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

Zhongli District in Taoyuan City was originally a Hakka settlement. In Hakka, the valley is called Li, and the area surrounded by the Laojie River and Xinjie River was called Jianzai. During the Japanese occupation, this area was renamed Zhongli Street, becoming a major thoroughfare connecting the north and south.The area along the Laojie River(32769;34903;28330;) is known as the Old Street Area, preserving Japanese-style architecture, century-old shops, and a rich Hakka culture. The Laojie River itself has profoundly influenced the lifestyle of the local residents. However, with the passage of time, many local youths and immigrants are no longer familiar with the historical background of this area. To protect this unique cultural heritage, we hope to raise awareness and interest in the history of the Zhongli Old Street area, thereby achieving the goal of cultural preservation.Host OrganizationChung Yuan Christian University(20013;21407;22823;23416;), upholding the Christian ideal of universal love, is committed to the development of higher education with unwavering faith, hope, and love. To encourage faculty and students to participate in society with love and expertise and to empower students to apply knowledge in practice through practical learning, the university established the Service Learning Program Office in March 2007. This program was renamed the Service Learning Center in March 2008, aiming to systematically and continuously promote service learning courses and programs. The Center encourages students to participate in community service, fulfill their civic responsibilities, and cultivate the core competencies needed for future employment.In 2019, we expanded our scope of work by taking over the Taoyuan Youth Volunteer Service Center from the Youth Development Administration of the Ministry of Education. Our goal is to create a youth-friendly volunteer service platform in Taoyuan and to collaborate with schools, community groups, and organizations to encourage youth participation in volunteer service and enhance the vitality of youth volunteer services in Taoyuan.Our website65306; https://sl.cycu.edu.twAims:1.To promote cultural exchange between local and international youth, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of the history and culture of Zhongli Old Street.2.To foster exchange between different international cultures and broaden children s global perspectives.Achievements over the past year:1.Since 2017, the Chung Yuan Christian University Service Learning Center has held numerous one-day local cultural experience workshops to help young volunteers gain a deeper understanding of the local culture.2.In 2022, we will focus on the Zhongli Old Town (Laojie District), organizing a three-day, two-night local international workshop centered around three themes: and

Since 2000, volunteers from all over the world have participated in summer programs designed to help improve the vegetable farm at the Childcare Center of Mongolia (Children's Home). 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.

Arbeit

Volunteers will be actively involved in preparing, maintaining, and restoring the spaces that host both the campsite and the CampArt Festival. Their tasks will include cleaning green areas, setting up and organizing communal spaces, and carrying out small maintenance activities such as repainting benches and improving public elements. These actions aim to make the spaces accessible, welcoming, and respectful of the surrounding environment. Volunteers will also support the promotion of the festival by distributing informational materials and engaging with the local community, encouraging participation and connection. At the end of the festival, they will help clean and restore all used areas, ensuring they are left in good condition. Work will take place for about six hours per day under the guidance of local coordinators, promoting teamwork, flexibility, and active participation

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers will stay in tents in a dedicated camping area that will be provided. Toilets and showers will be available on site. A shared kitchen space will be available for basic use, but meals will mainly be provided by a canteen.

Lage und Freizeit

The camp takes place in Petralia Soprana, in the heart of the Madonie mountains (province of Palermo, Sicily). The area is rich in biodiversity, forests, trails, and scenic landscapes, offering an authentic and immersive environment where nature and local culture coexist in balance. The local community involved includes the towns of Petralia Soprana and Petralia Sottana. These are vibrant and welcoming communities where tradition, social ties, and a sense of belonging are still central. The project fits into this context by creating a space for interaction among residents, volunteers, and artists, fostering cultural exchange and active participation. During their free time, volunteers can explore the trails of the Madonie Park, visit the historic villages of Petralia Soprana and Petralia Sottana, participate in spontaneous artistic and musical events, take part in group activities, and enjoy the surrounding nature.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The workcamp is organized by Lunaria in collaboration with CampArt, an independent arts festival. CampArt Festival began as an artistic initiative launched by a group of students united by the aim of creating a shared space where creative expression and community life could coexist. From its very inception, the project has been conceived not merely as a cultural event, but as a collective experience in which art intertwines with nature and human relationships. CampArt takes place in the Madonie area in Sicily and was created to offer a free, self-managed cultural space.

The volunteer camp supports both the preparation and promotion of the CampArt Festival, responding to local needs for cultural initiatives that respect and enhance the surrounding territory.
The project aims to strengthen the relationship between the festival and the local communities of Petralia Soprana and Petralia Sottana, encouraging participation, intercultural exchange, and a shared sense of responsibility. Volunteers become part of a temporary community grounded in collaboration, sustainability, and collective experience. Through their involvement, they actively contribute to both the organization of the festival and the life of the community it generates. By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: 10. Reduced Inequalities – Reduce inequality within and among countries; 11. Sustainable Cities and Communities- Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable

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.

ProjectThis project is organized for local children by The Language School In Down-Town and the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite (ALPS) as part of their annual activities on multicultural issues for youth. Some international teenage participants may join. The common project s aim is to introduce the diversity of world cultures to children and provide them with good practices in intercultural communication using the learning-by-doing method and organizing alternative English language practice. The project gets youngsters familiar with customs and traditions of the countries from all over the world and encourages them to develop their cross-cultural thinking and tolerance as well as global thinking and individual initiative. This summer we offer you to participate in our project called LANDSCAPES . We invite volunteers to support our camp participants learning about a new trend of ecosystems in nature, society, technologies, economy, politics and human relationships. Together, we plan to find out how these complex deeply interwoven ecosystems shape the way we live, learn and thrive, and what those competences are that empower humans to understand, navigate, and positively influence them. Camp participants will try to develop their strategies for a holistic, interconnected view of the world and gain ideas on how not just to survive in a complex world - but to help reshape it toward greater justice, sustainability, and flourishing for all 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.NB It is possible and you are welcome to apply for 2 shifts in a row EST DT1 EST DT2 or EST DT3 EST DT4
