Luogo
Sessa Aurunca è città di antica origine. Sono presenti tracce preistoriche e necropoli risalenti all'VIII secolo a.C. Nel IV°sec. a.C. divenne possesso di Roma e importante centro militare, commerciale e rurale.
Il Parco Regionale di Roccamonfina Foce Garigliano, situato nel cuore della regione Campania, si estende per circa 11000 ettari, tra i territori del basso Lazio del Molise e dell'area urbana di Caserta. Il parco è dominato dall'imponente mole dell'apparato vulcanico del Roccamonfina, più antico del Vesuvio e costituito da un recinto craterico esterno largo 6 km. La composizione dei suoli ha favorito la nascita di splendidi castagneti nella parte sommitale, mentre l'ecosistema costiero è prevalentemente costituito dalla pineta nata durante il periodo della bonifica. Nei pressi della foce del Garigliano svettano i resti della torre di Pandolfo di Capodiferro costruita nel 940 per fronteggiare i saraceni.
Attività formative
Corso di formazione per operatori AIB (Antincendio Boschivo), corso di riconoscimento della fauna e flora del parco.
Con la locale Associazione Astrofili si prevedono attività di osservazione astronomica.
Si svolgeranno visite ai laboratori artigianali dove si produce la mozzarella di bufala per visionare tutto il ciclo produttivo sino allo smaltimento dei rifiuti. Visite ad alcune Cantine dove si produce il vino Falerno vino Nettare degli Dei, patrimonio immateriale della regione Campania. Visita al Museo di Sessa Aurunca e della Civiltà Contadina Conca della Campania.
Visita al Museo Natura Viva che ospita una ricca collezione zoologica rappresentativa della biodiversità degli ecosistemi del pianeta e un allestimento interattivo illustrante le peculiarità naturali e ambientali del Parco Regionale di Roccamonfina – foce Garigliano e del territorio.

Together, we will identify the ways how to improve the matrix of the modern world, how to become a better version of ourselves and how to develop our emotional intelligence. Camp participants will acquire life skills that they will need to create their own codes for personal matrices that will have power to change their life for the better. They are the smart matrices of our personalities, souls, love and success, well-being and happy life. Meetings with local and/or international professionals in the field will take place.

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.

In collaboration with a local NGO, "Youth for Smile," a youth organization, is embarking on an ambitious project to transform the abandoned former orphanage in Lauderi village into a vibrant non-formal education training centre. This workcamp activity aims to engage volunteers in revitalizing the surrounding area and the interior of the building, setting the stage for a future hub of learning and community development.
The project activity will take place in Lauderi village, where the dormant training centre stands as a testament to untapped potential. This picturesque village provides the perfect backdrop for community-driven initiatives, and the youth organization envisions transforming the old orphanage into a lively educational space.
Project Goals:
Revitalizing the Park and Surrounding Area:
Volunteers will work collaboratively to clean and rejuvenate the park surrounding the former orphanage. This includes clearing debris, landscaping, and creating a welcoming outdoor space for the future training centre.
Interior Cleanup:
In addition to the exterior, volunteers will venture inside the building to tackle the accumulated remnants of years of abandonment. This involves removing old and broken furniture, clothes, and other items that hinder the potential of the space.
Community Engagement:
The project aims to foster a sense of community among volunteers and local residents. Through shared efforts, participants will not only contribute to the physical transformation of the training centre but also build lasting connections with the community.

International Evening:
As a delightful addition to the cultural exchange aspect of the workcamp, volunteers are encouraged to bring traditional or typical food items from their home countries. These contributions will be part of an international evening, providing an opportunity for everyone to share and savor a diverse array of flavors from around the world.
Additional Recommendations:
Personal Essentials:
Volunteers are advised to bring personal toiletries, towels, and any specific items they may need for their stay.
Adaptability:
Given the basic living conditions, a flexible and adaptable mindset is recommended. Embracing the simplicity of the accommodation enhances the overall workcamp experience.

