Join the Lyukóvölgy summer camp and help create unforgettable experiences for children aged 6 to 18! Be part of an international volunteer team that makes a real difference in their lives. As a volunteer, you can teach English, lead games and sports activities, and, most importantly, bring confidence, trust, and joy to the children. The camp starts each day between 8:00 and 8:30 when the children arrive. The morning kicks off with group exercise or dance at 9:00, followed by an hour of sports—ping pong, football, badminton, or any activity you enjoy leading. From 11:00 to 13:00, thematic workshops focus on career orientation (sharing your studies and work experience) and healthy living. Around 30 children participate daily. The official program ends with a shared lunch at 13:00, but your involvement doesn’t have to stop there. You can help with learning, play with younger kids, organize activities for teens, or even join a herb-collecting trip!

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The project is co-financed by the European Union through the European Solidarity Corps program, and there is no participation fee. All volunteers will be accommodated in Miskolc at the Martin Luther King Dormitory, a student residence dedicated to disadvantaged youth. We provide three meals a day: breakfast at the dormitory, a communal outdoor-cooked lunch at the learning center, and additional pocket money for dinner. A vegetarian option may be available, but unfortunately, a vegan diet cannot be accommodated. Each volunteer will receive a daily allowance of 7 EUR. At the end of the project, travel costs to the project location will be reimbursed based on the travel distance. All necessary equipment for the tasks will be provided.

Lage und Freizeit

Miskolc is a vibrant city rich in cultural and natural treasures, located in the northeastern part of Hungary at the foot of the Bükk Mountains. The town is an ideal location for hiking and cultural exploration. Landmarks such as the Diósgyőr Castle and the Miskolctapolca Cave Bath offer unforgettable experiences. Local communities and organizations warmly welcome international volunteers to work together on beautifying the city. During the program, participants also have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Hungarian culture and traditions.

Arbeit

Immerse yourself in history by taking part in a unique archaeological research project at the citadel of Doullens! Your mission will be to clear a mound of earth blocking access to an unexplored underground passage. Using careful excavation techniques, you will dig and sift through each layer of soil, searching for historical artifacts and hidden remnants of the past. This workcamp is a true archaeological adventure, offering the chance to uncover long-buried secrets of this remarkable site.
Come and visit this area where JRR Tolkien lived and got inspired to create his worldly known universe of Lord of the Rings.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be accommodated in individual tents within one of the citadel’s gardens, a unique and historic setting. A former jail will serve as a communal living space, providing a dining area and a sheltered retreat in case of bad weather. Sanitary facilities will be available in an annex building, while showers will be accessible at the town’s gym, a 15-minute walk from the campsite.

Collective living will be at the heart of this experience: you will share daily tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be managed by the animation team for grocery shopping, and you will be encouraged to use fresh, local, and seasonal products for healthy, mainly vegetarian and delicious meals.

Lage und Freizeit

Doullens is located in the northern part of the Somme, at the crossroads between Amiens, Arras, and Abbeville. This strategic position places it within easy reach of historical and cultural landmarks, including the stunning Gothic cathedral of Amiens, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the vibrant city of Arras, known for its beautiful squares and underground tunnels.

Surrounded by picturesque countryside, Doullens offers a peaceful setting perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking and exploring the region’s rich history. Volunteers will have the opportunity to visit nearby sites like the Baie de Somme, one of France’s most breathtaking natural reserves, Samara archeological parc or explore the remnants of World War I battlefields. During the summer, local events, markets, and cultural festivities will add to the experience. With the support of the team, outings and activities will be organized to fully enjoy the region’s heritage, nature, and warm community atmosphere.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

After a first collaboration in 2019 on the archaeological site of Samara, the EPCC of the Somme has decided to renew our partnership for an exciting new project: the exploration and enhancement of the underground tunnels of the Doullens citadel. This initiative reflects a shared commitment to preserving and showcasing historical heritage while engaging young international volunteers in a mission of discovery and cultural transmission.

