There are 3 species of Galliformes in Estonian forests: the western capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus), the black grouse (Tetrao tetrix), and the hazel grouse (Tetrastes bonasia). Prior to the work, an ornithologist will give an overview on how to differentiate between these species and how to recognize their feathers, feces and sound. Volunteers will spend workdays either alone or in pairs in individual areas. The task is to walk through the designated area taking notes of all the Galliformes or signs of the species. A smartphone or GPS will help you keep track of your whereabouts. A typical workday lasts for 6 hours. There will be no surveillance on days with heavy rain. The guidelines will be provided by ELF.

ProjectEstonian Fund for Nature (ELF) is NGO dedicated to nature conservation. Its mission is to preserve endangered species and their habitats, natural landscapes and natural associations typical of Estonia. ELF organizes yearly nature conservation holidays where volunteers, participants and group managers work together in order to improve the living conditions of a certain species (i.e. natter jack toad, black stork) or maintain semi-natural communities. You can read more on http://elfond.ee/en and see photos of volunteering camps 2019 and 2020: http://www.talgud.ee/galerii/2019 , http://www.talgud.ee/galerii/2020 The aim of this camp is the surveillance of the western capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) and other Galliformes in Estonian mires and forests in the North-East of Estonia.The western capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) is the largest Galliform in Europe. The male and female differ in colorization and size, whereby the hens are around 40 smaller than the cocks. The population of males in Estonia is about 1500 and the numbers are declining due to the loss of habitats. The surveillance and counting of specimens helps to evaluate the status of the species and take further action in its protection.North-East Estonia is a region of contrast. It is the largest industrial (oil shale) region of Estonia, spiked with underground mines and ruined landscapes. However, it is also the home to Alutaguse, the largest forestry region, and the newest National Park of Estonia. North-East Estonia has an interesting combination of industrial mining towns from the Soviet era, small villages along the coast of Lake Peipus, and endless wilderness. NB It is possible to combine both shifts of this project.

The projects of Open Houses are based on sustainable principles. Therefore, the activities at Lohra Castle combine aspects of cultural heritage preservation and aspects of natural heritage preservation. The participants of the Workcamps carry out works in the green areas and the forests around the castle, restoration work and collaboration in renovation works.
Luogo
Lohra Castle is situated in the heart of Germany in Northern Thuringia. The castle, which is surrounded by a scenic hilly landscape, is located on the edge of a nature reserve area. Being one of the largest castles in Thuringia, the history of the castle Lohra begins in the Middle Age. The castle is more than 1,000 years old. Today, it includes twenty buildings from different times: medieval fortifications, remnants of a tower from the 11th century, a Romanesque chapel, a manor house from the Renaissance period as well as stables and granaries from the 19th and the early 20th centuries. The ensemble is situated in the centre of a beautiful forest. For years Lohra Castle was vacant. In the 1990s Open Houses started to restore the castle and to revive it by cultural activities. Since that time, a large number of Workcamps, Building Weeks, exhibitions, concerts and other activities with international participants took place in the castle.
Alloggio
All costs linked to the project are covered, including food, accommodation, insurance and transportation during the stay at the project. Travel costs to and from the camp place are not covered. Participants should organise their journey to and from the project place by themselves and on their own expenses. Furthermore, participants should bring their own pocket money.
ACCOMMODATION
In most of Open Houses' camps the volunteers will live at the same places they also work on, what means that they live more or less on a building site. In most of the Heritage Volunteers Projects the accommodation is located in a certain distance to the working site. The accommodation is usually very simple; there are shared rooms with simple beds or mattresses at most of the places. Shower, toilet and kitchen are at the place, but sometimes not in the same building. The equipment is simple but fair. After work, when everybody wants to take a shower, there can be a limit of hot water.
FOOD
The meals will be prepared together as they are part of the community life, what means that every participant will be responsible for the meal at least once during its stay. So it would be very nice if the participants could bring typical recipes from home in order to introduce each other to the preparation of food from all over the world.

