ENVIRONMENTALLY AWARE and MUSIC FESTIVAL

Please note this project is not a standard workcamp but a learning/sharing camp, in which everybody is expected to contribute with their own knowledge and experience. Its main focus is to learn about different aspects of environmental and sustainability issues through a selection of workshops, discussions, and visits. Topics may include issues like renewable energy, food waste, and sustainable practices such as collaborative consumption or veganism. Over 2 million tourists come to Iceland every year and leave a mark on the country. This camp will help you to be an environmentally aware traveller and consumer. Participants also get the chance to visit local projects focused on the environment, such as a visit of a local recycling centre. The group will also visit a geothermal power plant and have a guided tour of the facilities via interactive multimedia installations, wall displays and presentations to learn about Iceland’s geothermal energy utilization. The participants may also get a chance to improve the local environment through hands-on volunteer activities. In most cases, the camp includes a day or two of voluntary service but in some cases it will not be possible, as the weather does not always allow activities to take place outdoors. This is a camp that combines learning, sharing, exploring Reykjavik, and having fun.