The city of Doullens and the EPCC are fully dedicated to welcoming volunteers and will ensure a friendly and enriching experience. Many interactions with locals and community members are planned, providing a deep immersion into the region’s culture and history.

Arbeit

During this workcamp, you'll contribute to the construction and installation of collective com-post bins. The work will involve laying out the space, assembling the compost bins using re-cycled materials, installing a ventilation system, and defining composting rules. You'll also take part in collecting the first organic waste to start composting. It's a great opportunity to make a concrete commitment to the environment! 25h/week

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The workcamp will take place in a particularly isolated area, where you will be accommodat-ed on the REV site in a collective tent (remember to bring your sleeping bag). You will have access to sanitary facilities close to the camp. What's more, if weather conditions deteriorate too much for camping, we'll set up a permanent camp for the duration of the bad weather. Meals will be provided by the REV and cooked in turn by the participants.

Lage und Freizeit

The workcamp will take place on the REV's permanent site, a former vacation camp at an altitude of 1,200m. The site is located at the foot of Mont-Lozère (department 48) in the heart of the Cévennes. The REV took over the site in the spring of 2022 and hopes to turn it into a place of welcome, exchange and encounter. This project will be part of the transformation of the colony into a socio-cultural living space. Shaped by erosion, this territory is criss-crossed by several watercourses, geological formations such as the causes and numerous forests of many species. A wide variety of flora and fauna have been preserved here thanks to the low human density of recent centuries. The nearest town is Mende, with 16,000 inhabitants.

Far from the French metropolises, Lozère is nonetheless a very dynamic region. The region's activities revolve around local festivities, concerts and unspoilt natural areas (mountains, riv-ers, forests).

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

You'll help assemble the composts, organize the spaces and set up the first com-posting rules. It's an opportunity to help reduce waste and improve the association's local en-vironment.

The work tasks will include mowing and raking grass, carrying things, setting up tents, tables and benches, cleaning, cooking, baking, frying, accompanying people with disabilities at work and in their free time, attending community meetings, selling products, making banners or doing face painting.

The area consists of historically significant buildings, which Benediktus reconstructs and uses for activities such as housing, work and cultural activities. The complex has a timbered fruit dryer, orchard and vegetable garden. Everywhere in the village there is good phone coverage, nevertheless, the village is small so there are no services such as ATMs or pharmacies.

In the area of Benediktus it is also possible to play sports.

Study part: As part of the pilgrimage, there will be a meeting with the general public and the volunteers will have the opportunity to present their culture, either in the form of theatre, fun games for children or making typical food. Other Czech and foreign volunteers also take part in the pilgrimage, with whom there will be an opportunity not only to work but also to spend free time together. During the project, volunteers have a unique opportunity to learn about the life and work of people with and without disabilities in the L'Arche community.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Lage und Freizeit

The Zuid-Limburgse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (South Limburg Steam Train Company) or ZLSM is a heritage railway operating from its main station of Simpelveld to Schin op Geul and Kerkrade in the south of the Netherlands. It also runs across the border from Simpelveld to Aachen-Vetschau and has an extensive collection of stock.
The construction of the original Miljoenenlijn, as a part of the total railway trajectory in the south of Limburg, started in 1925 and was carried out by the Spoorwegbouwbedrijf from Utrecht, a subsidiary of the NS. Construction was difficult and expensive due to constant threat of subsidence due to mining. The railway line between Kerkrade and Simpelveld will be 18 meters below ground level. To this day, the Miljoenenlijn is a railway monument of great cultural-historical value that still appeals to the imagination.
Volunteers will discuss the recrational program together with camp leaders and the host organisation. For example, they can explore the area by bike, go swimming, visit cities like Simpelveld, Maastricht, Aachen. Volunteers have free use of the train in the south of Limburg.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

In the summer of 2025, SIW will organise two two-week periods in which 24 young people from Europe and neighbouring countries will contribute together to the maintenance of the historic Miljoenenlijn, with a focus on both the railway and the station and the nature around the railway. This project offers the participants the opportunity to develop their practical skills in historical railway maintenance, nature management and restoration, while at the same time gaining intercultural experiences. The project contributes to the mission of the European Solidarity Corps by promoting solidarity and cooperation across borders. It supports young people in their personal development and helps them to make an impact on the local community and the preservation of cultural heritage. In this way, SIW wants to offer participants an intercultural experience in line with our slogan: Discover your impact abroad!

