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

Participating in the everyday life of the Centre, mainly giving a hand with the maintenance of the place (cooking, doing the laundry, cleaning, helping with the carpentry or gardening on a rotating basis, etc.). Personal care of residents who might need it (such as helping out to get dressed) is also a possible task, but only if you really feel prepared for doing it.
An important part of your stay will be socialising with the community of the centre. The presence of international volunteers in the centre brings "fresh air" to the limited social life of its residents. They will be curious about your country and your culture. It is a good idea to bring photos, music or any material which might enable you to present yourself and where you are coming from. It will be rare for them to speak other languages than Spanish. Therefore good knowledge of it is very recommended.
You have to take into account that you will be living in a therapeutic community. Following the guidelines that will be given at the beginning of the workcamp (such as those concerning timetable, punctuality, relationship among residents and volunteers, telephone calls, not smoking or drinking...) is an essential part of the therapeutic approach. BASIDA kindly requests you to do so. A team of professionals will be always there to back you up. Do not hesitate to ask them for advice. We count on your understanding and sensibility.

A workshop on drugs and HIV, socio-medical approach: “Course on Comprehensive care for people in social exclusion”, is organised during the first week.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

In the Centre there are rooms with beds for the volunteers. Meals will be taken with the residents in the common dining-room. There is also an outdoor swimming-pool and other sport facilities.

Lage und Freizeit

Trips to Aranjuez (a nice historical town), Toledo and Madrid will be possible one day in the week.
Though the agenda will be very busy, you will certainly have every day a bit of time for yourself and surely on Sundays.

Since the residents have limited permission to leave the Centre for recreational purposes, you would prove your solidarity towards them to check with the Director when it is more convenient to leave the Centre.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

BASIDA is an NGO that provides medical and psychosocial support to HIV-positives, drug addicted people and others with special needs. Since 1990, it has opened three centres; all of them run by a multi-professional voluntary staff. One of these three centres is located in Aranjuez, a village located in Madrid County.

The physical and psychological recovery as well as the social rehabilitation of Basida residents are being achieved thanks to close teamwork focused on proving to them that someone really cares for them. The Basida team tries to help those attending the centre, who for a long time have only experienced social exclusion, to regain hope and self-esteem.
For more information you can take a look at BASIDA´s web page: www.basida.org.
Precisely this camp has already taken place a few times. The experience has been very positive for everyone.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

On August 16 at Navahondilla bus stop at 19.00 o'clock, we will pick you up from there.

Anforderungen

Mental Health: Given the high-pressure emotional environment and the vulnerability of the residents, this project may not be suitable for individuals currently dealing with severe psychological conditions or those requiring highly stable/flexible environments.

Spanish Language: A medium level of Spanish is highly recommended as it is the main language for social integration with residents not required.

Motivation: A motivation letter or a short interview may be requested to ensure the volunteer’s profile aligns with the therapeutic goals of the centre.

At the terminal, you can buy a ticket to get to Atlixco, which costs approximately 40 to 60 pesos. The vans or minibuses that go to Tochimilco leave from an area near the center of Atlixco, mainly around Dr. Luis Sánchez Domínguez Street at the corner with 11 Sur, near the former factory known as "La Concha." Another practical option if you can't find a direct van or bus is to take a taxi or app-based service (Uber, Didi) from the center of Atlixco. This will take you directly to Tochimilco and costs approximately $240-$300.

ProjectInternational language camp is organized for teenagers by The Language School In Down-Town and the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite (ALP S) as part of their annual activities on multicultural issues for youth. The project s aim is to introduce the diversity of world cultures to the youth and provide them with good practices in intercultural communication by means of alternative English language practice which includes meetings, visits, contacts to young people from abroad. The project gets teens of 14 to 16 years old familiar with national traditions of the countries from all over the world, encourages them to develop their global thinking and individual initiative, tolerance and resistance to xenophobia and ethnic hatred. Camps give foreign participants a great chance to meet youngsters both from Estonia and other countries as well as to experience local life. This summer we offer you to participate in our project called LANDSCAPES . We invite you to explore ecosystems that shape the way we live, learn and thrive in the domains of nature, society, technologies, economy, politics and human relationships. Together, we will try to develop working strategies for a holistic, interconnected view of the world such as seeing connections between parts of a whole, co-evolution or understanding unintended consequences. Camp participants will learn to build supportive peer networks and naturally integrate individual aims into existing ecosystems, manage change for alternative future and take initiative, influence synergetic loops and utilize personal progress for mutual sustained prosperity. We hope you will gain ideas on how not just to survive in a complex world of various ecosystems - but to help reshape it toward greater justice and flourishing 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.

