"The Time for Youth" summer camp will consist of the following tasks: 1. At the small youth energy station point, where we organize daily meetings, we expect you to conduct traditional Cultural Evenings for Latvian youth, where you can share about your country, its opportunities, traditions, and interesting facts. You may also participate in some activities to share your personal experiences. 2. Each year, we organize a charity event by going to the fields and forests to pick flowers, oak branches, and other traditional Līgo decorations to create special bouquets and wreaths under the guidance of a specialist. These will then be donated in exchange for contributions to collect funds for the organization "The Time for Youth" and its work with rural region youth, including at-risk youth—street youth. 3. We have a large charity warehouse in the district, where we provide humanitarian aid to Latvian and Ukrainian civilians, but during the summer period, we will move to newer, better-equipped facilities. We need help sorting clothes from more than 1,000 boxes by size and gender, so they can be placed in the appropriate boxes. About Līgo celebrations: Līgo celebrations are the traditional Jāņi holidays celebrated in Latvia on the night of the summer solstice. These holidays symbolize the time of light, summer, and the flourishing of nature. The main essence of the holiday is to celebrate the return of the sun and fertility. Līgo holidays are associated with various folklore and ritual traditions, such as weaving wreaths from grasses and flowers. A significant part of it is Līgo singing, which includes traditional songs. Eating is another tradition of the holiday, with bread, cheese, and beer served at the table. Many celebrants also watch the sunset and light bonfires. A notable activity is Līgoing during the night, when people dance and sing. It is believed that celebrating helps ensure a good harvest for the following year. Līgo holidays are a clear symbol of community and cultural heritage in Latvia. Līgo is celebrated every year from June 23rd to 24th. You will have the opportunity to experience traditional Līgo - Jāņi in Latvia, creating unforgettable emotions and memories. We will ensure that you have the chance to attend several offered events in the region, including in Riga (the capital of Latvia).

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. Note that this is a learning/sharing camp and not a regular workcamp; this project has a smaller volunteer work part and emphasises the personal learning process over the community impact. We may be able to organise some outdoor voluntary work, but it depends on our partners and the weather conditions.

Would you like to make an important contribution to the conservation of moors and heaths and their animals and plants? Then this workcamp in the beautiful countryside of northern Germany between Bremen and Hamburg is the right place for you. You will work with your workcamp group in seven protected areas. In the fauna-flora-habitat areas (FFH - habitat of animals and plants protected under EU law) and nature reserves (NSG) “Bullensee und Hemelsmoor”, “Hohes Moor”, “Großes Moor” and “Feerner Moor”, you will remove sawn-off trees and shrubs from former peat-cutting areas to create habitats for endangered and peat-relevant plant species such as Bult peat moss, cranberry and smooth snake. In the landscape conservation area (LSG) "Stellingsmoor", your group will clear sensitive moor areas in order to preserve moor development and the habitat for the protected smooth snake. In the “Swatte Flag” nature reserve (NSG) you will clear a protected shallow water body for dragonflies and check bat boxes in the “Beverner Wald” nature reserve.
All activities are professionally supervised by the staff and volunteers of the NABU Ecological Station Oste-Region. In addition to the practical work, you will learn a lot about nature conservation and environmental protection in general as well as the natural habitat of moors and heaths and their protection in particular from the staff and volunteers. You will learn a lot about the local flora and fauna, their relevance for the ecosystem and the various measures to protect them.
Cooperation partners for this work camp are the Office for Nature Conservation and Landscape Management of the Rotenburg and Stade districts and the NABU Bremervörde-Zeven and Stade district groups.

Landscape conservation in great surroundings and sightseeing in the big city! - You can experience both at this camp on the outskirts of the metropolis of Hamburg.
You will work under the guidance of staff from the Elbe Tidal Floodplain Centre, mainly in the Boberger Niederung and Borghorster Elblandschaft nature reserves, but also in the nature reserves Auenlandschaft Obere Tideelbe, Allermoher Wiesen, Horster Moor and Heuckenlock areas. In the first week you will work from Monday to Friday, in the second from Monday to Thursday, as Friday 3 October is a public holiday.
The Boberger Niederung nature reserve is an extraordinary place, as sand dunes and heathland, moors and forests, marshland meadows and waters meet here, making every corner of the 464-hectare area diverse and particularly worthy of protection. Around 650 plant species grow here, including many highly endangered or endangered species, such as the broad-leaved orchid. Endangered animals such as the blue-winged grasshopper, grass snake and common snipe can also be found here. The inland dune is the most endangered type of biotope in Germany, which is why one of your tasks is to carry out weed removal measures or to ?ring? the invasive bird cherry, i.e. to take away its nutrient supply by removing the bark.
In the Borghorster Elblandschaften nature reserve, you will also be busy weeding and ?ringing? weeping cherries. This 225-hectare area offers similarly diverse habitats as the Boberger Niederung. Animal species such as the beaver, the oriole and the ant mermaid (an insect species) can be found here. You will also be planting hardwoods in the tidal floodplain.
On a trip to the Elbe Tidal Floodplain Centre in Hamburg-Moorwerder, you will get an insight into the exhibition there and a guided tour of the adjacent, unique Heuckenlock nature reserve (a freshwater tidal floodplain with a 100-hectare alluvial forest, which is located in the south of the Elbe island of Wilhelmsburg and where, among other things, the white-tailed eagle breeds). You will also build and hang up nesting aids and collect rubbish in the Allermoher Wiesen nature reserve.
In addition to the practical work, you will learn a lot about nature and environmental protection in general as well as the nature and habitat in these two special nature reserves from employees of the Elbe Tidal Floodplain Centre. You will learn a lot about the local flora and fauna as well as the special need for protection of animals and plants on the Red List.

The Märkische Schweiz Nature Park, 40 km east of Berlin, offers a unique natural and cultural landscape as well as an area for our project in and around the ‘Drei Eichen’ environmental education centre. By cooperating with the nature park administration, we will not only get to know the nature park and its surroundings, but also actively help to shape it.
We are offering this work camp because it is fun to have young people from all over the world with us and because we simply need a lot of hands for some of the work!
People and pets live on the grounds of the Drei Eichen environmental education centre - and there are almost always lots of guests: children, families, seminar groups.
For activities in between, Drei Eichen and its grounds offer many opportunities to learn about plants and animals, nature conservation and alternative ways of life and to actively participate. These include the tipi village and the wilderness education centre, the Zeidlerei station and a pottery workshop. Excursions or courses can be organised here by prior arrangement.
On some days you will ‘give something back to Drei Eichen’ by working on the farm - because sometimes we need many hands: e.g. for wood protection coating on the playground, repair work, building nesting boxes or replanting. We decide at short notice and depending on the weather.
At various locations in the Märkische Schweiz Nature Park, we will spend a few days helping to carry out various landscape conservation work in different natural areas. Autumn is the time when trees and shrubs are pruned, but also when planting takes place and bulbs are put in the ground. We are happy to help here! We also want to tackle invasive species.
There are many lakes and beautiful scenic areas that invite you to explore and relax after work! In autumn, there are also large migrations of cranes and geese, which rest and feed in large numbers on the nearby lakes. It would be possible to organise an excursion with an expert.
All work, whether in landscape conservation, crafts or creative design, takes place outdoors. We plan together on site, depending on the current weather conditions, on which days we do which work and which days we take off.