Arbeit

In the heart of this charming village in Haute-Saône, there is a boundary wall that surrounds a public building. In many places, the joints are badly damaged, or even non-existent. The current appearance is unappealing, and the loose stones pose a risk to passersby. The local community would like to restore and secure this built heritage, which is located in a high-traffic area. Your task will be to restore and standardize the wall through specific steps, working approximately 6 hours per day. You will learn traditional masonry techniques. You will work as part of a team and, at the same time, participate in collective tasks such as cooking, cleaning, dishwashing, activities with the local population,etc,

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be accommodated in a mixed-gender shared space in a large municipal building reserved for your group (maximum 14 people). Two rooms will serve as dormitories where you will sleep on camp beds. You only need to bring your sleeping bag and pillow. The place is equipped with a kitchen. Showers will be taken at the gymnasium of the village. A washing machine will also be available. Free Wi-Fi is available at the local tourist office, which is adjacent to your accommodation.
The worksite is just a few steps away, located across the street. For other travel needs, the local population will be happy to assist you with shopping or visiting the surrounding areas.
Accompanied by the leaders, you will prepare the menus based on a budget (about 5€ per day per person) and take turns cooking the meals daily. Vegetarian/vegan options will be available. Often, in these projects, you are invited to eat with local residents, another way to discover regional culinary specialties while sharing meaningful moments together.

Lage und Freizeit

The commune of Faucogney-et-la-mer (70310) is located 50 km from Vesoul (70000) and 20 km from Lure (70200) in Haute-Saône.

Arbeit

You will work in the monastery forest of Maulbronn Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the early Middle Ages, Cistercian monks built an extensive network of drainage and irrigation ditches, ponds and lakes here. The aim was to ensure sufficient water all year round for drinking, milling, farming and fish farming. Large parts of this system are still preserved. Today, they are not only part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, but also a nature reserve, as a very special place for biodiversity has developed here over the centuries.

A variety of interesting tasks await you at this famed site. Your support is needed for:
+ Ditch maintenance: Where necessary, the ditches are made functional again. This involves removing obstacles to drainage and disturbing vegetation. Stones, soil and sediment are removed to restore the ditch bed to its historical state.
+ Construction of leaf rakes: The ditch system has been crossed by connecting paths since the beginning of its construction. The flotsam of the water-bearing ditches, consisting of brushwood and leaves, can lead to blockages in front of the culverts and prevent the flow of water. The accumulated water then flows over the paths and causes great damage. This is remedied by so-called leaf rakes made of oak wood, which are installed in the ditches upstream of the culvert. In several places, you will replace defective leaf rakes with new ones made from local oak wood.
+ Inventory and documentation: While the location of the ditches is well documented using a La-serscan aerial survey, there is a lack of data on their current condition. All maintenance measures are therefore documented and the permeability of the watercourse described (major obstacles). In particular, the risk of incipient erosion at dams and the like is recorded.
+ Repair of dams: The Cistercians changed the natural flow direction not only by means of ditches, but also by building smaller dams. Some of these are damaged and are being repaired. For this purpose, earth has to be brought into the existing outlets by hand and compacted.

The work will be supervised by two forest workers. All the different tasks are coordinated with both the environmental protection authority and the heritage protection authority.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will stay in a hikers' lodge in a neighbourhood of Maulbronn also used for youth activities. In the house you will find everything what you need for your stay - several dormitories with beds, showers, toilets and a kitchen. Please bring your own sleeping bag (and pillow if required)!

The hikers' lodge is isolated in a forest clearing. So you will have perfect opportunities to enjoy living in nature, make a campfire and watch the stars at night. Your accommodation is 7km from the worksite; you will be taken there every morning with two mini-busses.