Jaunatne smaidam / Youth for Smile is a non-profit, non-governmental youth organization founded in 2005. Our organization is dedicated to fostering the intellectual, creative, and personal development of young people through various initiatives. With a mission to create, experience, and be together, we aim to provide opportunities that empower local communities and contribute to the growth of youth on both local and international levels.
Our organization's primary goals are threefold: creating, experiencing, and being together. We strive to enable local communities to learn, participate, and self-realize (Creating), offer experiences at the local and international levels to promote personal development among young people (Experience), and cultivate an environment where young individuals can develop competencies for the growth of their communities (Being together).
The organization is committed to fulfilling these goals through a range of tasks and programs. These include:
1. Youth Initiatives: We actively develop and promote youth initiatives, fostering favorable conditions for intellectual and creative development.
2. Non-formal Education: Providing young people with opportunities to acquire essential life skills, knowledge, and competencies through non-formal education.
3. Leisure Time Activities: Offering opportunities for young individuals to make good use of their leisure time in meaningful ways.
4. Information Access: Ensuring young people have access to relevant information for their developmental needs.
To address the needs of youth with fewer opportunities, we implement outdoor education and adventure pedagogy through various non-formal education programs. Additionally, our international voluntary work camps program promotes intercultural learning, community development, and peace education.
In low-populated areas, we conduct mobile youth work, providing essential youth services where municipalities may not cover them. Advocacy at the regional level is a crucial aspect of our work, advocating for the quality of youth work and the development of participatory youth policy.
Furthermore, our active involvement in traditional folk and cultural events aims to introduce these aspects to the youth, preserving cultural heritage and fostering a sense of community. DIY workshops are organized to support young people in learning practical skills necessary for life.
While the organization was established in 2005, we have grown to be a values-based youth association with a significant impact on local communities and the personal development of young individuals. Our commitment to creating, experiencing, and being together drives our efforts to empower the youth and contribute to the well-being of the broader community.

This camp will take place for the first time this year. You will be in the middle of the Black Forest (at the gates of the national park of the same name) and support the foresters and trainees in their work.
There are three main tasks for this year:
• Mowing of protected mountain meadows. For reasons of nature conservation, it is not
permitted to drive on these meadows with machines (issue of soil compaction), so manual
labour is required here and everyone is grateful for your support.
• Maintaining capercaillie habitats (removing wood and cutting branches, as the birds need
passageways). The capercaillie is the largest chicken bird in Europe and is threatened with
extinction in Germany.
• Forest maintenance: removing branches from trees (with or without a ladder)
The work will be led by a professional instructor, so no previous experience is needed. You will work around 30 hours per week, somewhere between 8am to 4pm from Monday to Friday with a lunchbreak. You will reach the work place on foot, it's not far.
The camp is perfect for you if you love nature, you will be working outside all day. What's more, the forestry base is remote, so you can spend a lot of time with the others or on your own at the barbecue area or in the forest, meadows or hiking trails around the building. A blessing if you need a break.
Luogo
The Allerheiligen forest district is located in south-west Germany, approx. 30 km from the French border as the crow flies. You will live and work in the middle of nature, in the direct neighbourhood of the Black Forest National Park.
There are many hiking opportunities, some of which start directly from the accommodation (Karlsruher Grat, Allerheiligen waterfalls, national park). Easily accessible with the small buses: Mummelsee, Baden-Baden, Strasbourg, Freudenstadt, summer toboggan runs etc.
Alloggio
The accommodation will be on the first floor in the base building of the forest district. The base building is called “Kriesenhof” and the forest district is called “Allerheiligen”. It will be basic but with all facilities needed, such as a kitchen, a shower, a bathroom, WIFI and a washing machine. Participants will sleep on matrasses, all in one room. Please bring a sleeping bag (and a pillow if needed) with you!
Your group of volunteers will be responsible for grocery shopping and cooking together. The food will be bought with the camp budget and everybody will take turns for cooking, washing the dishes and cleaning.

The Workcamp takes place during the school summer vacation. There will be a children's holiday program in which the children will build a 'Hüttendorf', a hut village, in the forest: Wood will be the core building material. The children become both the architect and carpenter of their own small house. They have the freedom to decide for themselves what their hut looks like and try out
whether it works. Nevertheless some support help is needed, and that will be your task.
So if you enjoy looking after and playing with children, have a bit of manual dexterity, enjoy being outdoors and are willing to communicate with hands and feet (the children speak only German, some may speak a little English), then this camp is right for you. You are welcome to pass on children's songs from your home country, play traditional games from your culture with the children or any other activities you can think of.

NOTE: Please attach a Motivation Letter with your application! We would like to know your motivation to work with children, if you have any experience in this field, and if you speak (a bit of) German. In addition, since you will be working with children, you will be required to provide a certificate of good conduct before the start of the camp.

