During this work camp volunteers will develop different task related to renovation and maintenance of our houses in the East of Iceland. The work will depend on each volunteer skills and knowledge but it is focus on task such as painting, cleaning, fixing small things and basic knowledge of carpentry and construction. It is time here in Iceland during the winter to prepare our accommodations for the summer. This camp is extremely important for us and for our summer volunteers. In addition to this work winter time means in Iceland AURORA HUNTING. If you like photography, share an amazing time with friends from all over the world and the northern lights this camp will suit you perfectly. During the camp we will check out regularly during the nights if Aurora borealis is happening and we will prepare our self to able take photos of this amazing and unique phenomenon. It is very important to have your cameras with you (only cameras that work in long exposure will catch those lights) so don t forget your tripod and camera. We will be able to offer you a small workshop for night scenarios photography. The photos of course will be for your personal use and fun but we will also keep the best photos from you to use afterwards for brochure, websites and social media. We will also concentrate on intercultural learning and exchange. Every evening a different country will cook for the rest of the Group and will be in charge of presenting their origin country and culture in a non-formal way. It could be a presentation, games, theater or however you would like to show it. Therefore we recommend you to bring food, photos or whatever you think is important and nice for the worldwide evenings.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 exploring creativity, environmental issues and intercultural learning. If the weather conditions are good than we could also do some environmental work.