Open Houses – rooms open for those who come along.
Open Houses – not empty buildings, but places with visible and invisible traces of history, places which have grown and decayed over the centuries, places which were shaped by those people who lived there long ago as well those who left only yesterday – places which will be shaped by those who live there or who come as a guest.
Open Houses – rooms which want to be filled with dreams and ideas, with meetings and exchange, by people of different backgrounds, different cultures, different generations and different ideas and visions.
The history of Open Houses Network dates back to the mid-1980s, when a group of young people started to restore village churches in East Germany in voluntary work to protect them from decay. The engagement for these buildings united people who enjoyed the freedom these activities provided and who filled these rooms with life again in ways which by far exceed the craftsmen's work done – through exhibitions, concerts, making music together or just sitting by the camp fire.
Meanwhile, rooms free of political and ideological pressure are no longer urgently required; however, places have become rare where people can meet without commercial pressure, free of bureaucracy and institutionalism, free of nepotism and the exclusion which it produces. What should be easy – to go somewhere in order to meet people and to work together – has become difficult. The tightrope walk between, on the one hand, public activities in a monetary and functional sense, and the retreat into private life on the other, is very difficult, and it requires a lot of power and permanent efforts to tackle red tape and financial restrictions.
Free spaces are less and less understood as common property, and are permanently being cut back. The idea of public property seems to have gone out of fashion, and places of common responsible work have become rare.
Open Houses Network tries to create and protect such spaces. In this process, we do not want to be the doers, but be people who have a vision, who want to initiate something, but who also are aware of depending on the co-operation of others. We understand our projects and events as offers – as offers to create space for commitment, for changes, for meetings.

We will fly directly from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq in Greenland. We will stay in Kangerlussuaq from the 29th of June until the 2nd of July. Kangerlussuaq is known as the Arctic Dessert area and is very very different from Qeqertarsuaq.
We will stay at the Old Camp Hostel in Kangerlussuaq. In Kangerlussuaq we will get to know each other and do a lot of planning of the camp activities. You will also get the first sight of the Inland Ice when we go on an excursion to the Russel Glacier.
On the 2nd of July, we will fly to Aasiaat, and from there we will go to Qeqertarsuaq by boat.
The nature in Greenland is in general amazing. In Qeqertarsuaq the area is lush and green, and the weather should be sunny and nice. You can hike, go boat riding etc. in your leisure time.
Hiking in the fells is an amazing and unique experience. You can decide to organize a weekly leisure activity going hiking, fishing etc. on Sundays, which is your weekly day off.
Hopefully, the gym will be accessible to us around the clock. It will also be possible to play football or other sports with the community.

Sleeping facilities:
The Association for Greenlandic Children ensures that you will get a place to stay. We expect you to stay in a shared bedroom with other volunteers of the same sex. Telephone coverage might be scarcely, and you might not be able to use the internet more than once a week for a very short time.
Kitchen + bathroom facilities:
All food will have to be transported by ship. Therefore you should be able to adapt to these local conditions or bring a small stock of goods yourself. It can be difficult to be vegetarian or vegan since many meals in Greenland is based on meat and fish. Therefore you will have to bring some stuff yourself if you need a special diet.
We will make cooking and cleaning teams. The group is responsible for shopping, cooking, cleaning etc. which is also going to take up some of your time every day. So, you should expect long days.

COVID-19:
In regards to COVID-19, it is our ambition to complete our Work Camps this summer, but it is essential for us, that our volunteers feel safe during the time they spend at our camps. This is why we constantly keep ourselves updated on the situation and we follow the Danish government's instructions. Furthermore, we are ready to answer any questions that you might have, and we will keep all our volunteers updated right up until the start of the Work Camp.
As of March 2021, there is a few important things to mention:
- it is free for foreigners to take a COVID-19 test upon arrival in Denmark
- with the current vaccine plan, most Danes will be vaccinated at the end of June 2021
Your Work Camp host will have guidelines on how to handle COVID-19 during your stay, including how to handle isolation and enforcement of government guidelines.
English, as a conversational level is necessary. You will be working with kids five-seven hours a day, so you should find joy in spending time with children and know how to be patient with them. Most of the children do not understand English so you should be open to other ways of communicating.
English will also be the only language spoken. All participants must be willing to speak English, even though being from the same country or having troubles with the English language. Try your best!
We want everybody to feel welcome to join our Work Camp, and that also includes volunteers with disabilities. But we also want to inform you that there might be hills and staircases to/from where you are going to live.
Vegetarian food is available, but it can be difficult to obtain the necessary protein, especially if you do not eat fish. Therefore we recommend, that you bring some extra protein and snacks. We do have access to vegetables, that is mostly frozen and other canned food products.

The Danish NGO ‘Greenlandic Children’ has been making projects for children and youth in Greenland since 1924. We have been doing work camps every summer since 2014.
Association Greenland Children is cooperating with the local community in the town of Qeqertarsuaq.
Qeqertarsuaq is situated on the huge Disko Island just west of the very famous Ilulissat.
Qeqertarsuaq is a small town located on the west coast of Greenland with 841 inhabitants. 207 of these are children at the age of 0 to 18 years. Despite the size of the town, Qeqertarsuaq is in many ways a well-equipped town with a supermarket, a school, a kinder garden, a church etc. However, in many ways, Qeqertarsuaq is also a very remote place.
In 2020 you can only get to Qeqertarsuaq by boat or helicopter. It is quite expensive to go to Qeqertarsuaq. The municipality of Qeqertarsuaq do not get a lot of worldly inspiration, and children are bored and under-stimulated during summertime where the school and the gym are closed.