Your group of volunteers will be responsible for grocery shopping and cooking together. The food will be bought with the camp budget and everybody will take turns for cooking, washing the dishes and cleaning. In order to reduce our carbon footprint on the planet, we encourage volunteers to reduce meat and try more sustainable dishes.

Lage und Freizeit

Maulbronn is a town in the district of Karlsruhe, in Baden-Wurttemberg. The town is famous for its monastery, of which visitors can take a guided tour.

The area of Maulbronn is very rural with a nice mixture of forests, fruit orchards and vineyards. There are many hiking or biking trails. As different local initiatives are involved in the project there will be shared activities and parties with locals and they will be happy to show the most interesting places of the area.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Different partners are involved in this project: an association of active citizens and several forest, nature conservation and heritage conservation authorities.

For kids, youth, families and senior citizens - be ready for a colourful mix of tasks. The whole village of Mötzingen will benefit from your work. The focus will be on care and maintenance work on the large leisure area for all generations.

You will maintain and renew play equipment, restore the sports facilities such as the two beach volleyball courts or the boccia court, create benches and picnic areas and much more. There is plenty to do on the huge site, you will be sawing, painting, hammering, drilling, shovelling, mowing.... The work will be supervised by community workers and local volunteers.

Other smaller projects in the area of landscape maintenance and public green spaces will complement your tasks. You will probably also be able to support holiday activities for children in Mötzingen on individual days, but this is not yet entirely clear.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will stay in a building of the municipality, which until June is still home to the ‘Villa Pusteblume’ kindergarten. Here you will find everything you need for everyday life, a small kitchen, space to sleep and chill out, a small outdoor area and sanitary facilities with a shower. If required, additional showers can be used in the neighbouring fire station. Of course, you can also enjoy the leisure area yourself, which is only a few metres away.

Please bring your own sleeping bag and pillow (if required). Your group of volunteers will be responsible for grocery shopping and cooking together. The food will be bought with the camp budget and everybody will take turns for cooking, washing the dishes and cleaning. In order to reduce our carbon footprint on the planet, we encourage volunteers to reduce meat and try more sustainable dishes.

Lage und Freizeit

Mötzingen is an up-and-coming municipality with just under 4,000 inhabitants between Stuttgart and the Black Forest. Many young families move here to combine a life in the countryside with a good infrastructure and work in the industrial region of Stuttgart.

Mötzingen itself has everything you need for your daily needs: a supermarket, other shops, a pharmacy, schools, a library, a youth club and many leisure activities. The neighbouring towns of Nagold and Herrenberg with their historic old towns are well worth a visit.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Become part of the first international volunteering project in Mötzingen - your support is urgently needed!

Many local volunteers have built together with the municipality a large recreational area for all generations: The citizens are proud of it and it is very well used by children, young people, families and local associations. It is a place to be outside, meet up and have fun. On the grounds you will find a barbecue hut, a great adventure playground with a rope net pyramid, pirate ship, slide tower with tube slide, a football pitch, two beach volleyball courts, a small playing field with a synthetic surface, two beach volleyball courts, a mud area for small children, a chess field, a table tennis table and a boccia court.

However, maintaining the large facility is more time-consuming than previously thought. That's why everyone is looking forward to your international support. Other tasks for and with children, young people, families and senior citizens in Mötzingen will complement the project. In addition to the work, the international dimension is an important motivation for the project - be prepared for a lot of exchange and immerse yourself in the everyday life of a German village.

The work begins with clearing the site of brushwood, carefully observing and reading the parts of the wall in the traditional way that are in good condition here. You'll then work on removing the remaining parts, enabling you to start reassembling the wall in the traditional dry-stone manner. A local expert will guide you in your choice of stones and teach you how to position them correctly on the wall. Each day, two members of the group will take turns preparing meals for the team; the menu will be defined in advance. You'll work on the sites during the mornings from Monday to Friday.
Generally speaking, the work involves dry stone, preparing tools and meals, as well as organizing and setting up collective life.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be accommodated in individual tents at a campsite close to the site. The site will be equipped with a large tent that will house the kitchen as well as the group's collective meeting place during the stay. You will have access to sanitary facilities and Wi-Fi.
Here, we take care with our food to reduce our environmental impact: we eat local as much as possible and reduce our meat consumption to twice a week. Daily life is organized collectively: menus (vegetarian, vegan diets, etc.), shopping, activities, and so on. We organize outings to run errands, where necessary, using the vehicles provided on site.

