The main goal is to promote the hidden history and culture of the islands from an international perspective. To achieve this, we will organize a ‘Glocal (global-local) Island School Project’ with local students. As part of this program, we will hold lectures on the islands, share ideas about island life, and introduce participants' diverse traditions and cultures to local youth through experiential education.
Participants will engage students in games, share cooking recipes, showcase traditional clothing, and demonstrate dances and songs from their home countries. Through these activities, island youth will enhance their global competence and develop a sense of pride in island life.
Additionally, we will assist socially disadvantaged local residents by delivering meals and helping elderly individuals with household chores such as home repairs and maintenance. During this process, we will listen to their stories, share our own values, and invite them to share international cuisine with us.
Finally, we will host an island promotion competition to showcase the unique values and international aspects of the islands through creative projects and social media posts.
Through these experiences, we hope that you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in diverse cultures, experience real island life, and build meaningful connections with local residents.

Did you know that there are about 3,000 islands in Korea? These islands are filled with various stories. For instance, it was an island where foreigners first visited Korea, and one of the presidents received the Nobel Peace Prize in Korea. Many people have considered islands as isolated places because they are separated from the mainland and historically seen as remote destinations. However, from a different point of view, we can consider islands as the first gateways in Korean history to accept foreign and diverse cultures. They were such open-minded places to embrace diverse cultures and values.
Here, we can discover the cultural heritage from a global-local perspective. From islands where foreign cultures were first embraced, we aim to promote global values and cultural heritage, and introduce the values brought by international volunteers to the island residents. Join us for a meaningful adventure! :)

Progetto
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 6-7 ore e 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 8.00 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 per orientare la fruizione della spiaggia verso forme compatibili con l’importanza del sito (inviteranno al rispetto delle norme comportamentali da osservare, contribuiranno alla tutela dello specchio acqueo antistante la spiaggia, 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. 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.

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.
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.) e sulla biologia della tartaruga marina.
Alloggio
I volontari saranno ospitati in una casa poco distante dal centro del paese.
Requisiti e materiali
Il campo è particolarmente impegnativo, poiché prevede una turnazione continua per garantire il controllo del sito h24. Requisiti: 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…).

The total area was a tea plantation until Independence (in 1948) and after that government took the administration. Some parts were abandoned and some parts were distributed among people. This is a kind of traditional village; some families have been living here for more than 100 years. Agriculture and Tea plantations are the main livelihoods in this area. People who have no lands to cultivate are engaging in other livelihoods such as packing and distribute spices, mushroom plantations, etc. Very few people are working in the city or for government. This area is not a popular destination among the locals or foreigners because of the difficulty in accessing common facilities.

These cleanup tasks may be arranged in partnership with the above mentioned organizations or organized 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 learn how to plan and do their own trash hunting projects back at 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 visit to the Hellisheioi geothermal power plant, a trash hunt in the 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.All the activities are dependent on conditions such as weather and availability of our partners.This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun. No previous experience is needed. Volunteers should prepare to share environmental issues from their countries and be ready to spend time outdoors, walk medium distances during the cleanups, as during other activities and sightseeing. As a part of the project happens outdoors, volunteers should be ready to adapt and be flexible with the work and free-time schedule, as depending on the changeable weather, we may not be able to perform some of the activities (as) planned.

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 have the opportunity to explore Icelandic culture by taking part in it, capturing it and also by displaying their work during the camp. One of our objectives is to empower young people to use photography to draw attention to environmental and cultural subjects and issues.
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.
