Built in the 13th century, the medieval fortress is a strategic point to defend the borders during various conflicts. It evolves with time and quickly becomes a prison welcoming prisoners such as Jeanne d?Arc, or, later, Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (future Napoleon III). Almost completely destroyed by the German army in 1917, it is now in a state of ruin. For more information, you can consult their website : http://chateau-de-ham.over-blog.com/
Since 1972, the Association des Amis du Chateau de Ham has been fighting to preserve and enhance the historical site. They host integration work sites, organize flea markets and exhibitions, and even transform the site into a theater. For several years, Concordia has been helping the association with the restoration of the monument through volunteer workcamps involving local and international youth.

Come Hunt Ghosts and Rebuild the Past! Welcome to Ornezan, in the heart of the Gers, where the adventure continues! Last summer, a first team started rebuilding the cemetery wall. Now, it's time to finish the job! That's where you come in. During this project, you’ll learn traditional masonry techniques and work with local stones to bring this wall back to life. If you're ready for the challenge, join the Ghostbusters Wall Edition adventure and leave your mark on the heritage of this welcoming and charming village!
Luogo
Ornezan is a small village in the Gers, surrounded by rolling hills and valleys. The landscape is shaped by agriculture, with fields, lakes, and winding paths weaving between farms and forests. The Gers is a region where life moves at a slower pace, with a strong Gascon identity still alive today. You might even hear a few words of Occitan at the market or in local conversations. Your work days will be balanced with moments of relaxation. When the summer heat peaks, you can cool off in nearby lakes. Throughout the season, numerous village festivals take place, featuring open-air meals, dances, and performances.

PROJECT: 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 is open to participants aged 16 to 20. During their stay, SEEDS organises a programme that combines learning, sharing, getting to know Iceland and its culture, and having fun while exploring the city and some of the most stunning natural attractions in the Golden Circle and Reykjanes Peninsula excursions.

Nature conservation and forest management in a great environment as well as relaxation on the Baltic Sea beach!
You can experience both at this camp in the north of Germany. You will work alongside volunteers from all over the world in the forests and nature reserves surrounding the youth forest centre where you will be staying.
Your tasks will include clearing young forest stands, cutting back invasive late-flowering bird cherry, building and erecting wooden fences to protect young trees from game browsing, building raised hides, clearing paths and dismantling old wire fences in the forest. Some of the work can be very strenuous and monotonous. (Note: The actual work to be carried out may differ from that described here).
During the work you will also learn a lot about the protection of the forest and rare habitats in theory and practice. You will also learn how nature and landscape conservation areas can be carefully developed for tourism so that people can make better and more informative use of the beautiful natural environment.
In the first week you will work from Monday to Friday and in the second week from Monday to Thursday.

Since the school is regarded as place where many important activities are happening, it is also notable that many local organizations have strong connection with it. The same will be in this case, as well. The project can be defined only by 3 areas on this platform, so we can't describe everything that will happen there, but here we can write more on that.
Volunteers will do many tasks in cooperation with many associations in Požega. With those of social character, it will be decided which families are in need for additional support, so that volunteers can help to those in danger with their regular activities. Then there will be some visit to the local association of those with cerebral paralysis (help and workshops should be done there). Also, volunteers will be participating in the activities with local Gerontological center, where they might take care of the garden, but also meet older people that will be glad to participate in some workshops with guests.
Still, we shouldn't forget that there will be things to do in school's yard, as well, with picking up the raspberries (one of the Serbian national fruits) and blackberries (another among many; Serbia is simply the land of fruits). Planting seeds, taking out the bad plants, feeding the animals-just few of planned actions that will be done during the stay in this marvellous place.
As volunteers are minors, work will be naturally adjusted to everyone.
Luogo
Požega is a cute place in rich with nature territory of Western Serbia, with nice center where volunteers can feel the real town atmosphere (it is very alive, especially during the summer). Still, the school itself is located a little bit outside of it, surrounded by parks and fields, so the volunteers can have some free time to relax. School has sports terrains for recreation. The town has swimming pool, so maybe some hot days can be spent there.
Since the participants are minors, their free-time will be very well-organized. Musical nights, hiking, excursions in the area, visit to the cinemas and theater plays (that can be internationally understood of course), intercultural nights, many workshops, language courses, but precise informationS on that will be provided in the Infosheet.
The only thing we will recommend to take with you on this adventure is patience and smile and it will be an eternal pleasant memory!
Alloggio
The volunteers will be accommodated in the school dormitory in the rooms with 2-3 beds and bathroom (practically-3 stars hotel). Linen will be provided.
Food will be prepared together in the kitchen of the dormitory. The workshops on making Serbian traditional meals will be organized several times.

International 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 and direct 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 KALEIDOSCOPE . We invite camp participants to discuss ideas of chaos and order, mess and harmony. Together, we will discover our own infinite potential and freedom to create new patterns of life, same way as we create patterns out of random single pieces of colourful glass twisting a kaleidoscope. We will learn how to find harmony in apparent disorder and use chaos as a tool for stress relief, how to turn imperfection into the source of true beauty and embrace uncertainty to make our life journey more successful, unique and vibrant. Camp participants will gain ideas and skills how to deal with a million of combinations of the world s reality.Meetings with local and/or international professionals in the field will take place. Thematic photo and video contests for camp participants will be organized.