There is a lot to do: design artistically posters for the actions, set up and take down information stands, accompany political performances. You can also contribute with your own ideas and actions. Participation in blockades is not compulsory, but everyone should take part in the communal tasks.
We believe that campaigns for nuclear disarmament and non-violent conflict resolution are messages worth spreading through the media. We invite you to learn from best practices in peace work and help us spread these examples as peace messages on social media. Your help for translation into different languages is welcome.
Participants will learn interesting things about the history of the globally networked peace movement and its efforts for disarmament and reconciliation. We will exchange experiences about different forms of action for peace. As there will be contact with German native speakers, the work camp is a good opportunity to improve your German language skills.
You are welcome to stay longer at the peace camp in Büchel and participate in the programme of the international week.

We fight with non-violent actions to ban nuclear weapons.
With this work camp, the Peace Workshop Mutlangen e.V. supports the resistance against the last nuclear bombs in Germany. As part of the national campaign "Nuclear Weapons Free", which is supported by almost 80 peace organisations, we participate every year in the non-violent protest at the airbase Büchel in the Eifel. We invite all volunteers to join us to learn more about the peace movement and to support our activities against nuclear armament. During the work camp we will take part in the church action day, the ICAN-IPPNW week and the international week. You will learn a lot about history of nuclear disarmament, confidence building measures and non-violent concepts in activism. In addition to workshops, there will be a bicycle demonstration, storytelling cafés, concerts and hikes, as well as plenty of time for getting to know each other and personal exchange: You can expect an exciting time of working together, learning and having fun in the great outdoors. You can meet active and committed people of all ages and experience a unique atmosphere of community and peace.
The campaign: 20 nuclear bombs are still stored in the military camp at Büchel. They belong to the USA and are stationed in Germany as part of NATO's nuclear sharing programme. In case of emergency, the bombs are flown and used by German pilots on the orders of the US president. Instead of banning the storage and withdrawing the bombs, as required by international law since this year, Germany is modernising these weapons of mass destruction with billions of Euros. The campaign draws attention to the issue with the action presence "20 weeks - 20 bombs". The campaign is part of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017 for its commitment against nuclear weapons.

The projects of Open Houses are based on sustainable principles. Therefore, the activities at Lohra Castle combine aspects of cultural heritage preservation and aspects of natural heritage preservation. The participants of the Workcamps carry out works in the green areas and the forests around the castle, restoration work and collaboration in renovation works.
Luogo
Lohra Castle is situated in the heart of Germany in Northern Thuringia. The castle, which is surrounded by a scenic hilly landscape, is located on the edge of a nature reserve area. Being one of the largest castles in Thuringia, the history of the castle Lohra begins in the Middle Age. The castle is more than 1,000 years old. Today, it includes twenty buildings from different times: medieval fortifications, remnants of a tower from the 11th century, a Romanesque chapel, a manor house from the Renaissance period as well as stables and granaries from the 19th and the early 20th centuries. The ensemble is situated in the centre of a beautiful forest. For years Lohra Castle was vacant. In the 1990s Open Houses started to restore the castle and to revive it by cultural activities. Since that time, a large number of Workcamps, Building Weeks, exhibitions, concerts and other activities with international participants took place in the castle.
Alloggio
All costs linked to the project are covered, including food, accommodation, insurance and transportation during the stay at the project. Travel costs to and from the camp place are not covered. Participants should organise their journey to and from the project place by themselves and on their own expenses. Furthermore, participants should bring their own pocket money.
ACCOMMODATION
In most of Open Houses' camps the volunteers will live at the same places they also work on, what means that they live more or less on a building site. In most of the Heritage Volunteers Projects the accommodation is located in a certain distance to the working site. The accommodation is usually very simple; there are shared rooms with simple beds or mattresses at most of the places. Shower, toilet and kitchen are at the place, but sometimes not in the same building. The equipment is simple but fair. After work, when everybody wants to take a shower, there can be a limit of hot water.
FOOD
The meals will be prepared together as they are part of the community life, what means that every participant will be responsible for the meal at least once during its stay. So it would be very nice if the participants could bring typical recipes from home in order to introduce each other to the preparation of food from all over the world.

