During the work at the castle, the aim is to raise awareness about the impact of abandonment, the passage of time and some human actions on the historical and archaeological heritage and the importance of its preservation and recovery, through an activity and an active attitude of respect for the heritage and for its environment.
The hours of work in the castle are carried out in the morning and outside, during which the various archaeological excavation techniques will be made known, according to the composition and nature of the remains that come out, and the registration systems that are used. At the same time, cleaning tasks and knowledge of the various archaeological materials recovered will be carried out.
The work will be organized this way: small groups will be formed, part of one of which, in a rotating manner, will carry out tasks of cleaning and classifying the archaeological material, while the rest will each excavate one of the sectors described. Depending on the speed of the progress of the tasks, the opening of a new sector of excavations can be considered.

The work camp, like the other activities organized by the GEPV, takes place at Escola Salvador Espriu. During the summer, the school adapts in order to carry out all the activities.
It is located on the outskirts of the village, with a lot of green areas nearby.
All participants will be living in the same space (the school gymnasium) and the room will be shared with no gender separation: the sleeping area will be equipped with mattresses and wardrobes for all participants. However, it is necessary to bring a sleeping bag and a pillow.
For personal hygiene, volunteers will use the school's changing rooms, which are equipped with showers and sinks, and the changing rooms are going to be divided.
It's important to bring clothing suitable for high temperatures. With the sun shining bright, lightweight and breathable fabrics are key to staying comfortable throughout the day. It's also wise to pack a few layers just in case the weather turns slightly chilly, especially during the evenings or early mornings.
All the meals provided will be prepared by an external chef and the food is going to be prepared in the school kitchen. Adjacent to the kitchen space is the dining hall, where meals are typically served. If anyone has any dietary restrictions or is vegetarian, the organization will accommodate volunteer needs. During the volunteering work, there are going to be breaks for snacks.
There is Wi-Fi, but it’s not working well. However, there is electricity in the work camp.
There are no washing machine or dryer facilities available on-site. If volunteers wish to clean their clothes, they will need to do it by hand.

Together we will continue to expand the mine tour route. The aim of this project is to highlight the discharge chimney, which allowed the dumping of fill into the wagons, at the time when the mine was still exploited (from the medieval period until the 20th century). To do this, there will first be the removal of backfill at the top of the chimney which will be followed by the construction of a dry stone wall to support the vaults. Secondly, we will build a small stone staircase.

This is the 26th year (the year after big jubilee, and 24 year short for the next big one) that this camp has been active in YRS and this long-lasting tradition speaks for itself. After 20 years, the Glossy Ibis was spotted in the Obedska pond, bird that is so important to this wetland area. It is one of the few places in Europe where you can see it and that's why the role of volunteers is so crucial in helping to maintain the area.
The work consists of taking out invasive species and bushes while cleaning up the wetland soil that enables it to be inhabited by various species. It is ecological project on a larger scale, so keep in mind that you will have to "destroy" a lot of small trees and plants in order to make space for the other ones (that are not so "agressive"). It will give the opportunity for diversity, although it might not seem like that, so for those who can't stand to look and do that, this will probably not be the right place.

Kupinovo is a village located in the municipality of Pećinci, Serbia. As of 2011 census, the village has 1,866 inhabitants. It is near the famous biodiversity area, the Obedska bara (Obedska pond or bog). Kupinovo is a place rich in cultural and historical sights. The most interesting are: Kupinik Fortress, a medieval fortification from the 14th century, the Church of Saint Luke from the half of the 15th century (the oldest Serbian church in the area), the Church of Mother Angelina from the 16th century and the ethno-complex with objects of folk architecture.
The end of village is the beginning of a huge forest, so pleasant walks can be taken daily. Also, the important river Sava is very near, so going to its banks, can also be one relaxing leisure activity. Swimming is possible, although the beach is not big and decorated.
Since the village is not full of activities and local youth is not numerous, days can be really long there (which suits to some people that seek a quiet place to have rest of fast civilization, but is terrible to the others who want constant dynamic constellation), so be aware of it. Depending on the group preferences, different activities can be organized. At least one visit to Belgrade (capital of Serbia and jewel of world culture) will take place (there are many buses during the day).
In surroundings there are few museums and aqua-parks, but the transport is not great, so some creativity and flexibility in planning is always welcome!
In every case, the project can be wonderful, but also boring, it is up to the group (it is the best and worst reviewed camp we have, depending on year and every person's point of view), so we recommend you only to bring patience and smile, because with them you will be in the first part, among those who had unforgettable adventure in remote Serbian village with friendly locals!

PROJECT: Rock Farm is a therapeutic growing project
open to everyone, restoring both the landscape and people through an innovative market garden model. We grow fruit and vegetables using regenerative, permaculture, and no dig principles, with absolutely zero pesticides or herbicides. We are at the cutting edge of embedding productive crops in a forest garden ecosystem, which sinks a large amount of carbon into the soil instead of emitting it and provides the backbone of our sustainability and therapeutic curricula. Retreats, camping, workshops and horticulture courses are also available at Rock Farm, especially for marginalised people.
Rock Farm is part of One Church Brighton, an organisation with several social projects in and around the Brighton area. Rock Farm grows produce on six acres of community land in West Sussex, offering access to horticultural therapy and community gardening for a range of volunteers and vulnerable groups.