Lage und Freizeit

The construction site is set a few kilometers from the accommodation site, which can be reached on foot or by shuttle bus.
We invite you to take advantage of Orpierre's natural environment. Wandering in the narrow streets of the old village, enjoying the easily accessible bathing spots, such as the Méouge or Riou gorges.
You will be the protagonists of your stay: you will organize your own free time and benefit from the support of an entertaining team. In the afternoons, we will offer you workshops and discussions on well-being.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Come and have fun in the village of Orpierre, world-famous for its rock climbing!
Set in a remarkable natural environment, the village stands between an impressive cliff and the Céans River. Opposite the village, in the valley on the other bank of the river, you'll find the gardens, a natural space where you can relax and cool off in summer.
Here, the vigor of the tree roots, time, and the weather have cleared away the dry-stone wall characteristic of this site. Would you like to join us in putting everything back in place? We're going to learn and experiment with the traditional dry-stone construction technique. For several years now, in partnership with the commune of Orpierre, the association Les Villages des Jeunes has been working to bring to life, maintain, and promote dry-stone work in the area through international work camps.

Arbeit

Castle Vaeshartelt has a vast area with forests and gardens. The woods and gardens need restoration and maintenance. A significant portion of the work will involve clearing and pruning vegetation along designated pathways and within the grounds of the forest. This will ensure that plant growth does not obstruct walkways or cause damage to buildings or infrastructure. The work will also contribute to the preservation of historical landscape elements in the forest. Volunteers will help restore these natural and historical elements through active involvement in landscape care and heritage preservation. Volunteers will discuss the recreational program together with the camp leaders. For example they can explore the area by bike, go swimming, visit the city of Maastricht, Valkenburg or the crossroad of the three countries.
Next to forest maintenance, the restructuring and maintenance of the many gardens of the Buitenplaats will be the majority of the work. There are gardens for fruit, low tree and high tree gardens, small fruit gardens for strawberries, rasp berries and blackberries, a vineyard, mush room cultivation and so on. Tasks for the gardens will be to improved the outlook of the gardens and also the optimize the fruit production of the gardens as well. You will learn a lot about gardening an fruit production, to be come a more professional ‘castle’ gardener.
Part of the work is the circular approach converting green waste from the garden maintenance into compost, to be used as fertilizer for the gardens.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The accomodationis in one of the side castles like like Delbrock or Kanjel. At these locations sanitary facilities are present. Airbeds are available. You have to bring your own sleeping bag.
The food will be provided by the Castle Vaeshartelt restaurant. There are opportunities to have dislocated bbq's, which have to be organised by the volunteers.

Lage und Freizeit

Buitenplaats Vaeshartelt is a historically rich and unique landscape due to its deep historical roots and diverse transformations. From its Roman origins as a key traffic hub, to its role as a fortress in the time of Charlemagne, the estate evolved through medieval times and became a symbol of aristocratic and intellectual life in the 17th to 19th centuries. The creation of Buitenplaats Vaeshartelt as a monumental estate, with gardens, buildings, and nature forming a harmonious whole, is characteristic of the Dutch outdoor estates built by wealthy townspeople to escape urban hardships.
Volunteers will discuss the recrational program together with camp leaders and the host organisation. For example, they can explore the area by bike,provided by the castle, go swimming, visit cities like Maastricht, Valkenburg or three-country point.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

In the summer of 2025, SIW International Volunteer Projects will organize three two-week activities for 14 young people from Europe and neighboring countries in particular to renovate and maintain the Vaeshartelt country estate and in particular the various gardens, including vegetable gardens, vineyard, orchards, mushroom farm and associated forest area. SIW wants to give international young people the opportunity to get acquainted with this historic estate and let them contribute to its sustainable maintenance. In this way, SIW wants to offer participants an intercultural experience in line with our slogan Discover your impact abroad!

