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

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.

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.

Arbeit

Each morning, you will lead 4-hour workshops for children at the nursery focusing on environmental awareness, digital detox, cooperation, and cultural respect, while afternoons are dedicated to preparing the following day's activities. The participants range from 3 to 17 years old, although the majority are usually between 3 and 6, and these workshops culminate in a community theatre performance about environmental protection, such as forest fire prevention or any other green theme chosen by the team, using recycled crafts created during the week as scenery. As local English levels are generally low, volunteers are encouraged to inspire the children through language, and those who speak Spanish are asked to use it to connect with the community, taking the initiative to foster a "culture of peace" and a great atmosphere in Jódar.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers will stay at the municipal nursery. Living conditions are basic: please bring a sleeping bag (mats provided, but check availability first). The center includes toilets, showers, a washing machine, and free access to the municipal pool.

Meals: Usually, volunteers cook their own meals. However, we hope to have a professional chef for lunch again this year!
Note: To promote sustainability, the group will have one "Vegan Day" during the project.

Lage und Freizeit

Jódar is a village located close to Jaén. The main economic activity is agriculture and it is surrounded by the Natural Park of Sierra Magina which is a natural area with the high-quality landscape, pure and nearly virgin. Volunteers will have excellent possibilities to visit Cordoba/Granada or Seville and other spots like Jaén (Arabic baths and cathedral), Ubeda and Baeza. There is also a chance of doing a hiking route through the Serrezuela and the Sierra Magina and even to have a parapente experience in Pegalajar.

In a workcamp we also dedicate some time to a study part. It is an activity of non-formal learning, where you can gain new knowledge or form new opinions on different problems; all this is done in a relaxed and entertaining way.
The intercultural evening is a good way of intercultural learning. In every camp there is one evening, when all participants present their country in a relaxed way, making presentation, watching photos, telling stories, tasting typical dishes, drinks and sweets, dances etc. Please, have this evening in your mind while preparing your luggage to share a piece of your culture with the rest of volunteers.
The volunteers will have access to the local swimming pool of the town and will be able to enjoy their free times in the poolside.
As the local transportation is not very well connected, it is not easy to organize some trips to the big cities but depending on the volunteers, it could be possible to organize some trips to Málaga, Sevilla or Granada in the weekends. Keep in mind that De Amicitia is not financing your leisure time activities.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Guardabosques and De Amicitia works in collaboration in order to support Summer Camps with various English workshops.
This camp is a part of the project "European Youth in Action: policymakers for climate justice", co-funded by the Citizens, Equality. Rights and Values (CERV) programme of the European Commission. "EYA - European Youth in Action" aims at empowering European youth to make their voices heard by the decision makers on climate justice issues, through building of a structured path at European level for the engagement of youth. The project engages young people in expressing their vision on the Europe they want and on climate justice; increase knowledge and awareness on climate justice issues, improve competences in concrete actions for climate justice in three key related issues: energy transition, greenwashing, biodiversity.

ZLSM provides participants with free traveling by train in the south of Limburg.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The partner organization is the Zuid-Limburgse Stoomtrein Maatschappij, also known as the Miljoenenlijn. This historic steam train railway runs on two old railway lines in the south of the Netherlands. Because the construction was very expensive, it was given the nickname “Miljoenenlijn” (Million Line). Today, it is an important railway monument with great cultural and historical value.

Arbeit

The activities take place on the historic naval minesweeper Hr.Ms. Mercuur. Tasks include maintenance such as sanding, painting, and basic woodwork, as well as welcoming visitors, giving tours, creating promotional materials, and doing market research on the ship’s reputation in Vlissingen and Middelburg. The minesweeper is docked and can no longer sail, as its blades have been removed. Working on the ship sometimes requires maneuvering through small rooms and narrow, steep staircases. The deck can become very slippery when it rains, so always wear sturdy shoes.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation is in a stone scouting building in Middelburg, with separate bedrooms for males and females and shared bathroom facilities. Bedrooms have airbeds, so you need to bring your own sleeping bag and pillow. A fully equipped kitchen is available, and outside there is space for outdoor games and a large BBQ area.

The group will cook together using the available facilities.

