Work

Volunteers work with the region's local youth and the festival professional staff (about 200 volunteers) to set up the performance halls, ensure stewardship during the festival, help with the organization, and finally re-arrange the site at the end of the festival. The festival takes place on the weekend, and the volunteers will work for 8 days, having 3 days off at the beginning and at the end of the project.

Volunteers will sleep in a cottage in Chiny (sleeping bags are needed). Transportation to the workplace is provided by the festival's organization. The Youth House staff is does the shopping. Every day, volunteers will choose and cook their own morning and evening meals. At lunchtime, meals will be prepared and shared with the staff and other festival volunteers. If the volunteers have specific diets (halal, vegetarian), it is important to specify this when registering for the project.

Location and leisure

Chiny is a small town located in Wallonia, in the province of Luxembourg (French-speaking region of Belgium), near the French border (South of Belgium). Various outdoor activities are possible (kayaking on the Semois River, hiking, visiting the Bouillon Castle, and the Abbey of Orval).

Project hosted by

The Chiny Youth Centre aims at the socio-cultural development of its region by offering young people various exchange-related, leisure, and discovery activities.

Work

La ville de Saint-Mihiel organise des chantiers de bénévoles pour restaurer des murs et murets en pierre-sèche, qui ont été reconstruits trop vite et peu durablement après les Guerres Mondiales. Pourtant, ils font le charme de la ville et représentent aussi des refuges importants pour la biodiversité (insectes et oiseaux viennent s'y installer). Aujourd'hui, l'ensemble est inscrit au titre de zone naturelle d'intérêt écologique et sa protection est assurée par l'Etat.
La mission consiste à restaurer les murs et murets de la Promenade des Capucins, au nord de Saint-Mihiel, afin de leur redonner leur aspect originel et sécuriser les chemins. Sur les murs maçonnés, les bénévoles devront enlever l'ancien mortier, réparer fissures et trous, et appliquer un nouvel enduit à la chaux. Ils rehausseront les murs et poseront des couvertines (enduit ou tuiles) qui permettront de protéger durablement les murs. Pour les murs en pierre-sèche, il faudra démonter et trier les pierres, parfois les retailler, et surtout les assembler avec soin en vérifiant leur stabilité. Le travail se fera en équipe, guidé par un professionnel qui transmettra les techniques traditionnelles de maçonnerie. Attendez-vous à un travail parfois physique, incluant la manipulation de pierres et l’application de mortier. Certaines tâches se dérouleront en hauteur. En période de forte chaleur, les travaux se limiteront aux matinées.

The town of Saint-Mihiel organises volunteering workcamps to restore dry-stone walls and small stone structures that were rebuilt too quickly and unsustainably after the World Wars. They add to the town's charm and serve as important refuges for biodiversity, providing homes for insects and birds. Today, the entire area is recognised as a natural zone of ecological interest, and its protection is ensured by the state.
The mission involves restoring the walls and small stone structures of the Promenade des Capucins, located to the north of Saint-Mihiel, in order to return them to their original appearance and secure the pathways. For the masonry walls, volunteers will need to remove the old mortar, repair cracks and holes, and apply a new lime plaster. They will also raise the walls and install coping stones (plaster or tiles) to protect the walls in the long term.
For the dry-stone walls, volunteers will dismantle and sort the stones, sometimes reshaping them, and most importantly, carefully reassemble them while ensuring their stability. The work will be done in teams, guided by a professional who will teach traditional masonry techniques
Be prepared for physically demanding work, which will include handling stones and applying mortar. Some tasks will take place at height. During periods of intense heat, work will be limited to the mornings.

Accomodation and food

Les bénévoles logent à la Base de Loisirs de Saint-Mihiel, située à 20min à pied de la Promenade des Capucins. Ils partagent les lieux avec un centre de loisirs local, et des vacanciers installés en caravane ou en tentes aux alentours. Les espaces dédiés aux bénévoles du chantier sont privatisés.
Au-delà des temps de chantier, les volontaires participent ensemble à l’organisation de la vie collective. Souvent réparti·e·s en équipes, ils·elles élaborent les menus, participent aux courses, préparent les repas et s’assurent de la propreté des espaces communs.
Véritable acteur·ice de ton expérience, tu participeras aussi à la prise de décisions concernant les activités collectives et l’organisation du quotidien !

