SEEDS Workcamps - Short-term projects
Workcamps are the most common form of short-term volunteering, where a group of volunteers work and live together on a project which has been identified by a local community or working with that community. SEEDS workcamps generally last for 2 up to 3 weeks
The types of the projects developed by SEEDS are mainly nature or environmental oriented, and they can be for instance building of walking paths or hiking trails, cleaning of the coastline, reforestation and erosion control works, construction or renovation of a community building, monument or community centre, ecological research, removing invasive growth (luppina), etc...
There are some social, cultural, study, agricultural, archeological, maintenance projects and others depending basically on the identified need of the local community.
International workcamps bring together volunteers from different nationalities and backgrounds aiming at building up international understanding and therefore encouraging peace while working for an identified need of the local community. Groups' sizes vary between 5 and 30 participants.
SEEDS organises every year workcamps in Iceland; in 2011 we had 100 projects with 1000 participants from 55 different countries. Since 2006, SEEDS has hosted over 3000 local and international volunteers in our projects in Iceland.
