Camp Askov Folk High School

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

ActionAid Denmark is a movement that fights for a more just and sustainable world. A world without discrimination, climate crises and poverty. We do this in Denmark - and in more than 45 countries around the world.

We work for democracy and influence for vulnerable and underserved people deprived of their rights. We support young people in fighting for their rights. With a strong voice, young people all over the globe can help change the world and build democratic, sustainable societies.

💼 What the programme involves

The purpose of the Work Camp is to help out at school with projects that the staff normally have little time to do. The school wants to share their place with young people, who are curious and interested to learn something about manual works as well as getting to know a little part of Denmark and the Folk High School tradition. The work will vary during the Work Camp and includes maintaining the park, building projects, repairing, painting buildings etc. The working hours are daily from 8.00 – 15.00. You will have Saturday and Sunday are free.

This means that there are lots of interesting places to visit in the area, and it is possible to go to all these places by train or bus from Vejen.

⚠️ Requirements

To participate in this Work Camp, we require you to provide: A clean criminal record in English

In regards to COVID-19, it is our ambition to complete our Work Camps this summer, but it is essential for us, that our volunteers feel safe during the time they spend at our camps. This is why we constantly keep ourselves updated on the situation and we follow the Danish government's instructions. Furthermore, we are ready to answer any questions that you might have, and we will keep all our volunteers updated right up until the start of the Work Camp.

We expect from you, that you want to do manual work, are curious about learning, are responsible and are a decent and nice person. The work will mostly be outdoor, also if it’s raining, so bring practical clothes.

English will be the only language spoken. All participants must be willing to speak English, even though being from the same country or having troubles with the English language. Try your best!

The work camp is manual work, so, unfortunately, we cannot take volunteers that are in a wheelchair or has a hearing or visual disability. If you have a disability that does not limit your ability to do manual work, then you are more than welcome.