Nestling in a lush green valley, the commune of St Amand de Coly lies at the heart of the Périgord Noir, an area rich in history! Made up of two former communes that decided to merge into one, we’ll be working to unite these formerly separate areas into a single one. The ruins of the abbey castle at Coly bear witness to the valley's rich past, preserving some fine architectural features (bread oven, vaulted room, etc.) and revealing some wonderful secrets. The abbey of St Amand is proof of the power of the church in this area throughout the Middle Ages.
After a number of excavations at the castle, this year we have reached the layers of archaeological interest. Festivals, night markets, and village fairs will punctuate the summer.
You’ll discover the welcoming nature of the local people and the charm of the countryside and heritage, as you organise your programme of activities with the other volunteers, the other groups hosted, and the organisers.

Work

This project will be hosted by the Lutheran Parish in Rongai which is intending to address the walking distance for young children to access early childhood education facility. Distance travelled to school every day by pupil has substantial adverse effects on attendance at school. Younger children at the age of 4-6 are often the most vulnerable to access educational centers. Walking several kilometers every day is more strenuous for a small child than a teenager. Schools are located further from children’s homes. These factors among many others create significant barriers preventing millions of the world’s younger children from attending school. This project is aiming to renovate old church building into day care center where young children from the community can access early childhood education. It is also aiming to provide extracurricular activities for students after school hours.

Work

L’École du Breuil, école horticole de Paris, est implantée dans les jardins publics de la ville. L’an dernier, des bénévoles ont réalisé des relevés de faune et de flore pour enrichir les données de l’école et initier les visiteur·se·s aux sciences participatives. Cette année, l’objectif est de fabriquer un mur de nichoirs adaptés aux espèces locales, afin de favoriser la biodiversité et d’encourager l’observation des oiseaux.
As-tu déjà entendu parler des sciences participatives ? Cette année, tu partiras à la recherche des oiseaux du jardin, mais pas n'importe comment ! Pierre-Yves, notre animateur technique, accompagné des jardiniers du parc, te guidera à travers les protocoles d'observation. L’objectif : construire des nichoirs adaptés aux espèces recensées, en déterminant les dimensions idéales, puis en passant à la découpe et à l’assemblage du bois. Ces nichoirs deviendront aussi un support pédagogique pour les élèves et visiteur·se·s. Un second chantier consistera à créer des éléments en tressage végétal et des installations en bois pour enrichir l’espace de classe extérieure et le relier au mur de nichoirs par un chemin "végétal". Ces temps de chantier, menés aux côtés de passionnés de faune et de flore, seront aussi l’occasion d’échanger autour de la gestion écologique des espaces naturels et des principes de permaculture.

École du Breuil, a horticultural school in Paris, is located within the city's public gardens. Last year, volunteers conducted fauna and flora surveys to enrich the school's data and introduce visitors to citizen science. This year, the goal is to build a birdhouse wall tailored to local species, to promote biodiversity and encourage birdwatching.
Have you ever heard of citizen science? This year, you'll be searching for the garden's birds, but not just any way! Pierre-Yves, our technical facilitator, along with the park's gardeners, will guide you through the observation protocols. The goal: to build birdhouses tailored to the recorded species, by determining the ideal dimensions, then cutting and assembling the wood. These birdhouses will also serve as educational tools for students and visitors. A second project will involve creating woven plant elements and wooden installations to enrich the outdoor classroom space and link it to the birdhouse wall via a "vegetal" path. These work sessions, alongside passionate experts in fauna and flora, will also provide an opportunity to exchange ideas about the ecological management of natural spaces and the principles of permaculture.

Accomodation and food

Les bénévoles dormiront sous tentes individuelles, au sein du parc de l'école du Breuil. Ils auront accès à des espaces de vie collective proche du campement : cuisine extérieure, foyer des élèves (avec espace détente, babyfoot, table de ping pong), douches et sanitaires.
Au-delà des temps de chantier, les volontaires participent ensemble à l’organisation de la vie collective. Souvent réparti·e·s en équipes, ils·elles élaborent les menus, participent aux courses, préparent les repas et s’assurent de la propreté des espaces communs.
Véritable acteur·ice de ton expérience, tu participeras aussi à la prise de décisions concernant les activités collectives et l’organisation du quotidien !