Dreaming of lavender fields and Provence? Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux offers you a picture-postcard landscape and the chance to get involved in a project that will plunge you into the history of the town's famous quarries...
What do Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, Paris, Lyon, Marseille and New York have in common? It's hard to believe that many of the buildings in these major cities still stand on foundations that originated in this small town in the Drôme region. In the 19th century, the quarrying of stone from the south of France was in full swing. The site had specific infrastructures for extracting and transporting blocks of stone, especially to the Rhône. Mining ceased after the Second World War and the site reverted to its natural state as the years went by. Today, the remains of this activity are still present, and there is a determination to preserve them, in order to pass on their unique history. Thanks to their rich biodiversity, the former quarries could become a sensitive natural area in the near future.
Respecting the site, you will be working to complete an inclined surface on a path that has been damaged by rainwater run-off. On a sloping, wooded and rocky site, you will be creating gutters to allow the water to drain away. This work is a continuation of the projects carried out in 2022 and 2023.
If you love nature, history and travelling, this is the job for you! You don't need any skills, but a good dose of motivation and a good mood will make this project unforgettable.

The town of Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux (population 9,000) is located in the Drôme department, in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region, on the axis of the Rhône Valley, in an area with a Mediterranean climate. Drôme provençale is a tourist region with many assets. As well as plenty of sunshine, you'll find an unspoilt environment and a warm, friendly atmosphere as you wander through the narrow streets of the mediaeval town. Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux is the ideal place to discover the Tricastin, Drôme Provençale and northern Vaucluse. The city itself boasts an important cultural heritage with its cathedral, townhouses and archaeological collections. What's more, in and around the town, gastronomy takes pride of place with the Tricastin black truffle.
On the other hand, don't look for the three castles that gave their name to the town, based on a fanciful interpretation of the term tricastin. However, the town does have a rich history, which is now at the heart of our worksite project. You'll have the chance to discover its secrets through guided tours and workshops. There's also a rich cultural programme during the summer, with concerts, presentations of crafts and arts disciplines, etc. As for leisure activities, you'll be able to use the town's many facilities and organise excursions to discover the wider area (Gorges de l'Ardèche, Montélimar, Grotte Chauvet, etc.).

You will be accommodated in individual tents near the 2003 municipal stadium, which is close to sports facilities (football stadium, city stadium, skate park, watersports complex, etc.) and close to the town centre. The site will be for the sole use of the group, who will have keys to control access.
The changing rooms will provide separate areas for toilets and showers. A room will be equipped for meals and be used as a shelter in the event of bad weather (heatwave, storms). There will also be grassy, shaded areas where you can enjoy the outdoors. Together, you'll help to organise community life (cleaning, activities, etc.) and take it in turns to prepare meals using locally sourced produce.

The former women's concentration camp Ravensbrück was built in 1939 near the small town of Fürstenberg/Havel. Until its liberation in April 1945, over 120,000 women and children, 20,000 men and 1,000 underage young women from the so-called "Uckermark Youth Protection Camp" were imprisoned there. The prisoners came from more than 40 nations. They had to perform forced labor in various sectors, e.g. for SS factories or the Siemens company. Their daily lives were marked by hunger, mistreatment and poor hygienic conditions. Tens of thousands of prisoners were killed. Today, the Ravensbrück Memorial preserves traces and records, promotes remembering and research, and creates a place for active learning and encounters. Every year, international work camps are organized in cooperation with the memorial.

Through landscaping works you will make it easier for residents to hike: for instance you will develop spaces for relaxing or for lunch with picnic tables. You will also participate in making the hiking trail nicer and more attractive so that everybody can enjoy going for a walk there. You will scratch and paint the railings and gates of the city hall over and you will fix urban furniture in the forest so that everybody can fully benefit from the nature around.
Luogo
If it is important to you to remain close to nature while living close to a big city, then it is what you need! Champagne-sur-Seine is located 75 km in the South of Paris and right next to Fontainebleau: you will easily be able to go to the French capital while enjoying the jewels of nature around. Between river and forest, the town is right on the Seine’s edge and is dominated by forest massifs. You will be able to observe the birds at the pound nearby, and if you like to walk you will appreciate the many hiking trails across the region, including this particular one called “Water, fire, stone”.
Alloggio
You'll stay in the municipal gymnasium, divided into single-sex dormitories with sanitary facilities and wifi access. Group living will take place in the Palais des spectacles. You'll have access to a kitchen equipped with a microwave. You'll share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A 15-minute walk will take you to two mini-markets and laundry facilities. A budget will be allocated to the coordinators, and you'll help with shopping and meal preparation, giving priority to healthy, local produce.
