Worldwide Friends volunteers prepare games, songs and materials to present this in a kindergarten or school in order to introduce the kids to different cultures. Volunteers are asked to bring cultural materials like information,pictures etc. from their home countries that can be used in these presentations. The workcamp is divided in two parts: During the first week the volunteers get to know each other by group dynamics. As well volunteers will brainstorm about the different ideas and games proposed for the camp. They will prepare the games and all necessary materials needed for the presentations. We will also use recycling materials. During the second week volunteers will visit then kindergartens or schools in three communities in the northeast of Iceland . The visits will be approximately three or four per project. A session at the kindergartens takes approximately one hourThe workcamp will also concentrate on intercultural learning and exchange. Every evening a different country will cook for the rest of the Group and will be in charge of presenting their origin country and culture in a non formal way. It could be a presentation, games, theater or however you would like to show it. Therefore we recommend bringing food, photos or whatever you think is important and nice for the Worldwide evenings.
Worldwide Friends volunteers stay in an indoor community facility offering basic facilities. Beds are provided, however volunteers should bring their own warm sleeping bags.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 homePlease bring also food, photos and other things from your country for the creation of the cultural evenings
The village of Raufarhofn is the community that lies farthest north in Iceland. It is located in the eastern part of Melrakkasletta close to the Arctic Circle. The population of Raufarhofn is about 200 and most of the people there earn their living from fishing and fish processing. The harbor is very beautiful and partly shaped by nature itself. A wide and untouched open area surrounds the village with a lot of birds and varied vegetation.The winter here can be very unfriendly and cold. Be aware of the fact that the weather can be so bad that it s not possible to leave the house for a walk.Worldwide Friends volunteers have free access to the local swimming pool. Traditionally, natural pools have played an important social role in Icelandic culture.
