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

Volunteers will be involved in two main types of activities during the camp. The first work activity refers to the removal of invasive species of fish in Lake Gruža, which will be carried out in cooperation with local fishermen, with prior familiarization of volunteers with the basics of freshwater ecosystems, the importance of controlling invasive species and the rules of safe stay on the water. Activities will take place on and near the lake, in smaller groups and with the constant presence of experienced fishermen and members of the organizational team.

In addition, during the camp, two to three organized actions to clean up the shores of Lake Gruža are planned, which will include the removal of waste from coastal areas and raising awareness of a responsible attitude towards natural resources. These activities will be carried out with the coordination of association members and the participation of the local population.

Another work activity will be focused on the preparation and improvement of educational settings in the Ecological Information Center "Jezero Gruža", including the creation and installation of interactive boards, marking of educational paths and the preparation of educational content that will be used in working with visitors to the center, especially children and young people.

Work activities are planned for 5 to 6 hours a day, in the morning and early afternoon (approximately from 9 to 15/16), after which free time and recreational activities are planned.

As part of the program, special days are planned for a walk in nature, a stay at the lake and a visit to the local fair in Knić, in order for the volunteers to get to know the local environment and community. Throughout the camp, volunteers will be assisted in their work by camp coordinators, association members and local fishermen.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation for camp participants will be organized in the premises of the Ecological Information Center "Jezero Gruža". The participants will be accommodated in the closed rooms of the center, on camping beds with appropriate pads, and bedding is provided. Accommodation will be organized in smaller rooms, with two to three campers per room, which ensures adequate conditions for rest and stay.

Food will be organized within the Ecological Information Center "Jezero Gruža", with the use of the center's kitchen. Camp participants will independently prepare meals from foods that will be provided in cooperation with rural households and local producers. The kitchen will be available for storing food, as well as for preparing meals, snacks and hot and cold drinks.

Sanitary conditions are adapted to the needs of the participants, with provided toilets and areas for maintaining personal hygiene. All enclosed facilities of the center will be available for participants to store personal belongings and will be securely locked, thus ensuring a safe and controlled environment for all volunteers.

Lage und Freizeit

Lake Gruža is an artificial reservoir in central Serbia, located in the municipality of Knić. It was created by damming the Gruža River, and today it represents a key source of water supply for Kragujevac and the surrounding settlements. Surrounded by untouched nature, the lake is a habitat for rich flora and fauna and a favorite destination for fishermen, hikers and nature lovers.

Lake Gruža is an internationally important bird habitat (IBA area), where rare and protected species live. It is also one of the most important fishing waters in Serbia, rich in carp, perch and other types of fish. In the immediate vicinity is the Borački karst, a geomorphological monument of nature, which further enriches the natural and touristic importance of this area.

The camp will be held in the immediate vicinity of Lake Gruža, in the Ecological Information Center (EIC) "Jezero Gruža", which is an educational and research center dedicated to nature protection, especially water protection. This space is ideal for spending time in nature, with infrastructure adapted for workshops, lectures and practical outdoor activities.

In the EIC "Jezero Gruža" there is a permanent exhibition "Life in water", which shows the most important aquatic organisms from the waters of Serbia and the Balkans. Camp participants will gain new knowledge about nature conservation, the importance of freshwater ecosystems and sustainable development through interactive programs, environmental actions and teamwork, with the opportunity to explore biodiversity and observe birds in the natural environment.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Ekomar - the Association for the Promotion and Ecological Marketing of Natural Values ​​has been actively operating since 2015 with the aim of protecting the environment and raising environmental awareness. We place a special focus on working with young people, through the education of primary and secondary school students, as well as students, through various projects and programs. In this context, we are again applying for the organization of the camp, relying on our previous experience and developed organizational capacities.

One of our key projects is the Ecological Information Center "Jezero Gruža", a unique place for education about the importance of preserving freshwater ecosystems. Through workshops, camps and interactive educational programs, every year we involve young people, enabling them to acquire knowledge about biodiversity, nature protection and sustainable development through practical work and research. Since 2022, over 3,000 participants have participated in our programs, while in 2025, we successfully organized the first international volunteer camp, which further improved the quality and scope of our activities.

Our team consists of experts in the fields of biology, ecology and pedagogy, with extensive experience in the implementation of projects of local to international importance, as well as many years of experience in working with young people, from preschool age to students.

Through continuous work with young people and active participation in the creation and implementation of environmental policies, we continue to build an environmentally conscious community and contribute to the preservation of natural values.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

ACI Costa Rica in English stands for the Costa Rican Intercultural Association (known in Spanish as Asociación Costarricense de Interculturalidad).Founded in 1967, it is a non-profit organization focused on promoting cross-cultural experiences, international volunteering, and non-formal education for global citizenship.

