Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The Beaumotte Center works towards social and cultural integration by opening its doors to everyone, without distinction. True to its mission, the association promotes active participation from all individuals, creating an environment where living together takes on its full meaning. In a society marked by individualism and consumerism, Beaumotte advocates the idea that every experience, no matter what it is, is a source of wealth and an opportunity to learn. Here, we open up, enrich ourselves, and share practices and knowledge to build a more supportive world. With this in mind. Beaumotte invites its visitors to overcome the boundaries of socio-cultural differences through collective activities: building walls, sharing recipes from around the world, or painting living spaces in vibrant colors. Together, we cultivate a true community life, with its joys and challenges, where everyone contributes to transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Description of work:
The Beaumotte Center is a place of life where each visiting group is invited to contribute to the collective life. At the start of this year, we need new volunteers full of energy to share moments of conviviality and contribute to meal preparation, join the masonry team, or help with the upkeep of the center.
If the group of participants consists of at least six people, we would like to invite you to combine your energies to help us rebuild a small wooden hut that was used to store our garden tools, which was destroyed a year ago due to a storm

Description of location and leisure:
Beaumotte is located in a small rural village where social activities are few. However, this does not mean that volunteers will feel lonely or bored! At any given time, about 30 people live and work at the Center, with many more passing through regularly. Whether in the afternoons or on weekends, your group will initiate and organize leisure activities. Individual preferences, local possibilities (hiking, multi-sport fields, village visits, etc.), and financial resources will influence your choices.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
SEEDS’ programme combines learning, sharing and hands-on activities. On top of that you get to know Iceland and its culture while having fun, exploring the city, its attractions and stunning nature, which you can experience in possible excursions. Participants should prepare to share environmental issues from their countries and be ready to spend time outdoors walking medium distances (up to 1,5 hours) during activities and sightseeing. Note this project is a learning/sharing camp and not a standard workcamp. This project has a smaller volunteer work part and puts a bigger emphasis on the personal learning process than on the community impact.

Description of work:
During this camp, participants can share their passion for (and learn more about) global & local environmental issues, as well as photography. If you are interested in topics such as climate change, waste management and sustainability, and you also love taking photos, then this project is for you!

One of our aims is to help create more environmentally aware consumers & travellers!
You will visit local projects on environment and conservation. These may include hands-on activities or guided visits, such as outdoor cleanup tasks, a local fauna and/or flora exhibition or an Icelandic culture museum. Some of these activities are dependent on weather conditions, as on the availability of our partners.
You will also have time to put the theory about photography into practice while exploring the city. At the end of the camp, the best photographs from each participant are selected for an online exhibition on SEEDS' social media. Participants should bring their own digital cameras, lenses, tripods and laptops if possible.

Description of location and leisure:

As part of the camp, volunteers help maintain the center through tasks like gardening, renovating the house and other projects such as removing old fences to protect wildlife, marking walking paths, and potentially do forestry work like trimming or planting trees.
This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun. No previous experience is needed. Volunteers should be prepared to share environmental issues from their home countries and be ready to spend time outdoors. Volunteers should be ready to adapt and be flexible with the work and free-time schedule. Depending on the weather, we may not be able to perform some of the activities as planned.

Description of location and leisure:
The accommodation is located an hour drive south-east from Reykjavík. The house serves as an environmental-educational centre and sits under Ingólfsfjall, The Mountain of Ingólfur, with a view of Eyjafjallajökull where the volcanic eruptions began in March and April 2010.
The place is registered as natural Icelandic heritage; the nature, vegetation and birdlife is rich in variety and quantity. The volunteers can enjoy outdoor activities in a peaceful and beautiful location with a small stream and a pond nearby. Hiking trails with maps about cultural heritage can be found throughout the area, which is a popular attraction among both foreign and local visitors.
The nearest town, Selfoss, only 10 minutes-drive away, with 6500 inhabitants, is a centre of commerce and small industries where you find a geothermal swimming pool, shops, museums, cafés and bars.
Additional excursions (e.g. Golden Circle, the South Shore or Reykjanes Peninsula or a day-trip to the city of Reykjavík) can be arranged at discount fares depending on time availability, weather conditions, and the number of volunteers interested.
The weather may be cold or rainy, so we recommend bringing warm and/or waterproof clothes.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
This is the sixteenth year in a row that SEEDS offers projects in the Botanical Gardens in Reykjavík. The Botanical Gardens are an outdoor collection of living plants, founded in 1961 and it will celebrate its 65thanniversary in 2026. The gardens’ main role is to conserve plants for education, research and delight. They conserve about 5000 plant species in eight plant collections, which give an idea of the enormous diversity of vegetation in the northern temperate zone. The garden is open to the public and free of charge.

Description of work:
SEEDS volunteers will be doing general park maintenance and assisting the horticultural staff tending to the collection of perennials, alpine trees and shrubs in the garden. The garden organises guided tours and events throughout the summer, with which the volunteers may assist in their preparation. These special events are all related to the general aim and work of the garden and some of them are carried out at short notice.
The work can be repetitive as general gardening tasks tend to be and most of it is outdoors. The project starts early every weekday: working hours are from 8:15 - 15:00, except on Fridays, when work finishes at 12:00 as a part of an ongoing research into shortening the working week. Volunteers have to be motivated to start work early in the morning, but in compensation they will have more free time in the afternoon.
No previous experience is necessary, but the work requires patience and good physical condition as it may be tiring. As it is outdoors, volunteers shall be ready to adapt and be flexible with the working and free-time schedule, as depending on the weather, we may not be able to perform some of the tasks or activities planned. Weather is unpredictable and it can be cold and/or rainy, be prepared to experience all kinds of weather. We recommend bringing good walking shoes/boots, warm and/or waterproof clothes (underlayers, overcoats, scarves, gloves and hats).

Description of location and leisure:

Additional excursions (eg. Golden Circle or the South Shore) can be arranged at discount fares depending on time availability, weather conditions, and the number of participants interested in joining them.
Weather may be cold or rainy, so we recommend bringing good walking shoes/boots, warm and/or waterproof clothes (underlayers, overcoats, scarves, gloves and hats) as most of the tasks and activities take place outside.