Arbeit

The purpose of this workcamp is to participate in the recovery of old paths and learn the history of the Pyrenees, learn about culture and nature, and participate in both with different activities of preservation and conservation.
The technical work that will be carried out in the field of work consists, in general, in different tasks related to the recovery of the old roads of the valley.
The following are the main ones:
- Road clearing: mowing grass, bushes, etc., which grow in the spring to leave the roads comfortably passable on foot.
- Remove stones from the road: pick up stones that have fallen on the road and set them aside in an orderly manner at the edges to make the passage passable.
- Rebuild the simplest sections of dry stone wall: rebuild those walls that have fallen and are easily rebuildable.
- Improved signage with paint: review the tracking marks of the paths with paint according to the instructions given to us by the "Alt Pirineu" Natural Park.
- Improved paved sections: some trails have cobbled sections that have worn out; redo these sections in order to maintain the cobbled areas.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The accommodation is in a terrain called "Llavaners”. The site is in the municipality of “Soriguera”, between the villages of “Malmercat” and “Puigforniu”, and very close to “Tornafort”.
It's a camping area in the middle of nature, so you should definitely be eager to have a (somehow) wild experience!
Volunteers will spend their days at a campsite, and they will camp and sleep in tents; usually there are 3-4 participants per tent and no gender separation.
Tents are basic; mainly, there’s only space for sleeping or lying down. Tents will be provided by the organization, and volunteers will sleep on their mattresses on the floor.
Participants must bring their own sleeping bag (it’s highly recommended to bring a good one, as in the Pyrenees it can be cold at night even in summer) and mattress.
The campsite is equipped with two dry toilets and there are no standard indoor showers. However, there is a water point with a hose available for showering outdoors.
Additionally, the group can enjoy quick, refreshing baths in the nearby cold-water river.
Please be advised that there is no hot water available on-site; all showers, whether at thewater point or in the nearby river, use COLD WATER (we strongly recommend bringing eco- and biodegradable
shower gel or shampoo).
The facilities are gender-neutral and shared by the entire group. To ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable, the group will hold a collective discussion at the start of the program to establish clear
agreements regarding privacy, scheduling, and shared use of these spaces.

The volunteers are in charge of cooking and keeping the area clean and safe: they will be split into groups, each group will prepare the food for one day, and they will be rotating every day, so they will be camping in the field and cooking by themselves.
In general, lunch and dinner will be warm meals, but exceptions can be made in case of a trekking route or spending the whole day out of the campsite.
There’s no Wi-Fi at the campsite. However, there's a mobile phone signal in the area, so you should be able to connect to 4G almost everywhere.
IMPORTANT: there is no electricity in the terrain. But there is the possibility to charge the phones once a week.

Lage und Freizeit

The workcamp is done in a calm and peaceful area of the Catalan Pyrenees called “Vall de Siarb”.
This place is located inside one of the natural Park in Catalonia (Parc Natural de l’Alt Pirineu) and the village belongs to Soriguera municipality.
For more information about this part of the Pyrenees, you can visit the website http://parcsnaturals.gencat.cat/en/alt-pirineu/index.html
Some leisure activities:
- Talk by the members of the Parc de l'Alt Pirineu about the trails and paths and the biodiversity of the Park.
- Visit to the bunkers: visit to the Civil War bunkers in the Coll de Sant Joan, about 4 km from the camp. The context of the Civil War and the specific situation of Pallars Sobirà and the Vall de Siarb will be explained.
- Visit to the Despoblat de Santa Creu de Llagunes: guided visit to the medieval Despoblat where we can see the strategic location of the town, its function during the medieval period and why the wall, the watchtowers.
- Thematic tour of the mills: circular itinerary of the mills, where you can see the remains of two flour mills and a hydroelectric power plant that supplied electricity to several villages in the Vall de Siarb.
- Itinerary of Tornafort: circular excursion that will allow us to get to know the paths of the surroundings visiting the picturesque town of Tornafort.
- Vilamur itinerary: circular excursion that will take us from the land to the village of Vilamur, then towards Soriguera, and following the river we will return to the camp.
- Orientation activity: the group will be divided into different teams and based on a series of clues related to the environment they will have to decipher an enigma or map. This dynamic enhances group cohesion and organization, agility and skills.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The organization in charge of the work camp is "Balmes Blancs", a non-profit association created in 2010 with the aim of offering unique activities in nature with the aim of presenting new places and new people and deepening, thus, the knowledge of the Catalan territory.
Since its inception, it has organized various activities such as snowshoe outings with animal footprints, astronomical discoveries, kayak outings to discover marine fauna, rafting drops, hiking in the mountains, or leveling and safety workshops, among others.
In 2013 the association began working in the Siarb Valley. From that moment on, Balmes Blancs began to focus its activities around this valley and, among other things, guided visits to the "Despoblat de Santa Creu" de Llagunes, visits to the trenches on the Pallars front and to the Vilamur bunkers, discoveries of geology, and activities of flora and fauna in the environment.
At the same time, the refuge promotes hiking with the creation of signposted routes around Llagunes, as well as a series of actions aimed at recovering the heritage of the Siarb Valley and discovering rural life in Pallars Sobirà and in the rest of the Pyrenees.

Arbeit

Depuis plus de 10 ans, bénévoles et salarié·e·s en insertion des jardins maraîchers naturels de Grigny œuvrent ensemble autour de projets de maraîchage, construction et aménagements paysagers. Le chantier de cette année offrira aux volontaires l'occasion de contribuer à l'amélioration des conditions d’accueil du grand public à la ferme.
Cette année, tu participeras activement à l’amélioration du cadre de vie à la ferme en contribuant à l’aménagement d’une nouvelle aire de repos dans le parc. Ce projet inclut la construction de mobiliers en bois, comme des bancs et des tables de pique-nique, qui permettront d’offrir un espace convivial aux visiteurs. Tu seras accompagné·e par un encadrant technique et pourras apprendre à manier des outils comme un·e pro et à découvrir des techniques de menuiserie et de peintures. Et parce que la ferme ne serait pas la ferme sans jardin, tu t’initieras aussi au maraîchage et à la permaculture en mettant les mains dans la terre. Comme la ferme est un lieu vivant, les tâches pourront varier selon les besoins du moment au cours du séjour.

