The main task is harvesting various berries and vegetables such as rhubarb, currants, raspberries, Japanese quince, helping juice making and products packaging. But there is also weed control and fertilization with mulch in plantations, mowing grass, cutting branches, removal of bushes and wood chipping, assistance in the construction of various small buildings, vegetable beds and other necessary structures on the site, painting as well. Also, there is ongoing work of planting seeds. Some days work will be done at neighbouring Jariste wine farm https://jaristeveinitalu.com/en that produces wine and cider from Estonian grapes, berries, fruits and apples in the historic tavern of Luke manor.

This is the nineteenth year (since 2008) that SEEDS organises a series of International Photography projects. In 2010 we also began offering these camps for teenagers. Throughout the year, participants from all over the world come to Iceland for an immersive photography-focused learning camp. SEEDS coordinators help participants to develop their unique photographic skills through workshops and feedback sessions on technical settings, compositional considerations, and creating conceptual frameworks that highlight each participants individual style.
TRAVAIL
Note that this is a learning/sharing camp and not a regular workcamp; this project has a smaller volunteer work part and emphasises the personal learning process over the community impact. We may be able to organise some outdoor voluntary work, but it depends on our partners and the weather conditions. Participants will have time to put the theory about photography into practice, exploring the city. At the end of the camp, the best photographs from each participant will be selected for an online exhibition on SEEDS social media. Participants should bring their own digital cameras, lenses, tripods, and laptops, if possible. While learning about photography, the participants have the opportunity to explore Icelandic culture through active participation: capturing it, engaging with it, and showcasing their work throughout the camp. One of our goals is to empower young people to use photography to highlight environmental and cultural subjects and issues.Participants should be ready to spend time outdoors walking medium to long distances during activities and working within a flexible schedule. Participants will be photographing in their free time outside of workshop hours with images to be discussed at group feedback sessions.This camp is open to participants aged 16 to 20. During their stay, SEEDS organises a programme that combines learning, sharing, getting to know Iceland and its culture, and having fun while exploring the city and some of the most stunning natural attractions in the Golden Circle and the Hot River hike excursions.

During the Japanese occupation, this area was renamed Zhongli Street, becoming a major thoroughfare connecting the north and south.The area along the Laojie River(32769;34903;28330;) is known as the Old Street Area, preserving Japanese-style architecture, century-old shops, and a rich Hakka culture. The Laojie River itself has profoundly influenced the lifestyle of the local residents. However, with the passage of time, many local youths and immigrants are no longer familiar with the historical background of this area. To protect this unique cultural heritage, we hope to raise awareness and interest in the history of the Zhongli Old Street area, thereby achieving the goal of cultural preservation.Host OrganizationChung Yuan Christian University(20013;21407;22823;23416;), upholding the Christian ideal of universal love, is committed to the development of higher education with unwavering faith, hope, and love. To encourage faculty and students to participate in society with love and expertise and to empower students to apply knowledge in practice through practical learning, the university established the Service Learning Program Office in March 2007. This program was renamed the Service Learning Center in March 2008, aiming to systematically and continuously promote service learning courses and programs. The Center encourages students to participate in community service, fulfill their civic responsibilities, and cultivate the core competencies needed for future employment.In 2019, we expanded our scope of work by taking over the Taoyuan Youth Volunteer Service Center from the Youth Development Administration of the Ministry of Education. Our goal is to create a youth-friendly volunteer service platform in Taoyuan and to collaborate with schools, community groups, and organizations to encourage youth participation in volunteer service and enhance the vitality of youth volunteer services in Taoyuan.Our website65306; https://sl.cycu.edu.twAims:1.To promote cultural exchange between local and international youth, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of the history and culture of Zhongli Old Street.2.To foster exchange between different international cultures and broaden children s global perspectives.Achievements over the past year:1.Since 2017, the Chung Yuan Christian University Service Learning Center has held numerous one-day local cultural experience workshops to help young volunteers gain a deeper understanding of the local culture.2.In 2022, we will focus on the Zhongli Old Town (Laojie District), organizing a three-day, two-night local international workshop centered around three themes: and

ProjectThis project is organized for local children by The Language School In Down-Town and the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite (ALPS) as part of their annual activities on multicultural issues for youth. Some international teenage participants may join. The common project s aim is to introduce the diversity of world cultures to children and provide them with good practices in intercultural communication using the learning-by-doing method and organizing alternative English language practice. The project gets youngsters familiar with customs and traditions of the countries from all over the world and encourages them to develop their cross-cultural thinking and tolerance as well as global thinking and individual initiative. This summer we offer you to participate in our project called LANDSCAPES . We invite volunteers to support our camp participants learning about a new trend of ecosystems in nature, society, technologies, economy, politics and human relationships. Together, we plan to find out how these complex deeply interwoven ecosystems shape the way we live, learn and thrive, and what those competences are that empower humans to understand, navigate, and positively influence them. Camp participants will try to develop their strategies for a holistic, interconnected view of the world and gain ideas on how not just to survive in a complex world – but to help reshape it toward greater justice, sustainability, and flourishing for all life. Meetings with local and/or international professionals in the field will take place. Thematic photo and video contests for camp participants will be organized.NB It is possible and you are welcome to apply for 2 shifts in a row EST DT1 EST DT2 or EST DT3 EST DT4

This project is organized for international teenagers by the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite (ALPS) on the basis of The Language School In Down-Town as part of their annual activities on multicultural issues for youth. Teenagers from several countries arrive to participate in the intercultural camp where day activities are integrated with local children, while evening free-time activities are held separately and of an optional nature. There is a group of international volunteers who facilitate day activities. Both international teenagers and volunteers are accommodated in the school premises. Thus, the main aim of this work camp is to provide a technical support like household chores and campus patrol, and to ensure a smooth and safe environment at school during the evening hours like pastoral and welfare support and communication for a group of 20-24 international teenagers of 14 to 17 years old.
TRAVAIL
The load of work is split into the Morning and Afternoon shifts for 2 volunteers. There are no working hours but a list of tasks or operations, which are expected to be completed timely, meaning that the key time points for being at the campus logically come from the purpose of the working task according to the camp schedule. The same is about the days-off. There are days that are completely or partially free days with no or few tasks to do, other days may be more intensive involving long stay-in working days. The working tasks throughout the week fall into two main categories, such as household chores (including some simple cooking) and pastoral and welfare support (including urgent night patrol and access to the building). Thus, the volunteer will mainly do some of these: supervise meals and all kinds of sanitary routine, manage behaviour and adherence to policies as well as daily routine and order in bedrooms or facilities supervise campus health and safety orientation, manage evening activity and/or leisure programme, communicate with parents. The work requires high level of responsibility.

Every summer, Emmaus Italy and Emmaus Palermo organise international volunteer summer camps, in collaboration with local associations and young people from all over the world.Emmaus runs the community in a self-managed and self-financing way, through the sale of second-hand goods and the Solidarity Flea Market, and with the help of local volunteers.
