RAUFARHEFN i NEAR TO THE ARCTIC CIRCLE

the purpose of this camp is very diverse. During these camp volunteers will be able to cooperate in different tasks. Depending to the season or month where volunteers will participate in the camp the themes will be different. WF owns a center in the village. During the first month of the summer the camp will be more focused on cultural activities for the people and the youth of the village. Activities such as cultural coffees , international evenings, workshop which volunteers can develop, renovation work such us painting and cleaning the House and visual arts project such a sharing photography knowledge s, video filming and editing. During the last 2 months of the summer volunteers will work more on environmental tasks such as cleaning the coast line. During this time the local Youth goes back to school and is more difficult to gather people for cultural evening. Another reason to avoid environmental work during the first 2 months is due to the migrant birds known as CRIA in Iceland. About this time they are nesting and is not good to disturb the areas. At the end of August the fly back again and is perfect time for coastline cleaning. Also during this time volunteers will have the chance to share photo skills and video and edit and produce visual arts materials to be use afterwards on our website.This work camp is a way to enjoy an amazing time in Iceland with other international volunteers and to have an incredible experience where participants share their knowledge with each other while they are exploring creativity, environmental issues and intercultural learning.
