VIN s Environmental and Conservation Programs raise community awareness of critical environmental issues and develop effective solutions. VIN runs various ecological projects that aim to conserve, promote, and protect the environment and culture while preventing, mitigating, and controlling water, land, and air pollution to enhance the health, safety, and welfare of current and future generations. We utilize permaculture for sustainable farming and have been teaching and implementing it since 2018. We believe that permaculture plays a vital role in restoring the entire ecosystem Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a major celebration in Nepal, symbolizing the victory of good over evil and the arrival of spring. During this lively festival, people throw colored powders and water to share blessings and celebrate a bountiful harvest. Originally a Hindu tradition, Holi is now celebrated by many, including non-Hindus across South Asia and beyond. The festivities include gathering with family and friends, playing music, and enjoying special foods and drinks. Volunteers help prepare and celebrate the Holi festival in the community.

Arbejde

Your task will be to help the surrounding communities with mowing fields and collecting hay. Sometimes, the fields are on a slope and are difficult to reach with machines. In nearby orchards, you'll be repairing fences and protecting trees from being gnawed away by sheep. You will also take care of rough grazing land, in order to conserve the habitats of endangered plants and animals.
Another task for you will be to pull out small tree saplings from the meadow in order to prevent them spreading in this particular habitat – therefore learning a lot about conservation in the process.
The working tasks are led by a specialist, who can tell you a lot about the local nature and the significance of your work. The Landscape Conservation Association would like to give you some information about relationships within nature so that you can better understand the meaning and implications of your work.

Kost og logi

You will stay in a cozy and large self-catering house of the Naturfreunde in Marzling, 5 km outside of Freising in an idyllic hillside location above the Isar with a view of the Alps, the Franz-Josef-Strauß-Airport and a large sun terrace.You will all sleep together in a dormitory on the 1st floor. The camp leaders can get an extra room if necessary. You must bring your own sleeping bags and sheets.
You cook together. You will be provided with money for shopping. Vegetarian or vegan meals are possible. Please indicate any intolerances when registering.

Beliggenhed og fritid

By bus or with the minibus you will reach Freising in about 20-25 minutes. From there, the S-Bahn train travels to Munich. In Munich you have the opportunity to visit many museums, the English Garden or the famous Munich Hofbrauhaus.
In the area surrounding Munich and in the Alps, you can go hiking and enjoy nature. Due to the close proximity to Hallertau, the largest hop-growing region in the world, there are many typical beer gardens in beautifully preserved villages such as Attenkirchen, Au or Rudelzhausen. You can go swimming in one of the lakes in Freising or in the Freising pool. Furthermore,a trip to Landshut (about 30km away) is also very worthwhile. Landshut has a very beautiful historic old town, as well as the Martinskirche – the tallest brick church tower in the world. You can even plan a visit to Salzburg, a city close to the german border in Austria.

Arbejde

Background: Amphibians are among the most endangered native animal species groups. Of the 20 native amphibian species found in Germany, only 6 species are not endangered according to the current Red List. In some regions, some have already disappeared. In order to preserve these fascinating animals in the long term, habitat protection is no longer sufficient. For this reason, conservation breeding of particularly endangered species is becoming increasingly important. In this way, the species can be preserved in the long term under controlled conditions and also be available as donor populations for reintroduction projects.
Project objective: Construction of an outdoor facility for keeping and breeding endangered amphibian species
For the nature-identical keeping of amphibians, the construction of a spacious outdoor terrarium makes sense. Only in the open air are the animals exposed to the effects of the weather and seasons in the same way as in the wild, but they are protected from their natural enemies. In order to create a near-natural habitat, it is necessary to provide all sub-habitats such as the summer habitat, the reproduction water and a hibernation area. In addition, a species-appropriate design with hiding places, natural vegetation and basking areas is required. The common goal is to build an open-air terrarium of more than 200 m² under expert guidance and to produce the interior furnishings. The interior design is of particular interest. The design for the target species yellow-bellied toad, tree frog and midwife toad must be planned together. The area is then jointly modeled and equipped with typical biotope props. This includes the construction of one or more spawning ponds and a hibernation site as well as the provision of daytime hiding places made of stone layers, dry stone walls, wood piles and rootstocks. These must be placed according to the requirements of the species being cultivated and combined with suitable natural planting. The first inhabitants can be introduced once the enclosure has been successfully established.

Kost og logi

You will be accommodated in a Niedtalhalle, with a kitchen, sufficient sanitary facilities, a large dining area and the gym as a sleeping area.
You cook together. You will be provided with money for shopping. Vegetarian or vegan meals are possible. Please indicate any intolerances when registering.

