About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Iceland is at the forefront of renewable energy production, and nearly every home in the country is supplied with heating and energy from renewable energy sources. During your stay, you will be researching this and many more topics….. Your main activity is to develop a curriculum program for environmental education through talks, workshops, activities, courses, meetings, and visits. Update and maintain educational resources and material. Provide workshops to the workcamps remotely or on-site on a daily basis. The work for the majority of the workcamps depends on the weather conditions, when unsuitable to be outdoors, you will be requested to provide activities or workshops for the group. We’re all about flexibility: we expect you to adapt to changes quickly and we encourage you to try new things.

🏠 Accommodation on site

During the workcamps the leaders will share a double or quadruple room in a house fully equipped. Beds are provided, however, volunteers should bring their own warm sleeping bags. Food is provided and everyone is expected to do their fair share of the cooking and cleaning. We provide a well-balanced and healthy variety of food products that includes a wide variety of whole grains, seasonal fruits & vegetables, pantry staples, dairy products, and vegetarian/vegan options. Transportation-related to the workcamps is provided by the organization.

🎒 Leisure activities

The project reflects learning opportunities for the volunteers as well as for our organization and the community where it will take place. By hosting ESC volunteers, we bring another long-term international dimension to the organization with our internship program, educational tours and short-term projects.