Note that this is a learning/sharing camp and not a regular workcamp; this project has a smaller volunteer work part and emphasises the personal learning process over the community impact. We may be able to organise some outdoor voluntary work, but it depends on our partners and the weather conditions.
Participants will have time to put the theory about photography into practice, exploring the city. At the end of the camp, the best photographs from each participant will be selected for an online exhibition on SEEDS' social media. Participants should bring their own digital cameras, lenses, tripods, and laptops, if possible. While learning about photography, the participants have the opportunity to explore Icelandic culture through active participation: capturing it, engaging with it, and showcasing their work throughout the camp. One of our goals is to empower young people to use photography to highlight environmental and cultural subjects and issues.
Participants should be ready to spend time outdoors walking medium to long distances during activities and working within a flexible schedule. Participants will be photographing in their free time outside of workshop hours with images to be discussed at group feedback sessions.
This camp is open to participants aged 16 to 20. During their stay, SEEDS organises a programme that combines learning, sharing, getting to know Iceland and its culture, and having fun while exploring the city and some of the most stunning natural attractions in the Golden Circle and the Hot River hike excursions.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

SEEDS participants will stay in a house in Reykjavík. 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.
Participants 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.

Arbeit

“Youth for Smile”, in partnership with a local NGO, is revitalising the former orphanage building in Lauderi village and transforming it into a centre for non-formal education and community activities.
Volunteers play a key role in this transformation. Through practical work and shared initiative, you will help prepare the territory and the building for its new purpose.
Your Tasks and Activities
Outdoor Area Maintenance (approx. 4 hectares)
The area surrounding the former orphanage is about 4 hectares large. Volunteers will help:
Mow the grass
Clear bushes and overgrown areas
Clean and organise the territory
This work is essential to make the area safe, accessible, and ready for future community use.
Building Preparation
Inside the building, volunteers will assist with:

Dismantling damaged interior finishing (such as wall panels or other worn elements)
Clearing debris
Preparing rooms for future renovation works
This is preparatory work — the goal is to create clean and ready spaces for the next phase of reconstruction.
Community Engagement
The local community is currently not very active, and hosting international volunteers is also a new experience for them. One of our aims is to gently encourage the start of dialogue and cooperation.
Together with volunteers, we will take the first steps toward building communication with local residents — through small meetings, informal conversations, and shared moments. This is an important social aspect of the project, alongside the physical renovation work.
This workcamp is not only about practical tasks, but also about creating connections — with the place, with its history, and with the people who live there.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Accommodation
Volunteers will stay in a rural house close to the project site. Beds will be provided, but living conditions are simple and basic. The accommodation reflects the rural environment and offers an authentic experience close to nature.
Please be prepared for modest comfort and a shared living space. This is part of the experience of simple and environmentally conscious living.
As the project promotes sustainability, volunteers are strongly encouraged to use environmentally friendly personal hygiene products (biodegradable soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.). Through daily practice, we aim to integrate eco-friendly habits into everyday life.
Food and Cooking
Meals will be prepared by the volunteers themselves in a shared kitchen. Cooking will be organised in small teams, encouraging cooperation, responsibility, and teamwork.
This is also an opportunity to exchange recipes, learn about different food cultures, and enjoy time together beyond the working hours.
During the camp, we will organise an International Evening. Volunteers are kindly asked to bring some traditional or typical food (or small items/ingredients) from their home country to share with the group.
Living conditions are basic, but the experience offers closeness to nature, community spirit, and shared responsibility — all essential elements of this workcamp.

Lage und Freizeit

The project takes place in Lauderi village, located in Ludza municipality in Eastern Latvia. The area is rural, peaceful, and surrounded by forests and natural landscapes. It is a good place to experience quiet countryside life and nature.
During free time, volunteers can explore the surrounding area, go for walks, and enjoy the calm environment. There are also opportunities to visit nearby towns and historical places in the region.
Life in a small village allows volunteers to meet local residents and learn about their daily life and traditions.
Volunteers will plan their free-time activities together as a group. This can include small excursions, cultural visits, outdoor activities, or simply relaxing in nature.

This location offers a simple and authentic rural experience, with time for both exploration and community life.