Arbejde

“Beyond the vineyard: the dry stone heritage” is a camp based on dry stone works, which were declared cultural heritage by UNESCO.
Participants are going to recover a huge stone wall in a vineyard area and also a shepherd's stone hut. They are also going to work in a Civil War trench area in order to make them more accessible to visitors.
Subirats is a rural area with little towns and villages, so the impact is quite big. Participants will meet local people and will collaborate in the conservation of the historical and cultural heritage of the area.
The working hours will be in the mornings from 8 to 13h approx. with a break in the middle of the morning. Work will always be outdoors, but it will be changed in case of extreme climate conditions and volunteers will always work in safe conditions.

The technical tasks are:
- Restoration and maintenance of the dry stone margins between the cores of Ordal and Saint Paul of Ordal. -Restoration and maintenance of the remnants of trenches from the Civil War that are in the same area.
- Restoration of a shepherd's hut located near the Archaeological Jaciment of Subirats.
- Location of dry stone constructions using the Wikipedra portal. -Maintenance Tasks in Saint Paul's Ordal (maintenance of public banks and children's park)
- Build and place nest boxes.

The rest of the time will be for leisure, swimming pool and other activities, and weekends will be organized for visits and others.

Kost og logi

The participants of the work camp will be installed in “ZER Montcau”, a multifunctional space of a school in the center of town, and will have a large patio, toilets and showers (separated boys and girls, with hot water, indoor and shared), a kitchen and the pool by the school.
The participants will sleep in a large room all together in the same space without gender separation, on bunk beds.
The area has high temperatures in summer, so bring cotton and fresh clothes. The hosting organization highly recommends long sleeve shirts and t-shirts for the working hat to protect from the sun. Volunteers will go to the pool by the school.
There will be a catering providing the food for the volunteers and snacks and fruit will be provided during breaks. There are vegetarian/vegan options, also other cultural reasons and any allergy options.

Beliggenhed og fritid

The privileged geographical situation, a plain protected by mountains by the sea, the mild climate of the Mediterranean coast and a permeable land, rich in phosphorus, make the region of El Penedès, the main producer of wines and cavas in Catalonia. This wine history goes back to at least the 4th century B.C.
The vineyard structures are thus a distinctive cultural feature of the area, and they have been refined over time. The Subirats area, halfway between the Vilafranca plain and the Ordal mountains, has steeper terrain than the rest of the region. That is why, in this area, the structure of dry stone walls and constructions, which are necessary for leveling the ground and plotting the vineyards, is quite important.

Leisure activities will be held every day.
A list of the main activities that are in the programme:
- Group games, workshops and cultural activities in order to learn more about Catalan culture and the vineyard tradition in the area.
- Participants will visit cultural and historical areas and museums in Subirats, a wine and champagne factory and also Vilafranca del Penedès, the Catalan's wine capital.
- They will also visit the city of Barcelona, which is only 45 km from the accommodation area.
- You will participate in the rehearsals of a group of “castellers”, learning how catalan human towers are made.

Arbejde

Lohra Castle, with its centuries-old architecture and vast natural surroundings, is not only a site of historical significance but also a living, functioning place that requires continuous care and attention. This workcamp offers volunteers the opportunity to actively contribute to the sustainable management of the castle, ensuring that its grounds remain accessible, welcoming, and well preserved. While this workcamp does not involve hands-on heritage conservation interventions, it plays an equally essential role in the long-term care of the site, allowing future visitors and guests to experience and appreciate Lohra Castle as a harmoniously maintained historic and natural space.
The volunteers will engage in seasonal maintenance tasks, including mowing and collecting overgrown grass, clearing organic material from public areas, and ensuring that the castle’s open spaces remain well-kept. These tasks are crucial for the aesthetic and functional upkeep of the historic ensemble, preserving the visual integrity of the castle and its surroundings. The work also extends to the general maintenance of communal spaces and halls, contributing to the overall experience of visitors who use the castle for cultural events, educational programmes, and retreats. The income generated from these activities is directly reinvested into the castle’s conservation and educational projects, meaning that the work of volunteers directly supports heritage preservation efforts, even if not through conservation itself.
Beyond the practical tasks, the workcamp offers a unique and immersive experience. When the castle closes its doors to the public in the evenings, it becomes the volunteers' home, a place where they can experience the privilege of inhabiting a medieval site. In this way, they take on the role of stewards, caring for the space as if it were their own. The experience encourages a sense of responsibility, ownership, and connection to heritage, reinforcing the idea that heritage sites thrive not only through large-scale restoration projects but also through the daily care and attention given to them by those who value their existence.
The projects of Open Houses are based on sustainable principles, ensuring that Lohra Castle is maintained not just as a historical monument but as a living environment where culture and nature coexist. The castle is surrounded by a vast natural protected area, making its preservation an effort that combines aspects of cultural and natural heritage conservation. Through their contributions, volunteers help safeguard the balance between history and nature, keeping Lohra Castle a welcoming place for future generations of visitors, researchers, and heritage enthusiasts.

