Travail
The volunteers will get many opportunities for intercultural encounters in this camp related to nature and youth in the countryside. Volunteers should be prepared to present their own country and its culture to local children and youth during visits to local school and youth houses, or when organising international events for the young people. The volunteers will get a chance to get to know the local nature and biodiversity through environmental activities and discussions with local environmental educators.
Logement & nourriture
Modest hostel-type accommodation with a large common space, own sleeping bags needed. Showers in a separate building. Volunteers will prepare their meals together in small teams.
