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?

This project will be carried out in cooperation with a natural park, located near Bogotá, between 2.100m and 2.600m above sea level.

Arbeit

Come and experience something unique in Avricourt, in the heart of Picardy!
Join us in restoring the charming church of Avricourt, a true local heritage gem that withstood the challenges of World War I.
Building on the work of previous teams, you’ll help renovate the church’s interior. On the agenda: traditional masonry, joint repairs, pillar restoration, and plasterwork.
And there’s more! Depending on your skills and interests, surprises await you throughout this exciting project.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will have the village hall at your disposal as a place to live, which includes a well-equipped kitchen (community oven, dishwasher, big fridge etc.). Individual tents will be provided as well as a fallback solution in the village hall in case of bad weather. Please note that only one shower and one toilet will be available on site. The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together. The budget will be allocated to the group leader and you will participate in the grocery shopping and in the preparation of meals, prioritising healthy products from local producers.

Lage und Freizeit

Avricourt is located 15 km from Noyon, in the North of Oise. In a central location in Picardie, you can visit Amiens, its cathedral and its “hortillonnages” (floating gardens), Compiegne and its imperial palace, Noyon and its historical centre. You can also hike in the surrounding countryside among cereal fields and small pasture valleys. If you are a nature lover, you could even discover the educational beehive with the school children and the beehives of a small local producer. A concert given by the local band in the church is planned the day before the departure of the volunteers.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The village of Avricourt is a historical partner of our office, 27 years of camp on this church. With just 500 inhabitants, this small community goes above and beyond to warmly welcome volunteers: shared meals, dinner invitations, homemade jam, and fresh vegetables from the garden are just part of the traditionhere.
Plenty of interactions await you! Together with the support of the animation team, you’ll also have the opportunity to organize events and activities for the villagers and the children at the local school.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

The meeting point is scheduled at NOYON train station at the end of the afternoon on September 4th. The exact meeting time will be given with the info sheet which will be sent at least 4 weeks before the start of the workcamp.

From PARIS, you can take a train from PARIS - Gare Du Nord train station, regular departures are scheduled throughout the day (one train per hour). It is roughly a one-hour trip.

The trains are open to booking about 4 months before the departure dates, accessible on the following website: https://www.sncf-connect.com/en-en/

If possible, please consider using low-carbon transportation (train and bus rather than airplane) for a sustainable international workcamp.

If you are coming first by plane, remember that you will need some time to commute from the airport to the train station, therefore we recommend that you arrive early enough for you not to rush and have a stress-free travel.

Weitere Infos

Please bring work clothes for the construction site and tight shoes. For the accommodation under tent, don’t forget your sleeping bag as well as a sleeping mat for more comfort.
You can also bring with you specialties from your country, photos, musical instruments, in short what you like and want to share on this site, either with the local population or with the group!

Arbeit

Working with clay, traditional building methods, landscape and nature conservation, and environmental education tools are the main tasks of this international Workcamp. Two main areas of work will appoint two taskforces:

1) In the cultural centre Alte Ziegelei Mainz (translation: Former Brickworks Mainz) you re-point the masonry of the historic ring kiln, do landscape conservation work and various tasks on the grounds of the old brickworks and in the brick museum.

2) In the Waldnaturschutzzentrum (translation: Forest Nature Conservation Centre) you construct a clay oven. This clay oven will be available for use on public dates, e.g. for baking pizza. There are also plans to hold regular baking days at the site, where interested parties can bake their own bread on site. There are numerous other activities to enjoy on site, e.g. in the WaldArtenGarten (translation: ForestSpeciesGarden), which was created during the last international workcamp. There, work involves some biotope maintenance and assistance with the opening of an exhibition at the art college.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You stay in several rooms in the cultural center Alte Ziegelei Mainz. The standard of the accommodation is rather basic: A kitchen, toilets, showers, and camping beds are available. Please bring your sleeping bag.

The entire group does grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning together. Food will be bought with the camp budget. To minimize our carbon footprint on the planet, we encourage volunteers to reduce meat and try more environmentally-friendly meals.