Open Houses – rooms open for those who come along.
Open Houses – not empty buildings, but places with visible and invisible traces of history, places which have grown and decayed over the centuries, places which were shaped by those people who lived there long ago as well those who left only yesterday – places which will be shaped by those who live there or who come as a guest.
Open Houses – rooms which want to be filled with dreams and ideas, with meetings and exchange, by people of different backgrounds, different cultures, different generations and different ideas and visions.
The history of Open Houses Network dates back to the mid-1980s, when a group of young people started to restore village churches in East Germany in voluntary work to protect them from decay. The engagement for these buildings united people who enjoyed the freedom these activities provided and who filled these rooms with life again in ways which by far exceed the craftsmen's work done – through exhibitions, concerts, making music together or just sitting by the camp fire.
Meanwhile, rooms free of political and ideological pressure are no longer urgently required; however, places have become rare where people can meet without commercial pressure, free of bureaucracy and institutionalism, free of nepotism and the exclusion which it produces. What should be easy – to go somewhere in order to meet people and to work together – has become difficult. The tightrope walk between, on the one hand, public activities in a monetary and functional sense, and the retreat into private life on the other, is very difficult, and it requires a lot of power and permanent efforts to tackle red tape and financial restrictions.
Free spaces are less and less understood as common property, and are permanently being cut back. The idea of public property seems to have gone out of fashion, and places of common responsible work have become rare.
Open Houses Network tries to create and protect such spaces. In this process, we do not want to be the doers, but be people who have a vision, who want to initiate something, but who also are aware of depending on the co-operation of others. We understand our projects and events as offers – as offers to create space for commitment, for changes, for meetings.

This camp allows participants 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 abovementioned organisations or organised solely by SEEDS. We aim to also involve the local community, so some of our events may be open to the public. We hope participants will also learn how to plan and do their own trash hunting projects back home. This project is based on similar activities around the world, where outstanding results have been achieved with volunteers. One of the two options below is also included in this camp as a hands-on volunteering activity day:A day trip combining a guided tour to the Hellisheioi power station, a trash hunt in the Blue Mountains area; and the Hot River Hike, a hike up a valley filled with hot springs where one can bathe. A day trip to the Reykjanes peninsula, combined with a coastal cleanup in the area.Furthermore, participants may be able to visit the recycling centre SORPA, where a tour of the facilities and a lecture regarding waste management in Reykjavik will be provided. The mentioned activities are dependent on conditions such as weather, pandemic-related restrictions, as well as availability of our partner organisations.This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun.

Throughout the year participants from all over the world come to Iceland for an immersive photography-related learning camp. SEEDS coordinators help the participants to develop their unique photographic skills through workshops and feedback sessions on technical settings, compositional considerations as well as developing conceptual frameworks which progress the participants individual style. Participants will have time to put the theory about photography into practice, walking around and exploring the city. At the end of the camp, the best photographs from each participant are 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 explore Icelandic culture by taking part in it, capturing it and also by displaying their work during the camps. One of our objectives is to deliver environmental as well as cultural messages and draw the attention through pictures made in the camp. Participants should be ready to spend time outdoors walking medium distances during activities and working within a flexible time schedule. Participants will be photographing in their free time outside of workshop hours with images to be discussed at group feedback sessions. Note this project is a learning/sharing camp and not a regular workcamp; it has a smaller work part and puts more emphasis on the personal learning process than on the community impact. We may be able to organise some outdoor voluntary work, but it depends on our partners and the weather. The camp happens around the summer solstice, when the sun hardly sets and the nights are almost as bright as the days.

Here, we pay attention to what we eat, and to reduce our impact on the planet, we try to eat a maximum of local products and we limit eating meat to twice a week.

Participate in the reconstruction of old chalets, to offer vacations to all, does that mean anything to you?
Join us and come discover the Hameau de Vaunières and its natural setting at 1173 meters above sea level ! Vaunières, a hamlet unlike any other ! Lost at the end of the Buëch valley, at the heart of the Hautes Alpes, the association Les Villages des Jeunes has managed, organised, and renovated the residential center of Vaunières since 1964 ! Vaunières was a former small mountain village that today has become a sort of launching pad for local youth and adults, but it’s also a venue used to host French and international volunteers. Vaunières is a vacation destination for many families, tourists, and constituent groups who come to take advantage of the calm mountain atmosphere and the dynamics of the environment. The workcamps that we organise at Vaunières with volunteers from all countries allow us to reinforce the cultural diversity of our engagement and make this site a place that is open to the world, where people of all ages and of all social and cultural backgrounds agree to meet each other and work together while participating in life within a community. We hope that you too, a volunteer from France or abroad, will come with this spirit of openess and collaboration that fuels our project !

During the youth camp kids participate in different workshops about health, safety, culture and enjoy climbing and hiking activities.
