Arbeit

The main task is harvesting various berries and vegetables such as rhubarb, currants, raspberries, Japanese quince, helping juice making and products packaging. But there is also weed control and fertilization with mulch in plantations, mowing grass, cutting branches, removal of bushes and wood chipping, assistance in the construction of various small buildings, vegetable beds and other necessary structures on the site, painting as well. Also, there is ongoing work of planting seeds. Some days work will be done at neighbouring Jariste wine farm https://jaristeveinitalu.com/en that produces wine and cider from Estonian grapes, berries, fruits and apples in the historic tavern of Luke manor. It is one of the few in Estonia who make wine from grapes grown in our own vineyard. So, the work is grapevine care (pruning, tying up), apple tree and field grape care (pruning, weeding), and other work in plantation. Work hours are 6-7 hours/ day for 4-5 days/ week, and it largely depends on season and weather conditions.

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.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

According to the Nordic sagas Hiiumaa emerged from the Baltic Sea as a small islet more than 10 000 years ago. The island of Hiiumaa was first mentioned in historical documents as a deserted island called Dageida in 1228. The first inhabitants settled down at the end of the 13th century. Nowadays Hiiumaa is the second biggest island of Estonia with the area of 965 sq. km and the population around 9 000. It has many historical and nature sights, and there are kind people known for their hospitality and good sense of humor. The island is referred as a remote area of Europe, so EstYES feels particularly proud developing international voluntary projects for over 20 years there. For decades EstYES has been cooperating with farms all over Estonia to show solidarity and give practical support to local people who work in agricultural sector keeping traditional life style and developing new eco-farming despite of difficulties they face. Lepaniidi Farm on Hiiumaa is one of such projects. This is an organic farm promoting sustainable lifestyle, and camp is offered to volunteers who appreciate and share its values, want to learn more about it and help hard working people.

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.

ProjectEstonian Fund for Nature (ELF) is NGO dedicated to nature conservation. Its mission is to preserve endangered species and their habitats, natural landscapes and natural associations typical of Estonia. ELF has organized yearly nature conservation holidays where volunteers, participants and group managers work together in order to improve the living conditions of a certain species (natterjack toad, black stork) or maintain semi-natural communities. Read more on http://elfond.ee/en and check photos of previous years projects https://www.talgud.ee/talgud/tehtavad-tood/harivesilik , https://www.talgud.ee/talgud/tehtavad-tood/verev-lemmmalts , : https://talgud.ee/talgud/galerii/2025 This year camp has two different tasks - wooded meadow management and restoration of breeding ponds for newts, which have to be accomplished in two different locations. The aim of the first part is protection of wooded meadows in Alam-Pedja nature reserve. Alam-Pedja Nature Reserve was created in 1994 on the lower reaches of the Pedja river, and comprises bogs, and floodplains. You can find some of the most remote areas of Estonia here, with plenty of wildlife. Palupohja Nature School was established in an old farm house in 2001, and has housed ELF s Summer School (a 4-day scythe-festival) since 2017.Wooded meadows rich in flowers and birds have been a characteristic part of Estonian landscapes for centuries. At a time when most of the population lived in the countryside, pastures were needed to graze the animals and meadows to obtain winter fodder. Wooded meadows are areas with regularly mowed natural herbs and sparse trees and shrubs, where the sunniest open areas alternate with individually growing trees and more shady groups of trees. It is these diverse conditions that help woodlands to maintain an exceptional species richness. Source: https://keskkonnaamet.ee/en/project-woodmeadowlife The aim of the second part is restoring the habitat of endangered amphibian the northern crested newt which takes place in Haanja.Haanja National Park is the hilliest part of an otherwise low country. It s locally known for some distinct cultural heritage: smoke saunas and Voru dialect. Haanja hills create a highly diverse landscape with small size fields, hay meadows, forests, and wetlands, which is a perfect habitat for many cultural landscape species that have been lost in intensive farming areas.The great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) is a rare dark lizard-like threatened amphibian species in Estonia, occurring mainly in the southern part of the country. One of the main reasons for the decrease in the crested newt numbers is the lack of small water bodies suitable for breeding. Volunteers will clear the ponds of brushwood and vegetation, which helps to ensure the survival and increase of existing populations. Here are photos from previous camps in Haanja https://www.talgud.ee/talgud/tehtavad-tood/harivesilik NB The first days of the camp,
