Descripción:
The Art and Renovation camp in Reykjavik has two major activities. WF Iceland is currently renovating houses downtown Reykjavik where our volunteers are living and working. The organization is also renovating an old farm 30 km away from the capital city. Since the creation of Worldwide Friends, the organization has been looking for the opportunity to set up a project to renovate and work in old Icelandic farm. The idea of renovating old spaces in the country side of Iceland and especially in areas where there isn t much population is one of the best ideas our organization could develop. In one hand we have the opportunity of give life to an empty and old space, on the other hand we are bringing life back to the area with the spirit and the ideas of International volunteers which will be very much welcomed by the local community. The volunteers will help us with the renovation in Reykjavik and the farm, the work depends on the skills of each volunteer. Volunteers will also participate in workshops related to visual art and/or music.
Worldwide Friends volunteers stay in one of several shared houses offering basic sleeping and cooking facilities in the heart of historical downtown Reykjavik. Volunteers need to bring their own sleeping bag and towels, but mattresses and bed linens are provided. Wireless internet access is provided free of charge, and volunteers also have free access to shared desktop computers in communal areas. The accommodation provided by Worldwide Friends Iceland for volunteers in Reykjavik is located within short walking distance of many urban amenities, including: banks, pharmacies, supermarkets, public swimming pools, restaurants, cafes, libraries, theaters, shops, museums, and bus stations.Food is included for the duration of the workcamp, however everyone is expected to do their fair share of the cooking and cleaning. Since it is always nice to try new and different dishes, volunteers are encouraged to bring along their favorite recipes from home.
Worldwide Friends volunteers have free access to the local geothermally-heated swimming pools in Reykjavik. Traditionally, natural pools have played an important social role in Icelandic culture. Most Icelandic pools offer indoor and outdoor swimming, as well as hot tubs and saunas or steam rooms.On weekends, the central location of the accommodations is ideal for enjoying Reykjavik s amazing nightlife, which is world-renowned for its wide array of bars, clubs, and concerts.WF Iceland will also organise reasonably-priced weekend excursions to some of the most popular, beautiful areas and natural wonders that Iceland has to offer. Excursions include unique Icelandic sights such as glacial lagoons, waterfalls, volcanic and geothermal areas, glaciers, geysirs, lava forests, hot-springs, rhyolite mountain ranges, steam-vents, or even icebergs.