We believe that these activities contribute to solidarity and friendship between the societies of our world. As well as sustainable human development and the possibility for our participants to grow and become global citizens: independent, multilingual, with intercultural compression and open mindedness.

We partner with local projects that operate year-round, which allows us to send volunteers with great flexibility throughout the year

One such project is Finca La Flor: a project we have been collaborating with for a long time. Finca La Flor is a nonprofit organization founded over 25 years ago, designed as a project that integrates three interconnected areas: regenerative and agricultural practices, environmental education, and culture and well-being.

The project has always been nourished by the knowledge of the locals, who know well the crops grown in the area, the planting season and the area and a host of other details that helped to recover the land on the farm. The project has always had a social objective.
In the past, we have collaborated with schools, colleges, universities, and families to develop activities that raise awareness about the environmental and social impact of human actions and to explore more respectful and harmonious alternatives for living.

Right now, the project needs our help. The project is currently in a phase of reactivation, gradually retaking and strengthening the principles that have historically shaped farm; living in harmony with nature, fostering community, encouraging conscious use of resources, and promoting sustainable and socially inclusive practices. All of this in a well-being and cultural enriching environment. With ACI's partnership, we have decided to develop our first Workcamp in Costa Rica. Two weeks of impact, nature and intercultural living in Costa Rica.

Farm La Flor is a space to share moments, knowledge, experiences, to deepen in the present moment and to live day by day in a simple way and in connection with nature.

Anforderungen

  • Basic knowledge of Spanish and / or English.
  • Interest in regenerative practices, organic gardening, and responsible animal care.
  • It is important that the person is open to share as there are always many visitors of all ages on the farm.
  • We also ask our volunteers to be aware of the amount of waste they generate. At the Finca we try to re-use everything and if it is not possible, we recycle it.
  • It is very important to us that visitors do not leave any belongings on the farm that they no longer
    use (old clothes and/or shoes, old shoes, etc.).
  • The work on the farm is physical, so it is important to be very careful when performing the tasks for example not to hurt yourself, especially when handling tools.
  • It is essential that volunteers have insurance

Wuqi District is located on a plain between the Da an River and the Dadu River, bordering Qingshui District to the north, Shalu District to the east, Longjing District to the south, and the Taiwan Strait to the west. Today, Wuqi s coastline is connected to Taichung Port. As a coastal town, Wuqi s development history is inextricably linked to the rise and fall of its port.Wuqi was formerly known as Zhuofaxie and Wuqi Port. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, it was called Ao Xi. In the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1891), it was renamed Wuqi Port, meaning the phoenix does not perch on places other than Wuqi, does not drink from springs other than the sacred spring, and does not eat bamboo .On December 25, 2010, Wuqi Township was upgraded to Wuqi District as part of the merger of Taichung County and City into a special municipality. Although the administrative area is not vast, it still has a deep cultural tourism potential, especially its rich cultural assets, such as local historical relics, historical buildings, and local folk culture, which are all worth seeing.In the past few years of its prosperous years, temples have also become ubiquitous buildings in Wuqi, reflecting the piety of the ancestors to religion and their expectations for life. When the northeast monsoon blows, local eels migrate, leading to a proliferation of seafood restaurants in Wuqi. These restaurants not only satisfy the palates of locals but also allow visitors to experience the daily life of this land.Aims:The coastal area of Taichung boasts numerous traditional buildings and is a region where population migration and folk activities flourish. The purpose of this activity is to understand the importance of preserving the environment of the port area and to learn about the historical buildings in the port area of Taichung City, such as the traditional houses in Wuqi Old Street. Participants will learn about traditional architecture and its reuse methods. Furthermore, this activity will allow participants to experience the local customs, industries, and lifestyle of Taichung Port.

The Workcamp will be based in Espinhosela, a village located in the heart of Montesinho natural park, Bragança district, in the Northeastern part of Portugal, near the border with Spain (41.896854, -6.842691). Montesinho Natural Park is one of the best protected areas of Portugal, where it is possible to find red deer, roe deer, wild boar and healthy population of wolves. Its landscape consists of patches of oak tree forests, with forests and orchards of chestnut trees, which constitute one of the main economic incomes of the local community.
Even though Espinhosela is very rural, it is only 17 km away from Bragança city centre. Most of the population is quite aged, but due to the 4 nature routes that cross the village, there is an influx of tourists in the village. The village has a souvenir shop with local products.
