The heart of the SElheimar ideology is to give all individuals a fair chance and to maximize their potential. By focusing on individuals possibility instead of their limitations, SElheimar aims to create the space for each resident to take every opportunity that arises for each person to grow and develop. Versatility is the strength of SElheimar so people with special needs that reside here will always be the center of the community. This works through the idea of reverse integration: those without special needs adapt to the abilities of those who do, they can work together to make their community of an equal and sustainable one. The foundation of the ideology of SElheimar derives from the visions and lifework of Sesselja herself. The main work in this camp will be in forestry called Eilur and also in the greenhouses which are called Sunna. Volunteers will be working in the greenhouses planting and harvesting vegetables, doing weed control and sometimes you will also be gardening.

One of the most famous landmarks in Taiwan, the impressive Xiluo Bridge has stood on the river for 68 years, providing visitors with stunning views of the sunset.For those looking to experience typical Taiwanese culture and history, Xiluo s old street is a must-visit destination. Between 1925 and 1940, almost 200 western-style street-houses were built on Xiluo Old Street. The historical buildings on Yanping Road have witnessed the cultural development and business prosperity of Xiluo throughout the years. The Louyoung Culture and Education Foundation aims to protect these historical buildings and promote Xiluo s culture and art, ultimately improving the quality of life in the area.Visitors to Xiluo can learn Mandarin Chinese speaking and traditional Chinese Kung Fu, experience the Taiwanese Puppet show, learn handcraft skills, and even make friends with the local people. There is also an opportunity to visit the primary school for a culture exchange or to teach English, as well as attend the community college.To further enhance the dynamic of the city, international visitors are invited to join the social work. This opportunity provides not only voluntary work but also a fantastic chance for cultural exchange and learning about Taiwanese culture.
