About the project
OUR ORGANIC WORLD
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
ActionAid Denmark is a movement that fights for a more just and sustainable world. A world without discrimination, climate crises and poverty. We do this in Denmark - and in more than 45 countries around the world. We work for democracy and influence for vulnerable and underserved people deprived of their rights. We support young people in fighting for their rights. With a strong voice, young people all over the globe can help change the world and build democratic, sustainable societies.
💼 What the programme involves
This year we will focus on finishing the work on our Off-Grid House.
You should expect to be outside every day and work with garden tools and building up parts. This could be done by making flower beds for herbs and flowers, by building water channels for watering, or by digging a chamber in the ground for keeping vegetables during winter.
THEREFORE, it is garden work - all done in a sustainable way, using nature, for nature. We believe in being very aware, green and organic in our thoughts and talks, and in our way of living at the school.
There will be a lot of different jobs to do with this focus. It could be making outside showers, heated with energy from the sun, or finishing a steam bath. You should be prepared that all project we do will be focusing on environmental and green solutions. During camp, we will take time to debate sustainability - not only as an environmental issue but also on all levels - including sustainability among people and cultures. The normal workday is 6-7 hours.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Sleeping facilities: You should expect to stay in a tented camp in the middle of our garden. It will also be possible to stay in some of the dorms and rooms if they are available.
Kitchen/bathroom facilities: You will have full access to the showers and toilets at the school for all three weeks.
🍲 Food
The food is mainly organic and is served three times a day by our kitchen staff. You should expect to assist after dinner, by cleaning the dishes. At the weekends, you will take part in cooking the dinner. Let us know if you are vegetarian or vegan.

🎒 Leisure activities
You will have free access to our different workshops during the camp, including recycling design, music, art and gym workshops. Bicycles can be rented for the whole stay.
⚠️ Requirements
Please be prepared for practical work.
Volunteers are expected to follow the rules of the school. We want to make sure that you appreciate, that our Work Camp is not a party camp, - but a camp where we want to share our cultures. We do have our own parties though.
ℹ️ Additional information
The school is a folk high school and will have students and course participants (50 people from approx. 12 different countries) during the Work Camp. They have their own program but there will be many opportunities for volunteers to interact with the students, especially during dinner and through different social activities during the evenings and weekends.
There will be two camp leaders who are former students from the school. There will be different work leaders to teach you how to build and work.