Kost og logi

Accommodation at Open Houses projects reflects the organisation’s ethos of simplicity, shared responsibility, and community spirit. Volunteers stay in rustic but fair conditions, often within the historic sites they are helping to maintain. While the facilities are basic, they provide all essential necessities, including shared rooms, communal kitchens, and sanitary facilities. A key aspect of the experience is the collective preparation of meals—participants take turns cooking, introducing dishes from their home countries, and fostering a spirit of camaraderie through shared meals. This collaborative approach strengthens bonds among volunteers, making the experience as much about cultural exchange as it is about practical work. Food is fully provided as part of the programme, ensuring that volunteers do not face additional costs. Importantly, Open Houses does not use the fees participants pay to finance the projects; these funds remain with their sending organisations, reinforcing the programme’s non-commercial and volunteer-driven nature.

Beliggenhed og fritid

Lohra Castle, located in northern Thuringia, Germany, stands as one of the region’s most representative medieval fortifications located in the vicinity of important trade routes that connected the medieval world of central Europe. Though its present form is modest, the castle continues to command a striking position within the hilly landscape near a natural reserve. With a history spanning over a thousand years, the site reflects multiple layers of architectural evolution, shaped by shifting political, economic, and social contexts over the centuries.
The architectural ensemble of Lohra Castle presents a rich assortment of historical styles, with elements dating back to the 11th century. Among its most remarkable features is a Romanesque double-floored chapel from the 12th century, an exceptional structure that highlights early medieval religious architecture. Traces of medieval fortifications and towers, as well as a Renaissance-era manor house, further illustrate the site’s transformation from a medieval defensive stronghold into a more residential and agricultural complex.
Despite its historical significance, Lohra Castle was abandoned for several decades, leading to neglect and structural deterioration. In the 1990s, the site was rediscovered and revitalised through the efforts of Open Houses, which has since used the castle as a base for heritage conservation, cultural initiatives, and international collaboration. Today, it serves as a centre for hands-on restoration projects organised by Open Houses´ daughter organisation European Heritage Volunteers, as well as training courses organised by partner educational institutions, and volunteer-driven maintenance efforts such as this workcamp, welcoming participants from across the world to engage with its unique built heritage.

Arrangeret af

Open Houses. is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation and revitalisation of historic buildings through volunteer-driven initiatives. It emerged from grassroots efforts to restore abandoned heritage sites in East Germany and has since expanded into a European network fostering heritage conservation, cultural exchange, and community engagement.
The organisation believes that heritage should be actively lived, not just preserved as static monuments. By creating open spaces where people from diverse backgrounds can collaborate, Open Houses promotes a participatory approach to heritage conservation. Through international workcamps, training courses, and long-term volunteer programmes, participants engage in hands-on restoration, sustainable site management, and skill-building activities.
Volunteering is at the heart of Open Houses fostering a spirit of collective effort, learning, and cultural exchange. The organisation provides opportunities for individuals of all backgrounds to contribute to meaningful projects, offering hands-on experiences that promote teamwork, self-reliance, and cross-cultural understanding. Through workcamps, mid-term volunteering, and leadership programmes, participants develop practical skills, engage with local communities, and take an active role in maintaining shared spaces. By creating non-commercial, inclusive environments, Open Houses. encourages personal growth, social responsibility, and the strengthening of international networks based on collaboration and mutual respect.
As the parent organisation of European Heritage Volunteers, Open Houses also plays a key role in coordinating conservation projects across Europe, supporting grassroots initiatives, and advocating for heritage as a shared cultural responsibility beyond national borders.

Arbejde

This camp allows volunteers to learn about global and local environmental issues through non-formal activities such as workshops, discussions, presentations and visits, as well as to contribute directly to environment protection by joining outdoor cleanup tasks.

These cleanup tasks may be arranged in partnership with the above mentioned organisations or run solely by SEEDS. We also aim to involve the local community, so some of our events may be open to the public. We hope participants will learn how to plan and carry out their own trash cleaning projects back at home. This project is based on similar activities around the world, where outstanding results have been achieved with volunteers. Volunteers can choose one of the two options below, included as hands-on volunteering activity in the camp:

1. A day trip combining a visit to the Hellisheiði geothermal power plant, a trash collection in the area, and the Hot River Hike, a hike up a valley filled with hot springs where one can bathe.
2. A day trip to the Reykjanes Peninsula, combined with a coastal cleanup in the area.

Please note that all activities are subject to weather conditions and the availability of our partners.

This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun. No previous experience is needed. Volunteers should prepare to share environmental issues from their countries and be ready to spend time outdoors, walking medium to long distances during the cleanups, and during other activities such as sightseeing. Since a part of the project happens outdoors, volunteers should be ready to adapt and be flexible with the work and free-time schedule. Depending on the weather, we may not be able to perform some of the activities as planned.

Kost og logi

SEEDS volunteers stay in a house in Reykjavík. The facilities are basic with an equipped kitchen, dining and living room, bathrooms, showers and a washing machine.

Please 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.