Arbeit

Welcome to Dannes, a village nestled between the sea and the forest, where you will take part in a unique project in the heart of Mont Saint-Frieux, an exceptional natural site shaped by wind and time. This workcamp will immerse you in the preservation of this fragile environment as you help maintain the dunes and the surrounding forest.
Your mission: combat invasive plant species to protect local biodiversity, restore and maintain hiking trails so visitors can fully enjoy the site, and carry out landscape improvements to reduce erosion and safeguard this natural area. You will learn various ecological maintenance techniques alongside professionals dedicated to protecting coastal landscapes.
Fully immersed in this stunning setting, you will actively contribute to the preservation of a precious natural heritage while enjoying the proximity to the beach and the surrounding wilderness. This is a great opportunity to combine environmental commitment, discovery, and unforgettable encounters!

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be accommodated in individual tents in the park of the former château of Dannes, just a few meters from the beach. One of the château’s rooms will serve as a communal living space. Sanitary facilities will be available on-site, though without hot water, while showers will be accessible at the town’s stadium, a 10-minute walk away. You will share daily collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the camp leaders, and you will take part in grocery shopping, prioritizing healthy and local products.

Lage und Freizeit

Dannes (2,000 inhabitants) is located in the Pas-de-Calais department, in the Hauts-de-France region. Situated near the Boulogne urban area, it is easily accessible by public transport. The region boasts a rich historical heritage, which you can explore nearby: the stunning Bay of Somme, various coastal forts, and the crypt of the Notre-Dame Basilica, among other sites. Numerous hikes will be offered on the mountain slopes, along with opportunities to discover the local fauna and flora.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

The EDEN 62 association is a long-standing partner of Concordia, committed to the preservation and enhancement of natural spaces in the Pas-de-Calais region. In 2019, we collaborated with them to carry out the first European Solidarity Corps (ESC) team project, an innovative and enriching experience. Today, we are renewing this partnership to relaunch the dynamics of international workcamps together, with a spirit of cooperation and knowledge sharing.
As a key player in environmental protection, EDEN 62 works to safeguard local biodiversity through the maintenance of sensitive natural areas, public awareness campaigns, and the organization of concrete actions on the ground. Their commitment to sharing, environmental education, and the preservation of natural heritage aligns perfectly with the values of Concordia. This project marks the return of a valuable collaboration, with the shared ambition to combine environmental action, intercultural exchange, and civic engagement.

Arbeit

Come and discover Toulouse, the Ville Rose, from a different angle. In partnership with the association Un Œil Sur Ma Ville, you will restore part of the collective memory of a district of the city. For two weeks, you will meet the inhabitants with the aim of collecting local memory: finding old documents, collecting their words and creating audio, visual, pictorial content... You will be able to give free rein to your creativity to create content from your finds. During the heritage and matrimony days, you will be asked to present your finds to the local inhabitants.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will sleep in individual tents (provided by Concordia) with access to sanitary facilities, showers, and a kitchen. Everyone will take turns preparing meals and managing the living space (organizing schedules, cleaning, shopping, etc.). Tasks will be shared collectively, and meals will be prepared together (mainly vegetarian). A budget will be allocated to the team leaders, and you will participate in grocery shopping, prioritizing healthy and locally sourced products. For your comfort, a washing machine will be available on site, and there will be access to Wi-Fi.

Lage und Freizeit

Toulouse, the city of aeronautics and its famous red-brick charm, offers an unforgettable experience! In July, the city comes alive under blue skies and warm summer weather. You’ll have time to wander through the historic streets, relax along the Garonne River after a day of work, or enjoy the friendly atmosphere of its café-lined squares. Don’t miss the iconic Place du Capitole, the vibrant local markets, and of course, a taste of traditional Toulouse cuisine — especially the legendary cassoulet! You’ll also have the chance to explore the city’s parks and gardens, perfect for a stroll or a picnic with the group.
