SEEDS programme combines learning, sharing and hands-on activities. On top of that you get to know Iceland and its culture while having fun, exploring the city, its attractions and stunning nature, which you can experience in possible excursions. Participants should prepare to share environmental issues from their countries and be ready to spend time outdoors walking medium distances (up to 1,5 hours) during activities and sightseeing. Note this project is a learning/sharing camp and not a standard workcamp. This project has a smaller volunteer work part and puts a bigger emphasis on the personal learning process than on the community impact.SEEDS will organise a night photography and aurora hunting workshop in the city or in the vicinity of Reykjavik. Northern lights are a natural phenomenon depending on solar activity and meteorological conditions, so we cannot guarantee you will see northern lights, but the night photography workshop will be organised anyway.

Until its liberation in April 1945, over 120,000 women and children, 20,000 men and 1,000 underage young women from the so-called "Uckermark Youth Protection Camp" were imprisoned there. The prisoners came from more than 40 nations. They had to perform forced labour in various sectors, e.g. for SS factories or the Siemens company. Their daily lives were marked by hunger, mistreatment, and poor hygienic conditions. Tens of thousands of prisoners were killed. Today, the Ravensbrueck Memorial preserves traces and records, promotes remembering and research, and creates a place for active learning and encounters. Every year, international work camps are organized in cooperation with the memorial.

The partner is the momorial and place of remambrance Ravensbrück. The former women's concentration camp Ravensbrueck was built in 1939 near the small town of Fürstenberg/Havel. Until its liberation in April 1945, over 120,000 women and children, 20,000 men and 1,000 underage young women from the so-called "Uckermark Youth Protection Camp" were imprisoned there. The prisoners came from more than 40 nations. They had to perform forced labour in various sectors, e.g. for SS factories or the Siemens company. Their daily lives were marked by hunger, mistreatment, and poor hygienic conditions. Tens of thousands of prisoners were killed. Today, the Ravensbrueck Memorial preserves traces and records, promotes remembering and research, and creates a place for active learning and encounters. Every year, international work camps are organized in cooperation with the memorial.

Participating in the everyday life of the Centre, mainly giving a hand with the maintenance of the place (cooking, doing the laundry, cleaning, helping with the carpentry or gardening on a rotating basis, etc.). Personal care of residents who might need it (such as helping out to get dressed) is also a possible task, but only if you really feel prepared for doing it.
An important part of your stay will be socialising with the community of the centre. The presence of international volunteers in the centre brings "fresh air" to the limited social life of its residents. They will be curious about your country and your culture. It is a good idea to bring photos, music or any material which might enable you to present yourself and where you are coming from. It will be rare for them to speak other languages than Spanish. Therefore good knowledge of it is very recommended.
You have to take into account that you will be living in a therapeutic community. Following the guidelines that will be given at the beginning of the workcamp (such as those concerning timetable, punctuality, relationship among residents and volunteers, telephone calls, not smoking or drinking...) is an essential part of the therapeutic approach. BASIDA kindly requests you to do so. A team of professionals will be always there to back you up. Do not hesitate to ask them for advice. We count on your understanding and sensibility.
A workshop on drugs and HIV, socio-medical approach: “Course on Comprehensive care for people in social exclusion”, is organised during the first week.

Since 1990, it has opened three centres- all of them run by a multi-professional voluntary staff. One of these three centres is located in Aranjuez, a village located in Madrid County.
The physical and psychological recovery as well as the social rehabilitation of Basida residents are being achieved thanks to close teamwork focused on proving to them that someone really cares for them. The Basida team tries to help those attending the centre, who for a long time have only experienced social exclusion, to regain hope and self-esteem.
