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 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!

Arbeit

Unlike traditional workcamps, this project does not include physical or construction work. Instead, it is an intensive youth program where volunteers take active roles as part of the organizational and facilitation team. Volunteers will:
-Support the planning and implementation of daily workshops
-Facilitate intercultural activities and group discussions
-Lead energizers, team-building games, and reflection sessions
-Assist with logistics and daily program coordination
-Support participants in adapting to group life
The program is highly interactive and workshop-based. Although there is no manual labor, the schedule is intensive. The camp lasts one week, and activities run every day with a full and structured program. Volunteers should be prepared for long and active days. This camp is suitable for motivated individuals who enjoy working with young people, facilitating activities, and being part of a dynamic team environment.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation and three meals per day will be provided at the camp venue by the host organization. Volunteers will stay in shared rooms, with female and male participants accommodated separately.

Lage und Freizeit

The camp will take place in Çanakkale, a city known for its historical significance and coastal atmosphere. While the daily program is intensive, volunteers may have limited free time in the evenings to explore the surroundings, spend time by the sea, or relax with the group. The camp experience is less about tourism and more about meaningful interaction, youth empowerment, and intercultural exchange.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This workcamp will be held in Güneşane Vakfı, based in Çanakkale.
The East-West Camp is a long-running program of Gönüllü Hizmetler Derneği that has been bringing together young people from Türkiye and abroad since 2008. The aim is to create an empowering intercultural environment for young people who may not otherwise have access to international experiences.
The camp particularly focuses on youth from Türkiye who have had limited opportunities to engage in the international environment. Through collective learning, workshops, and shared experiences, participants discover their strengths, gain confidence, and realize what they are capable of achieving together.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

Detailed arrival instructions will be shared with accepted participants.

Anforderungen

The acceptance phase is a 2-step process. As a first step, CVs and motivation letters will be requested from volunteers and as a second step volunteers will be interviewed via Zoom / Google Meet by camp leaders.

Arbeit

“Youth for Smile” implements mobile youth work with children and young people in rural areas. During this camp, volunteers will play an important role in supporting these activities.

The activities will take place in small and remote villages such as Bārbele, Stelpe, and Dāviņi, where access to youth opportunities is limited due to low population density and distance from larger towns.

Main Activities
Volunteers will help organise and support:
Creative workshops for children and young people
Outdoor and team-building activities
Orientation games and sports tourism activities
High ropes and adventure-based learning elements
Non-formal education sessions

The target group includes children and young people aged 7 to 25.

Before the activities begin, volunteers will receive preparation and guidance to understand the methods used in mobile youth work and non-formal education. You will work together with experienced youth workers and learn by doing.

This workcamp is about bringing opportunities to young people in rural areas, supporting their development, and creating meaningful and active experiences in communities where such activities are not regularly available.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Living conditions during the project will be very basic and close to nature. Volunteers will stay at a rural farm and experience simple, environmentally friendly living.

Accommodation will be in tents provided by the organisers, with mattresses included. Volunteers should bring their own sleeping bags. Tents will be shared by two participants.

In case of extreme weather conditions or other emergency situations, accommodation may be moved to adapted farm buildings (such as a barn, granary, or another agricultural building). In such extraordinary situations, it may not be possible to separate sleeping arrangements by gender.

Sanitary conditions are simple and ecological:

An outdoor solar shower will be available.
A dry toilet (compost toilet) will be used.
Washing facilities will be basic.

As the farm uses a biological sewage system, all volunteers are required to use environmentally friendly personal hygiene products (biodegradable soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.). This is an important part of the project’s sustainability approach, and through daily practice we will actively integrate eco-friendly habits into our everyday lives.

Meals will be prepared by the volunteers themselves in the outdoor kitchen, including cooking on an open fire when appropriate. This will be organised in teams, encouraging cooperation and shared responsibility.

Volunteers are kindly asked to bring some traditional or typical food from their home country for the International Evening.

Lage und Freizeit

The workcamp takes place in Bārbele village, Bauska municipality, in a peaceful rural environment surrounded by forests, meadows, and wetlands. The farm is located approximately 6 km from the village centre, offering a quiet and nature-based living experience. The nearest bus stop is 3 km away.

The administrative centre of the region is Bauska, situated about 60 km from Riga, the capital city of Latvia.

The location provides wide opportunities to explore Latvian nature. Volunteers will have the chance to:

Go for forest walks and discover local biodiversity
Explore nearby wetlands and learn about bog ecosystems
Observe wildlife and experience authentic rural landscapes
Enjoy silence, dark skies, and connection with nature

The camp environment encourages outdoor living and physical activity. On-site there are possibilities for sports and active leisure, including volleyball, basketball, and football. Informal evening games and outdoor activities are often a natural part of community life in the camp.

Volunteers are also encouraged to actively plan their free time. Small group excursions can be organised to Bauska or Riga, where participants can explore cultural and historical sites, museums, cafés, and urban life.

During the camp, there will be opportunities to organise intercultural evenings, share traditions, food, music, and stories from your home countries.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

International arrival terminals are Riga International Airport or Riga International Bus Station.

The final meeting point will be at Gaisma bus stop. Please inform us about your arrival time at least one day before the camp starts.

Planning your journey, navigating public transport, communicating in an international environment, managing time and budget – these are all important life skills and competences. Travel itself is part of the non-formal learning process.

To support smooth communication, we will create a WhatsApp group for practical questions. This will also be a great opportunity to connect with other participants in advance and possibly organise parts of your journey together.

We invite you to use this opportunity to learn, explore and grow already on your way to the camp.
