SEEDS 036. Djúpavík - Where the northern road ends!
05.06.2014
In a magical place, settled in the well-known yet little populated area of the West fjords, both history and nature are intertwined, flooded by an enormous quietness which just might be broken up by the rev of a lonely car, or the pure sound of the wind.
It is not just the possibile to see se. . .

Ferðasaga - Króatía, "United For Social Inclusion"
09.10.2013
Ég fór til Zadar, Króatíu í ágúst 2013. Ferðalagið tók mjög langan tíma, það skemmtilegast við það var að þú fékkst að kynnast hinum Íslendingunum betur og það var ótrúlega gaman að sjá hvað það að vera frá sama landi og tala sama tungumál sameinaði okkur, við náðum mjög vel saman frá fyrstu mínú. . .

If somebody would ask me, what is the first thing that comes into my mind when I remember my last workcamp, it definately is - sun! But a big, big and very warm one. Actually, before this workcamp, I thought, that in Iceland good weather can stay for maximum 3 days. I was sooooo wrong.

On Sunday, the 14th of July, six excited and motivated young people met in Reykjavik. Together we travelled to a farm in the West of Iceland. We lived twelve days with a big and lovely family in a very beautiful valley.

22.07.2013
It all started with a fog – incredibly big one. The more closer to work place we got, the more foggier it went. When we got out of the car all there was to see was a house with a red roof and nothing else. Just fog. Welcome to Blafjoll!
The workcamp took place in the skiing resort near from R. . .

We usually think that we only can learn in the schools, in the colleges, may be in our homes when we are kids. We always relate any kind of learning with the formal education and its formal methods. But then, you arrive to a farm in the South of Iceland and a family of farmers teach you in only t. . .

Humans are a very small part of this planet and are not the only beings who are existing here. The variety of living creatures is so wide that it makes me think many times, how we all together can live in harmony and balance? It is possible but requires a lot of understanding and open – mindednes. . .

This is how a typical conversation with a tourist starts when you encourage him to support the "Meet us - Don’t eat us" campaign. Coming to Iceland to participate in this workca. . .
