Descripción:
During this workcamp participants will take part in the production of a video documentary which will be focused on how Icelandic people live and survive in isolated rural areas. It will be a mix of landscape shots and interviews of local people in order to find out how they feel about living there and what they think about international volunteers coming to the village. Another part of the project will be focused on the Auroras Borealis. During this time of the year it is very easy to see and experience this amazing spectacular phenomenon. Volunteers will be involved in a TIME- LAPSE project in order to catch the lights and have a common visual arts project.During this time of the year the weather in Eskifjorour can be very unfriendly and cold. We strongly recommend to bring really warm and waterproof clothes. You should also be aware of the fact that the weather can get so extreme that it will not allow us to go out of the accommodation. Don t forget to bring your cameras and tripods since big parts of the project are focused on Auroras hunting. The tripod is an essential tool to keep the camera working in a long exposure. You will not be able to enjoy and work in this part of the project without tripod So do not forget it
Accommodation during the workcampIn a community centre called Knellan which is located in Eskifjordur. Mattresses will be provided and everyone is asked to bring his/her own warm sleeping bag. A limited bandwith of Internet is available. We will have access to showers at the local swimming pool and sports centre. FoodFood is included for the duration of the workcamp, however everyone is expected to do their fair share of the cooking and cleaning. For the days after and before the workcamp volunteers need to provide their own meals. 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 pool in Eskifjorour. Traditionally, natural pools have played an important social role in Icelandic culture. Most Icelandic poolsoffer indoor and outdoor swimming, as well as hot tubs and saunas or steam rooms.