For over 10 years, volunteers and employees in job integration programs at the natural market gardens of Grigny have been working together on projects involving vegetable farming, construction, and landscape development. This year’s workcamp will give volunteers the opportunity to help improve the farm’s facilities for welcoming the general public.
This year, you will actively take part in improving life at the farm by helping to develop a new relaxation area in the park. The project includes building wooden furniture, such as benches and picnic tables, to create a welcoming space for visitors. You will be supported by a technical supervisor and will learn how to handle tools like a pro while discovering carpentry and painting techniques. And since the farm wouldn’t be a farm without its garden, you will also get an introduction to market gardening and permaculture and get your hands in the soil. As the farm is a lively and ever-evolving place, tasks may vary throughout your stay depending on current needs.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Les bénévoles seront logés dans des tentes individuelles sur le terrain de la Ferme Saint-Lazare, dans un espace ombragé situé à proximité de l'espace de vie de l'association, qui comprend une cuisine, un chapiteau, des douches et des installations sanitaires.
Au-delà des temps de chantier, les bénévoles participent ensemble à l’organisation de la vie collective. Souvent réparti·e·s en équipes, ils·elles élaborent les menus, participent aux courses, préparent les repas et s’assurent de la propreté des espaces communs. Véritable acteur·ice de ton expérience, tu participeras aussi à la prise de décisions concernant les activités collectives et l’organisation du quotidien !
Dans une optique de réduction de l’impact environnemental de nos chantiers, nous privilégions des menus végétariens, qui répondent à tous les besoins nutritionnels des participant·e·s.
Le groupe sera constitué de bénévoles français·e·s et internationaux·ales. Afin d’assurer l’intégration de tout le monde, nous comptons sur toi pour parler anglais autant que possible !

Volunteers will be accommodated in individual tents in a shaded area of the farm park, close to the association’s communal living facilities: kitchen, marquee, showers, toilets, and gathering spaces.
Beyond working hours, volunteers come together to organise daily life on the camp. Often divided into teams, they plan menus, help with the shopping, prepare meals, and ensure the cleanliness of shared spaces. Fully involved in shaping your experience, you will also take part in decision-making regarding group activities and daily organisation!
In order to reduce the environmental impact of our projects, we prioritise vegetarian menus, which meet all the nutrional needs of participants.
There will be French volunteers on the workcamp. Some of them might not speak English. This can be an opportunity for everyone to develop new language skills and innovatove ways of communicating!

Arbeit

Together, we will build a larch wood mine gallery using traditional carpentry techniques from the mining era (18th-19th centuries). The aim is to integrate it into the visitor circuit, providing a better understanding of how miners worked. The first step will involve working with the wood, collecting larch logs and stripping their bark on site. These logs will then be transported to the mine where they will be assembled to create the gallery. Other workshops will focus on building dry stone walls to maintain the mine's visitor circuit. There will be four workdays per week, from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm and from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. This project requires no special skills and will be supervised by a technical instructor who will be happy to share their knowledge of the mine's history and traditional construction techniques.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation is located on the place of the chantier. You will be housed in rooms with 2 to 3 beds, equipped with mattresses, pillows, and a shower in each room. Please bring your sleeping bag. You will participate in the daily life of the group and the site. Each day, a pair of volunteers will cook with the staff, and meals will be shared with the other residents of the hamlet in a friendly atmosphere. You will help with washing dishes and tidying up the dining and kitchen areas. Meals will be adapted to dietary needs whenever possible.

Lage und Freizeit

Location : The hamlet of La Minière de Vallauria is located at an altitude of 1500 meters. The site is nestled in the mountains, bisected by a river. We are 10 km from the village of Tende (06430) (2 hours from Nice by train) and 50 km from Ventimiglia (Italy).

Leisure Activities : There will be three days off work per week. These days will be an opportunity to connect in a different way, explore the surrounding area, and meet people from the hamlet and neighboring villages. Your group will initiate and organize leisure activities, guided by a facilitator. Individual preferences, local activities, and budgets will influence your choices. Activity rooms, a friendly bistro, relaxation areas, a playground, and the entire mountain are all available to you on site.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

At an altitude of 1500 meters, at the gateway to the Mercantour National Park, the Neige et Merveilles association welcomes you to the hamlet of Vallauria, a mining village steeped in history just waiting to be shared. Over 60 years ago, a group of friends working at Renault dreamed of creating a village where people of different nationalities and social backgrounds could meet. The entire site is open to all. Young people, older people, groups, individuals, and school classes come together to understand, share, question, build, and feel. The ruins of the hamlet have been, and continue to be, renovated by young people from all over the world, driven by the desire to build a better world for tomorrow. Above the hamlet lies a silver-lead mine, in operation since the 13th century. The medieval section represents a geological heritage intertwined with the mythical Valley of Wonders, sure to interest those with a curious mind.
