📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

SEEDS is an Icelandic non-governmental, non-profit-organisation with international scope. Our main field of activities are related to the promotion of volunteering and cultural understanding through work on solidarity causes, nature-oriented, outdoor and environmental issues. The main objective is to raise awareness about social, cultural, environmental, and artistic issues, both with project participants (short- and long-term volunteers) and the local public, through workcamps and educational/awareness camps. We host informal learning camps in Reykjavík all year round. During the summer, nature and outdoor camps are organised all over Iceland. The following roles are available: Public Relations & Communications Volunteer, Environment Camp Leader, Photography Camp Leader. Applications are processed via email, please write to [email protected] with the following subject: SEEDS Iceland ESC Winter 2022.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in a shared flat in Reykjavík, walking distance from the office and city centre. Food will be provided by SEEDS in Reykjavík. While in camps, accommodation is provided by the local host. Facilities may vary according to the facilities available. SEEDS ensures that hosting conditions meet quality standards, so that volunteers enjoy a good and safe place to live in the camps. In the camps happening outside of Reykjavík, the local project host will be in charge of providing food (Summer season only).

🎒 Leisure activities

All volunteers have the opportunity to attend on-arrival training provided by the Icelandic National Agency. Furthermore, SEEDS will organise on-arrival project-specific orientation training to provide tools and theoretical knowledge combined with practical tasks. Volunteers will be introduced to ESC, SEEDS as the hosting organisation, Iceland as the hosting country, intercultural awareness and leadership. New volunteers receive support from the project manager and peers while learning about SEEDS’ activities and building confidence within a comfortable environment.