I campi di volontariato si svolgono nella spiaggia dell’Isola dei Conigli, zona A di Riserva Naturale e sito di deposizione della tartaruga marina Caretta caretta. I campi hanno una duplice finalità: contribuire alla tutela della spiaggia, intensamente frequentata a fini balneari, in modo da garantire le condizioni ambientali idonee all’ovodeposizione di Caretta caretta, controllando l’impatto antropico sul sito; sorvegliare e proteggere i nidi di Caretta caretta, dalla deposizione alla schiusa. Questi campi sono una grande occasione per quanti, appassionati della natura, vogliono prendersene cura svolgendo attività utili ed entusiasmanti, in uno dei luoghi più belli di Lampedusa e del Mediterraneo, meritevole di essere salvaguardato per la sua bellezza e per la sua grande importanza naturalistica.
Lavoro
Il campo prevede lo svolgimento di turni giornalieri di 6 ore circa e, all’occorrenza, turni notturni di 8–10 ore. I turni giornalieri sono finalizzati al controllo della balneazione, mediante sorveglianza ed attività di informazione e sensibilizzazione dei bagnanti, in modo da far rispettare i regolamenti vigenti nella riserva. Dalle 8 alle 20.00 i volontari si alterneranno per coprire due postazioni fisse: una all'ingresso della Riserva e una sulla spiaggia. All'ingresso, i volontari forniranno informazioni ai visitatori e forniranno supporto agli operatori nelle attività di controllo degli accessi alla spiaggia. In spiaggia, i volontari sorveglieranno gli eventuali nidi deposti, saranno punto di riferimento per quanti vogliono conoscere la biologia riproduttiva di Caretta caretta e svolgeranno attività di sensibilizzazione nei confronti dei turisti (inviteranno al rispetto delle norme comportamentali da osservare, effettueranno la pulizia dell’arenile, ecc.). I volontari, inoltre, collaboreranno nelle attività di rilevamento dei dati sulla fruizione e saranno di sostegno agli operatori della riserva per il rilevamento dei dati sui nidi di tartaruga e sui piccoli. I turni notturni si svolgeranno presso la struttura ubicata all'ingresso della riserva e sono finalizzati ad impedire l’accesso in spiaggia di eventuali visitatori durante la notte, che potrebbero pregiudicare gli eventi di nidificazione della tartaruga. Durante le schiuse dei nidi i turni notturni si svolgeranno in spiaggia. I volontari parteciperanno anche alle attività di salvaguardia e sorveglianza (diurna e notturna) di eventuali nidi deposti in altre spiagge dell’isola che rientrano nelle competenze dell'Ente Gestore della Riserva. I volontari, a turno, si occuperanno anche della preparazione dei pasti e della pulizia dell’alloggio.

Molto più vicina all’Africa che alla Sicilia, Lampedusa appartiene all’Arcipelago delle Pelagie. Nel 1996 la Regione Siciliana ha istituito la Riserva Naturale “Isola di Lampedusa”, gestita da Legambiente Sicilia. L’area protetta si estende per circa 360 ettari lungo un’ampia fascia incontaminata della costa meridionale dell’isola ed è finalizzata alla conservazione delle espressioni più significative della fauna e della flora presenti sul territorio. La spiaggia dei Conigli è stata per anni oggetto di ogni forma di abuso e degrado, ma grazie agli interventi di recupero ambientale, controllo e sensibilizzazione dell’Ente Gestore oggi è un modello di gestione e promozione di un turismo sostenibile, che ha saputo coniugare conservazione della natura con la fruizione del territorio.
I volontari troveranno un responsabile al Porto o Aeroporto di Lampedusa. null
Attività formative
All’inizio di ogni campo i volontari parteciperanno ad un incontro formativo presso la sede della Riserva (tenuto dal personale della Riserva), durante il quale verranno fornite le principali informazioni sull’area protetta (storia, caratteristiche, regolamento, ecc.), sulla biologia della tartaruga marina e sulle attività che si svolgeranno durante il campo.
Alloggio
I volontari saranno ospitati in un appartamento ubicato in centro.
Requisiti e materiali
Il campo è particolarmente impegnativo, poiché prevede una turnazione continua per garantire il controllo del sito h24. Buona attitudine a camminare; buone condizioni fisiche, capacità di svolgere le attività anche con particolari condizioni climatiche (essere in grado di trascorrere diverse ore sotto il sole, ma anche in presenza di vento, umidità, pioggia, zanzare…).

You will have two main tasks on this site: Initially, you'll give new life to the building's shutters by stripping, repairing, repainting and refitting them. Next, you'll be helping to create a space dedicated to bicycle repairs. After clearing and preparing the area, you will work with the association's employees to design the layout of the new workshop. It will be a place where local residents can come and repair their bikes with the help of a specialist volunteer.
Secondly, you'll be taking part in the association's new season and the reopening of the public. You'll be leading workshops to help people discover cycling and encourage soft mobility. You'll be helping visitors repair their bikes, giving them advice, and offering introductory courses suitable for everyone.No previous skills are required: you'll learn how to clear the undergrowth, sand, paint and repair bicycles throughout the project. An unforgettable multi-support project, combining renovation, creativity and sharing!

The aim of this workcamp is to preserve the natural reserve area surrounding called "Fonts del Rio Algar." More concretely, the work will be mainly dedicated to parks and gardens maintenance or ?arboretum?: removing the over-grown grass, weeding some parts of the grasslands and the edge of the woods, maintaining footpaths. Volunteers will also take part in the clean-up of some areas of the reserve where building waste has been found, and if time allows it, they will carry out some painting works around the centre.
There will be other additional tasks to change the daily routine of the volunteers. Volunteers might participate in projects using recycled materials, such as sculptures, murals, mosaics, crafts, artistic activities, or other initiatives requested by the local town hall. Also, here may be a day of social work with the youngsters of the town in the local youth center, depending on availability and planning.