Volunteers will sleep in individual tents, within the École du Breuil park. They will have access to communal living spaces near the campsite: outdoor kitchen, students' lounge (with a relaxation area, foosball, ping pong table), showers, and toilets.
Beyond the working hours, volunteers come together to organise daily life on the camp. Often divided into teams, they plan menus, help with the shopping, prepare meals, and ensure the cleanliness of shared spaces.
Fully involved in shaping your experience, you will also take part in decision-making regarding group activities and daily organization!

Work

Discover a trail where nature and heritage come together – and help bring it back to life!
After the success of several restoration projects, a new challenge awaits you: renovating a hiking trail along the Oise River, serving as a vital link between two towns. This project is particularly significant, not only for its environmental impact but also for its role in bringing communities together and showcasing the local heritage.

Building on past initiatives, you will take part in several key tasks to restore and improve access to the trail. The work will include pruning trees and shrubs blocking the path, removing invasive plant species to protect local biodiversity, clearing overgrown areas, and improving the trail’s accessibility. Additionally, you will help design and install educational panels to provide hikers with insights into the site’s history and natural treasures.

Accomodation and food

Your accommodation will be located in the garden of the "Maison pour Tous Nelson-Mandela", a bourgeois-style house from the end of the 19th century, which hosts the communal music workshops, exhibitions as well as cultural and leisure associations.

The group will have access to the kitchen of this house. You will sleep under individual tents. Large tents will be installed for the collective life. The infrastructures of the municipal stadium (300 metres away) will offer access to showers with a separation between girls and boys. You will share the various collective chores and prepare meals together, prioritising vegetarian meals and local products from the market.

Location and leisure

Saint-Maximin (3 000 inhabitants) is located in the department of Oise, 70km from Paris. The region has a rich historical heritage that you can discover nearby: The Chantilly Castle, the Compiegne Imperial Palace or the Pierrefonds Castle. Each year, in addition to outings, leisure activities are scheduled (St Leu d'Esserent water sports centre, swimming pool...).

Activities are planned with the youth service of the town to include you in the activities planned during the summer like the July 14th celebrations and meetings with the local population.

Project hosted by

The small town of Saint-Maximin, nestled at the heart of the stone quarries of the South of Oise, has an uncommon cultural heritage (troglodyte houses, old open-air quarries, mushroom beds, etc.) that it promotes in its museum "La Maison de la Pierre".

Today, there are still five stone quarries in use in Saint-Maximin. The stone extracted from them is mainly used for the restoration of historical monuments (Paris City Hall or the Arc de Triomphe). The quarries of Saint-Maximin also provide the clay used for the tennis courts of Roland-Garros. An initiation to stone cutting is planned during your stay!

Directions to meeting point

The meeting is planned at the CHANTILLY-GOUVIEUX train station on July 09 at the end of the day. The exact time of the meeting will be communicated with the info sheet, sent at least 4 weeks before the beginning of the workcamp.

From PARIS, regular trains leave from the Gare du Nord train station for CHANTILLY-GOUVIEUX (30-minute 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 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.
Whenever possible, use low-carbon transport solutions to get to the site: trains rather than planes, public transport rather than private cars.

Additional comments

Remember to bring work clothes for the work site as well as tight shoes. As the accommodation is under tents, remember to bring your sleeping bag as well as a floor mat or a camping mattress for more comfort.

Don't forget your bathing suit in case you are going to swim in the pool or at the St Leu d'Esserent water sports centre. You can also bring back specialities from your country, photos, musical instruments, in short what you like and want to share on this workcamp, either with the local population or with the group!

Requirements

Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues arise on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.

Don’t forget to send us your Medical Factsheet and Parental Authorization at least one month before the beginning of the workcamp.

Project hosted by

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.

Directions to meeting point

By request of volunteers we will pick up all volunteers up from the airport according to their Arrival information.

Work

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 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 Reykjanes Peninsula excursions.
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.

Accomodation and food

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.

Location and leisure

Reykjavík is a dynamic, modern city which lives in harmony with nature, using renewable energy sources. The world’s northernmost capital bridges the Atlantic, between Europe and North America. Reykjavík is spread across a peninsula with a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic. It is an international city with a lively cosmopolitan cultural scene surrounded by beautiful nature.

Project hosted by

This is the eighteenth year (since 2008) that SEEDS has organised a series of International Photography projects and we began organising these camps for teenagers in the year 2010. Throughout the year, participants from all over the world come to Iceland for an immersive photography-focused learning camp. SEEDS coordinators help participants to develop their unique photographic skills through workshops and feedback sessions on technical settings, compositional considerations, and creating conceptual frameworks that highlight each participant’s individual style.

