This project is actively working for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with the local group since 2019. This village has been welcoming "Ohenro (pilgrims)" who visit 88 temples in Shikoku since long time ago. The pilgrims walk through this village before visiting "Kakurin-ji temple"; the 20th temple out of 88 temples of the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage. However, there are problems which should be solved such as aging and depopulation of the community these days, and locals haven't been able to find solutions for those problems. On the other hand, since more and more people from overseas visit for the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage locals are trying to find new ways for "omotenashi (hospitality)". Volunteers who have been working on the project have come up with ideas for the reuse of vacant and abandoned land. Local host Oi have finally decided that they can freely renovate and modify the vacant houses. Moreover, the site is in a good location, with mountains, a river and fields. It is up to the volunteers from now on to decide how to develop the project. The aim is for the volunteer members to clean up the abandoned houses and village landscape and transform it into a village that people will want to visit to take photos, as it used to be a village where people came and went since ancient times.

During the workcamp mornings, you will participate in the construction of a wooden structure, a covered shelter, which will serve as a relaxing area and a cool, shaded space.

Once the structure is completed, you will be able to shelter there and take part in its decoration and layout.
But it doesn?t stop there ? we need your motivation to restore the stone and mosaic slab in our "pond and performance" area. Over the years, relentless vegetation has infiltrated the space, and the ground is now all uneven. The frogs will be at the front lines, encouraging you with their croaks!
Additionally, you will help water the plants, harvest vegetables from the garden, and transform these products. You?ll have the chance to meet our 3 wonderful residents from the chicken coop and maintain this space regularly.
This project is a great opportunity to meet young people from across Europe and around the world, exchange cultures, and share friendly moments. It?s the ideal setting to make new friends while engaging in various positive experiences (sleeping in tents, eating responsibly, using compost toilets...).

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. 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 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 HellisheiE(i 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.

CE PROJET N'EST PAS OUVERT AUX INSCRIPTIONS - THIS PROJECT IS NOT OPEN FOR REGISTRATION
Le Couvent des Annonciades Célestes a été racheté par des passionnés de patrimoine, qui ont à coeur de le restaurer et de le faire revivre. C'est ainsi que depuis 2022, ils accueillent des chantiers de bénévoles avec engouement. Au delà des travaux, l'objectif du chantier est de faire découvrir aux bénévoles les richesses du patrimoine local et de la gastronomie française, et de partager avec eux leur amour des belles choses et de leur ville.
Les travaux au couvent se concentrent autour de différents ouvrages en pierre, qui ont besoin de soins car certains menacent de s'effondrer, ce qui peut mettre en péril le bâtiment et ses jardins. Ainsi, le chantier de cette année portera sur le démontage et le remontage d'un mur extérieur dans les jardins, qui menace de s'effondrer et perturbe esthétiquement l'ensemble rénové, et la réfection des enduits en chaux de la cuisine qui protègent les pierres des infiltrations d'eau. Avec l'aide d'un·e professionnel·le de la maçonnerie traditionnelle, les bénévoles seront amené·e·s à fabriquer du mortier à la chaux, débâtir le mur puis réassembler des pierres, réaliser des enduits, joints et couvertures, dans le respect des techniques anciennes. Attends-toi à un travail parfois physique. Certaines tâches se dérouleront en hauteur. En période de forte chaleur, les travaux se limiteront aux matinées.
The Convent of the Annonciades Célestes was purchased by heritage enthusiasts who are dedicated to restoring it and bringing it back to life. Since 2022, they have been hosting volunteer projects. Beyond the restoration work, the goal of the project for the locals is to introduce volunteers to the treasures of local heritage and French gastronomy, while sharing their love for beauty and their town.
The work at the Convent focuses on various stone structures that are in great need of care, as some are at risk of collapsing, endangering the building and its gardens. This year, the project will involve dismantling and rebuilding an exterior garden wall that is threatening to collapse, disrupting the aesthetic harmony of the renovated site, as well as repairing the lime plaster in the kitchen, which protects the stones from water infiltration.
With the guidance of a traditional masonry professional, volunteers will learn to prepare lime mortar, dismantle and reassemble stones, and apply plasters, joints, and coverings while respecting traditional techniques. Be prepared for occasionally physical work. Some tasks will take place at height. During periods of intense heat, work will be limited to mornings.

This will be the 16th time that the community of Lauterbach and the local Landscape Development Association host a workcamp. They appreciate the contributions of international volunteers and are very excited to welcome support for different environmental construction tasks in protected natural area! Besides the obvious valuable help from the workcamp group, they are also very happy to share their knowledge about forest preservation to foreign volunteers. By volunteering in this project, you are actively protecting nature and biodiversity (UN SDG 15).
