About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Krýsuvík, located on Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula, is a geothermal and volcanic area within the UNESCO-listed Reykjanes Geopark. This ESC project focuses on developing local, organic, and sustainable agriculture. Volunteers will renovate greenhouses, cultivate vegetables and fruits, and prepare the land for future farming. Key tasks include land restoration, erosion control, composting with organic waste, and planting trees. The area covers 300 hectares and includes old tree plantations to monitor. Volunteers will also help improve the natural surroundings, making them accessible and safe, while supporting biodiversity in this unique Icelandic landscape. This is a learning exchange project where everyone contributes knowledge, shares experiences, and grows as environmentally conscious global citizens.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in a shared house with 10 rooms (3–4 people per room), kitchen, bathrooms, Wi-Fi, and laundry. Beds and sheets are provided; bring your own sleeping bag. Meals are included, and everyone shares cooking and cleaning duties. The food is healthy, mostly vegetarian, with vegan options, focusing on sustainability. Volunteers are encouraged to share recipes and explore eco-friendly living while enjoying a collaborative and intercultural experience. A minibus will transport volunteers from and to Reykjavík (BSI station) on the first and last day.

🎒 Leisure activities

This project focuses on preventing global warming, promoting sustainability, and caring for the land. It’s a learning and exchange experience where everyone shares knowledge. Participants will explore environmental topics through workshops, discussions, and visits, covering themes like renewable energy, food waste, and sustainable lifestyles. It’s a chance to become an eco-conscious traveler while enjoying Iceland and connecting with international volunteers through creativity and intercultural learning.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
