The main goal is to promote the hidden history and culture of the islands from an international perspective. To achieve this, we will organize a ‘Glocal (global-local) Island School Project’ with local students. As part of this program, we will hold lectures on the islands, share ideas about island life, and introduce participants' diverse traditions and cultures to local youth through experiential education.
Participants will engage students in games, share cooking recipes, showcase traditional clothing, and demonstrate dances and songs from their home countries. Through these activities, island youth will enhance their global competence and develop a sense of pride in island life.
Additionally, we will assist socially disadvantaged local residents by delivering meals and helping elderly individuals with household chores such as home repairs and maintenance. During this process, we will listen to their stories, share our own values, and invite them to share international cuisine with us.
Finally, we will host an island promotion competition to showcase the unique values and international aspects of the islands through creative projects and social media posts.
Through these experiences, we hope that you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in diverse cultures, experience real island life, and build meaningful connections with local residents.

Did you know that there are about 3,000 islands in Korea? These islands are filled with various stories. For instance, it was an island where foreigners first visited Korea, and one of the presidents received the Nobel Peace Prize in Korea. Many people have considered islands as isolated places because they are separated from the mainland and historically seen as remote destinations. However, from a different point of view, we can consider islands as the first gateways in Korean history to accept foreign and diverse cultures. They were such open-minded places to embrace diverse cultures and values.
Here, we can discover the cultural heritage from a global-local perspective. From islands where foreign cultures were first embraced, we aim to promote global values and cultural heritage, and introduce the values brought by international volunteers to the island residents. Join us for a meaningful adventure! :)

This project is actively working for SDG 1 (No poverty) and SDGs 02 (Zero hunger), organized together with Green Volunteers for Green Future (GV4GF) since 2012 (since 2020 we are working here but Kumaragama is first time). Higurakgoda is a settlement, established in 1956, under the government development plan. Families brought to here from different parts of Sri Lanka and asked them to settle here while doing paddy farming. Different parts of Sri Lanka have different kind of sub cultures. In here all of them are mixed and emerge a new sub culture. Now 3rd generation is living here with their 2nd generation parents. During the 21st century, technology is changed rapidly but it is not reached to these areas because of language barrier, unawareness, narrow perspectives and so on. As a country, everyone should be a part of country’s development process but unfortunately these rural communities are somehow rejected by the administration. But actually, communities’ active participation is essential to overcome the burdens and to establish a just society. Some families are doing other activities to live. Making bags, packeting spices, maintain plant nurseries are among them. We are working closely with paddy farmers as well as other families who have no lands to do agriculture too.

Wuqi District is located in a plain between the Da an River and the Dadu River. It is bordered by Qingshui District to the north, Shalu District to the east, Longjing District to the south, and the Taiwan Strait to the west. Today, the coastline of Wuqi is connected to the Port of Taichung. As a coastal town, the development history of Wuqi is inextricably linked to the prosperity of the port.Wuqi was formerly known as Zhuofa Xie and Wucha Gang . In the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, it was called Ao Xi . In the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1891), it was renamed Wuqi Port, taking the elegant meaning of Phoenix does not rest on a non-Wuchi, does not drink from a non-spiritual spring, and does not eat bamboo .On December 25, 2010, Wuqi Township was upgraded to Wuqi District as part of the merger of Taichung County and City into a special municipality. Although the administrative area is not vast, it still has a deep cultural tourism potential, especially its rich cultural assets, such as local historical relics, historical buildings, and local folk culture, which are all worth seeing.In the past few years of its prosperous years, temples have also become ubiquitous buildings in Wuqi, reflecting the piety of the ancestors to religion and their expectations for life. When the northeast monsoon blows, local eels migrate, and various seafood restaurants can be seen in Wuqi. These restaurants not only satisfy the appetite, but also allow visitors to experience the daily life on this land.Aims:The Taichung Coast has many traditional buildings and is a place where the migration of settlements and folk activities are thriving. The purpose of this event is to understand the importance of maintaining the environmental conditions of the port area, and to learn about the old buildings in the port area of Taichung City, such as the traditional residences in Wuqi Old Street. Participants will learn about traditional architecture and how to reuse it. This event also allows participants to experience the local customs, industry, and life of Taichung Harbor.

- Work on the improvement and enhancement of the Castro Friulio, and help in the restoration and consolidation of various structures (roofs of the pallozas, kilns ...).
- Active participation in the organization and execution of the "IV Malla" in Castro Friulio, an event that took place for the first time in 2021, coinciding with the first edition of this Work Camp. It is about recovering the tradition of the wheat mesh, which was much more than the sifting of cereals.
LA MALLA, what is?: Before the harvesting machines did everything: mowing, extracting the grain, packing the straw,... it was done manually. One of the most important cooperative works in rural agriculture was LA MALLA. This communion between all the neighbours, uniting effort and sweat,... takes the step of becoming an almost extinct secular tradition in a good part of our Galicia.
- Planting of a forest of native trees and fruit trees along the Narla river promenade to the town.

Family workcamp! This project is actively working for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGs 10 (Reduced Inequalities), organized together with Kyodo Gakusha since 2000, a cooperative community where people with various backgrounds such as mentally disadvantaged, people who are tired of city life, who want to learn farming, who want to live in the nature, etc. They have 5 communities in Japan incl. Maki and Tateya and grow animals and vegetables in ecological, organic way.
Maki is located in a very isolated area (not accessible for cars and we have to walk 4 km in the mountains!), so it once became an abandon village in 1970s and then, was revived by Kyodo Gakusha. Over 10 people incl. 2 families were living till several years ago, but less and less in these years (almost nobody in the winter), so vols. are needed even more!
Tateya is located on the hilly (less than Maki, but still a bit isolated) area where 30-40 members live and mainly do rice farming as well as growing cows and chicken.
*Outcome of this workcamp: In 2023, we had 4 short term workcamps and 1 LMTV project with 13 vols. who greatly contributed to their protecting the houses, farming and caring animals that was difficult to finish by the time they needed without volunteers!
