Organizzatore
This workcamp is hosted by Armaş Foundation, a civil society organization based in Akmeşe, Kocaeli, centered on ecology, ethics, and communication. Founded in 2021, the Foundation creates spaces for learning, co-creation, and meaningful encounters, bringing together individuals and institutions who care about sustainability and a just life together.
At the heart of the Foundation are Armaş Academy and the Armaş Foundation Venue, a 20-acre ecological space surrounded by lavender fields, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and open landscapes. The venue hosts workshops, gatherings, and projects focused on environmental awareness, ethical reflection, and collective learning.
By joining this camp, volunteers will contribute not only to practical tasks but also to a living space that values sustainability, mindful togetherness, and ecological responsibility.