Lage und Freizeit

Mainz is a vibrant city with approximately 230’000 inhabitants – rich in cultural life, sights, and history. It is quite easy to reach by train or plane (Frankfurt Airport is very close). You will have the opportunity of joint actions with local volunteers active in nature conservation associations followed by a ‘Festival of Cultures’ with culinary specialties from around the world.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

For this project, IBG works with two local partners:
The Alte Ziegelei Mainz, the former brick factory, was shut down in the 1970s. In the 19th century, brick production was an important part of regional industry and contributed significantly to the construction development of Mainz and the surrounding area. For decades, the brickworks produced building materials for numerous residential and industrial buildings. These are protected historic monuments now and offer home for a drama school, a nursery, accommodation for refugees, an adult education center, an unemployment initiative, and the Association for the Environment and Nature Conservation. It offers citizens space for private parties at two barbecue areas. The outdoor area has been redesigned taking into account the old clay pits and natural features. A near-natural system of woodlands, orchards, and meadows has been created, alternating with agricultural land.
The Forest Ober-Olm (approx. 5km from the Alte Ziegelei) is home to the Forest Nature Conservation Centre (WNZ), an environmental education facility with the UN's SDGs as guiding principles. Numerous groups come to the WNZ for environmental education events, public campaigns, and the maintenance of the Ober-Olmer Forest nature reserve. During the international Workcamp, an exhibition opening with students from the Mainz Art Academy is planned at the WNZ.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

Please check www.bahn.com for a connection from anywhere in Germany to “Bretzenheim Alte Ziegelei, Mainz”. This bus stop is only 3min walk from your accommodation.

Weitere Infos

Please be aware that ticks can be an issue after spending a lot of time outdoors. In our General Info Sheet you will find suggestions on how you can protect yourself against them.

Lage und Freizeit

Gokayama and Suganuma village in the Hokuriku region of Japan is a World Heritage Site, a village of Gassho-style houses, and a special place where beautiful scenery changes with the seasons and traditional culture lives on. (https://maps.app.goo.gl/a7SWiKQgTDoWxBf17) Other activities - Partying with locals, hiking, hot springs, etc.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This project will be the first to be co-hosted with the local group Transition Village Gokayama from 2025, and is actively working on SDG15 (protecting the richness of the land).Houbikiso, a former lodging facility near the World Heritage site Suganuma Gassho-style Village, has been repurposed as a place to learn and practice living in harmony with the Gokayama climate, living using the wisdom of the past in a Gassho-style building, and living in which people, animals, and plants coexist and circulate. The hosts are making small changes to the place and building the community. Together with volunteers from Japan and around the world, they hope to pass on the local cultural traditions to future generations. Currently, due to the aging population, there are few people who can take care of the thatched roofs with their history (which are grown on the slopes of the mountain) or grow traditional vegetables.

Weitere Infos

Participation fee - 18,000 JPY (99 EUR by the rate on 2026 Feb. 14) of NICE Volunteers fee need to be paid in advance either by Card or PayPal. This is used for the project preparation/ coordination such as the transportation of the staff/ camp leaders, visa invitation cost, publications, etc. while the meals and the accommodation are provided by the local host by free (so, your fee is not used for those things!).

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This project is actively working for SDG4 (Quality Education) and SDGS15 (Life on Land), newly organized together with Tomoiki, a local NPO to conserve the satoyama forest. In spite of the close location from the big cities such as Yokohama and Tokyo, around 50% of the land are still preserved as green area (forests and fields) in Okagami where the building constructions are strictly restricted. However, 2 hectare of the forest was abandon with a lot of rubbish (e.g., washing machines, cars), so Tomoiki was founded in 2003 by some local people to clean up, maintain, revive and utilize to enjoy this forest where there are some valuable, endangered species. Founding President of NICE moved to this town and started weekend workcamps by the local team since 2017 since Tomoiki wished to work with more young and outside volunteers. Over 600 volunteers many of who are students or families in/outside the town have joined in 22 weekend workcamps till now with creating a lot of great impact. To create new impact for the forest maintenance beyond weekend ones and involvement of the local community, the local team has decided to organize this first international workcamp!

