CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR IN EAST OF ICELAND

We will live together and create a cosy atmosphere in Eskifjordur. One of the tasks is to decorate the area where our house is located by putting up lights and Christmas decorations made out of recycling materials. The main idea of this camp is to celebrate Christmas together and to promote peace and friendship among the group trough intercultural learning and exchange. During this camp the volunteer s main goal will be to edit a special edition of WF Magazine UNA related to Xmas and volunteering in Iceland. AS WELL During this time of the year it is very easy to see AURORA BOREALIS and take photos of them. We will check every day the weather forecast and as well the aurora forecast in order to find the best moments to enjoy this amazing phenomenon. We will also show you basic settings to take photos of it and we will create and electronic post card together to be post in Facebook and in social media during the camp.During this time of the year the weather in the East can be a little bit cold. We strongly recommend you to bring really warm and waterproof clothes. Don t forget to bring your cameras and tripods if you have one since big parts of the project are focused on Auroras hunting. The tripod is an essential tool to keep the camera working in a long exposure. The third part of this workcamp will 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 Friends 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 they are exploring creativity, environmental issues and intercultural learning. To keep in mind, don t forget your cameras and tripods if you have one. A Laptop could be very useful as well. Really warm clothes since we are going to a very isolated place which is very cold in winter. Please bring also traditional food from your country, photos and other things
