redonnent vie à ce lieu en dégageant les ruines et en ouvrant de nouveaux chemins d'accès. Grâce à eux·elles, le village et son église du XIIe siècle retrouvent une vue imprenable.
L’année dernière déjà, plusieurs éléments historiques prometteurs ont été mis au jour lors des chantiers bénévoles de dévégétalisation qui ont permis de dégager les ruines du chateau de Gui Le Rouge. L’étude des anciennes excavations et la géophysique du site ont depuis révélé de nouvelles informations. Tu participeras aux premières fouilles archéologiques et contribueras à faire avancer la recherche. Encadré·e par un professionnel passionné, tu rejoindras l’équipe pour explorer le château et mettre au jour les traces du passé cachées sous les gravats modernes. Peu à peu, le château nous révélera ses secrets… et tu feras partie de cette découverte collective. Une expérience immersive correspondant à la première étape d’un diagnostic archéologique avant d’éventuelles fouilles professionnelles. Aucune compétence requise : seulement ta motivation, et ton envie de vivre une aventure humaine et scientifique unique !

The Rochefort-en-Yvelines castle, known as "Château Gui Le Rouge", has been listed as a historic monument since 1931. This fascinating site was a strategic fortress at the crossroads of trade routes. For the past four years, volunteers from around the world have been bringing this place back to life by clearing the ruins and opening new access paths. Thanks to them, the village and its 12th-century church have regained an unforgettable view.
Last year, several promising historical elements were already uncovered during volunteer vegetation-clearing workcamps, which made it possible to reveal the ruins of Gui Le Rouge Castle. The study of former excavations and the site’s geophysical surveys have since brought new information to light. You will take part in the first archaeological excavations and contribute to advancing the research. Supervised by a passionate professional, you will join the team to explore the castle and uncover traces of the past hidden beneath modern rubble. Little by little, the castle will reveal its secrets… and you will be part of this collective discovery. An immersive experience that will be the first stage of an archaeological assessment prior to possible professional excavations. No skills required: just your motivation and your desire to live a unique human and scientific adventure!

Arbeit

The load of work is split into the Morning and Afternoon shifts for 2 volunteers. There are no working hours but a list of tasks or operations, which are expected to be completed timely, meaning that the key time points for being at the campus logically come from the purpose of the working task according to the camp schedule. The same is about the days-off. There are days that are completely or partially free days with no or few tasks to do, other days may be more intensive involving long stay-in working days. The working tasks throughout the week fall into two main categories, such as household chores (including some simple cooking) and pastoral and welfare support (including urgent night patrol and access to the building). Thus, the volunteer will mainly do some of these: supervise meals and all kinds of sanitary routine, manage behaviour and adherence to policies as well as daily routine and order in bedrooms or facilities supervise campus health and safety orientation, manage evening activity and/or leisure programme, communicate with parents. The work requires high level of responsibility.

This project is organized for international teenagers by the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite (ALPS) on the basis of The Language School In Down-Town as part of their annual activities on multicultural issues for youth. Teenagers from several countries arrive to participate in the intercultural camp where day activities are integrated with local children, while evening free-time activities are held separately and of an optional nature. There is a group of international volunteers who facilitate day activities. Both international teenagers and volunteers are accommodated in the school premises. Thus, the main aim of this work camp is to provide a technical support like household chores and campus patrol, and to ensure a smooth and safe environment at school during the evening hours like pastoral and welfare support and communication for a group of 20-24 international teenagers of 14 to 17 years old.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This project is actively working for SDG2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with Akitsugawa Promotion Group (APG) since 2024. Tanabe City and Minabe Town in Wakayama Prefecture are Japan's largest Ume(plums) products-growing areas. The region features a unique plum cultivation agricultural system that has been recognized as a World Agricultural Heritage by FAO. This system utilizes nutrient-poor, gravelly, and unstable slopes, preserving firewood and charcoal forests while strategically planting plum orchards. For over 400 years, it has sustainably produced high-quality plums, maintained through various wisdom and innovations. However, the region is also suffering from an aging population and declining birth rate, and sustainable agriculture, particularly plum farming, is in danger due to a lack of manpower. An international workcamp was organized with the aim of spreading the plum and the region's attractions to volunteers from all over the world, and passing to the next generation.