Directions to meeting point

Meeting time will be 18:00 (6:00 pm) on July 11 at the SEEDS office. Participants that cannot arrive on time (later flights) will receive instructions on how to reach the camp location. Those arriving earlier the same day are welcome from 10:00 am in the office to drop their bags/luggage and wait for the meeting time.

Additional comments

English will be the language in the camp; intermediate conversational skills are needed.
Additional excursions (eg. Hot River Hike or the South Shore) can be arranged at discount fares depending on time availability, weather conditions, and the number of participants interested in joining them.
Be prepared for cold or rainy weather and bring warm and/or waterproof clothing.

Requirements

Participation fee EUR 650 (Euros), which needs to be transferred to SEEDS the latest one month before the camp starts to confirm the placement. It includes food, accommodation, transportation from the meeting point to the camp (on the first day), the Golden Circle and Reykjanes excursions. We will visit spectacular waterfalls, geysers, impressive coastline, a volcano crater, the Thingvellir National Park and much more.

Work

The work will mainly involve collaboration with the local Town Council and other community partners, focusing on gardening, painting, and various renovation tasks around the area. Volunteers will contribute to the upkeep and improvement of public spaces by engaging in manual tasks such as restoring community facilities, cleaning, decorating, and maintaining green areas.

Additionally, participants may be involved in supporting environmental volunteering initiatives, including helping us maintain our educational beehive panels and participating in local ecological activities like trail cleaning, community garden support, or beach litter removal, depending on current needs.

The project is dynamic and will adapt to the specific requirements of the municipality and local associations at the time of each camp. Tasks will vary from group to group and may depend on what previous teams have completed. Volunteers should be ready for a hands-on, flexible experience and excited to contribute wherever help is most needed.
There are different Casa Jazmín camps running from the end of June through August. Each group continues the work of the previous one, creating a collaborative effort across the summer.

Accomodation and food

The volunteers will stay in a volunteer house, with four rooms with several bunkbeds and bathrooms. They will share rooms with four to six other volunteers. The house includes a nice kitchen in which the volunteers will cook for themselves in the guidance of the camp leaders.

In Tanzania, Africa as well around the world many people still barely meet anyone outside of a small circle of family, friends and community while even more never venture beyond the culture in which they were raised. Intercultural exposure project is aiming to serve as an important means of introducing people around the world to realities they might not normally be exposed to. Many barriers have begun to fall between people around the world, with near-instantaneous communication allowing people on opposite sides of the world to meaningfully interact. Intercultural exposure project encourages people from all walks of life to appreciate and understand distinct cultures and play a key role in creating productive dialogue across the world. The project will be hosted at Lolarash Lutheran church.

Come and live an exhilarating adventure by participating in a renovation project in the heart of Brittany! The town of Rohan welcomes you for its first international project and needs you to enhance the chapel of Saint-Gouvry! You will work on the renovation of the chapel's surrounding walls. This will be an opportunity for you to learn traditional masonry techniques, but also to meet unforgettable people, and to discover a little green paradise that runs along the Nantes-Brest canal.

Accomodation and food

You will be accommodated in tents (provided by Concordia), at the Val d'Oust campsite which is a 5-minute walk from the site! Group life will be organized nearby in a room made available to the group. You will share the various group tasks and group activities. Together, you will participate in organizing group life (cleaning, activities, etc.) and in preparing meals, in turn, using products that you will purchase nearby. The facilitators will have a budget dedicated to covering these expenses, but you will be in charge of preparing the menus and doing your shopping. A vegetarian diet with local and seasonal products will be favored. This while respecting the participants' diets and discovering local cuisines.

Work

The main works are farming vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, radishes, etc at the farming camp and organize leisure time activity with kids from Children’s home. Also, volunteers may work on making fences to protect the farm, etc. Quite tiring but let's enjoy it.

Location and leisure

45 km from Ulaanbaatar. Place name is “BUHUUGIIN HURAL”. The sight is just unbelievably beautiful, typical Mongolian plain. Cultural exchange program, excursions, etc.

Project hosted by

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.

Directions to meeting point

By request of volunteers we will pick up all volunteers up from the airport according to their Arrival information.
