🏢 About the local organisation
Our partner, Emma Centre for the World, Peace and Environment, is situated close and on walking & biking distance from the swinging, historic and academic city centre of Utrecht. The Emma Centre is a facility focused on goals which support world, peace and environment.

They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.” The Emma Centre focuses on working towards the ideal of mankind taking care of life on earth as one big family without harming the interests of future generations and other life forms.

🏠 Accommodation on site

📍 About the location
Together with the camp leaders the volunteers will discuss the recreational program. For example, they can explore the beautiful historical city centre of Utrecht by bike, climb the Dom Tower, go canoeing on the canals, visit a museum, or visit other places in The Netherlands. The camp leaders will have some ideas, but of course it is possible for the volunteers to put forward their own ideas for this program! Leisure time will also be spent on the theme: “Sustainability: Create before it's too late!".