Arbeit

Support climate protection and biodiversity by protecting the peatlands on the slopes of the lower mountain range “Hunsrück”. These areas were drained more than 100 years ago for forestry use and thereby lost their important ecological role as valuable and natural CO2 storage. Today, the revitalisation of these peatlands has become an essential task in climate protection, for which we need your help! The work is expected to take place in two different Hunsrück peatland areas: A forest near the tiny village of Hochscheid and an area of open moorland near Morbach. Under supervision of a park ranger you will:
• help improving the water balance to renature the moors and strengthen them for climate change
• close some ditches to control the water flow
• make the area more accessible for environmental education projects
Beware: The work might be physically hard and you will get wet and muddy for sure! Please bring hiking boots, rubber boots, and working clothes.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will stay in a spacious community center that includes a huge kitchen with a dishwasher, a living room, toilets, showers, a washing machine, and wifi. There is one big sleeping room with camping beds. Please bring your sleeping bag!

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Since 2000, volunteers from all over the world have been participating in summer programs designed to help/improve the vegetable farm of Childcare Center of Mongolia (Orphanage). But last 4 years orphanage decided to not continue their farming work because of lack of human resource and availability of land for farming. Since 2017 our organization managed to rent farming land for the Orphanage and they started their farming work on this land again. So our cooperation will start again on their farm since 2018. So one of international volunteers work will be helping for farming of the orphanage.
Same time we do run small eco farm in same area to improve the method of eco friendly farm and help to poor families trough our work. During the last years we focused to improve more for the facilities of locals/ volunteers but not farming method and way. So when we look back in this moment our way to do farming and cultivating is not really productive and eco friendly. Even other farmers who doing same work around us are same. Local people work very hard for hall summer but in autumn they got very small harvest compare to their hard work. So since this year we going to develop our farm more as a training farm of eco farming for the local people. Local people could learn at our farm basic but very important ecological farming methods and know/how. We wish to achieve to get biggest amount of harvest, using smallest amount land. Volunteers will work in eco vegetable farm and develop eco farming training farm. Vegetables from the eco farm will be donated to the low income (poor) local families.

Arbeit

SEEDS volunteers will be doing general park maintenance and assisting the horticultural staff tending to the collection of perennials, alpine trees and shrubs in the garden. The garden organises guided tours and events throughout the summer, with which the volunteers may assist in their preparation. These special events are all related to the general aim and work of the garden and some of them are carried out at short notice.
The work can be repetitive as general gardening tasks tend to be and most of it is outdoors. The project starts early every weekday: working hours are from 8:15 - 15:00, except on Fridays, when work finishes at 12:00 as a part of an ongoing research into shortening the working week. Volunteers have to be motivated to start work early in the morning, but in compensation they will have more free time in the afternoon.
No previous experience is necessary, but the work requires patience and good physical condition as it may be tiring. As it is outdoors, volunteers shall be ready to adapt and be flexible with the working and free-time schedule, as depending on the weather, we may not be able to perform some of the tasks or activities planned. Weather is unpredictable and it can be cold and/or rainy, be prepared to experience all kinds of weather. We recommend bringing good walking shoes/boots, warm and/or waterproof clothes (underlayers, overcoats, scarves, gloves and hats).

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

SEEDS volunteers will stay in an equipped house, in a beautiful setting in the Botanical Gardens of Reykjavík, which are located about 4 kilometres from the centre of the city. The facilities are basic with an equipped kitchen, dining and living room, bathrooms, showers and a washing machine. As participants sleep in shared rooms with up to 6 people, everyone is expected to behave considerately. Please bring your own towel. Please note that participants from other projects will be staying in the same house.
Volunteers will receive food supplies and be in charge of the cooking and cleaning activities. Note the food SEEDS provides will be vegetarian. Do not forget to bring some traditional/typical food, drinks, recipes, music or games from your country for the intercultural evening. Be aware some items or ingredients may be expensive in Iceland and you will need to buy them yourselves or bring them from your country.

Mysore, India’s ‘Sandalwood City’ also known as the ‘City of Palaces’ is the cultural capital of the state of Karnataka. For nearly 6 centuries, the kingdom of Mysore was ruled by the Wodeyar dynasty, who were patrons of art and culture. An enlightened dynasty, the Vodeyars contributed significantly to the cultural and economic growth of the city and the state. In Mysore city, an ‘old-world’ ambience prevails. One can almost see the ghosts of years gone by, hear a faint battle-cry, the clash of weapons, or the boom of a cannon.
