Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
Center for Sustainable Development Goals (an initiative by Sønderborg Municipality) works to inspire sustainable action with the UN Global Goals at heart.
The center is based at Lykkegaard, a 17th-century farm complex undergoing a long-term sustainable renovation towards opening in 2028. Until then, we host events that bring sustainability to life - like Byggefestivalen (the Building Festival): a family-friendly maker festival where people of all ages build creative projects with recycled materials, pro tools, and guidance from skilled craftspeople.
This year, we expect around 1,000–1,500 participants.

The festival takes place at Kær Vestermark - a beautiful 137-hectare nature area near Sønderborg - next to a permaculture garden and the future center site.

Description of work:
You will help build the festival from the ground up. The international volunteers will take part in the construction alongside many other volunteers. Stages, camping areas, bars, workshop tents, a food waste kitchen, and a recycling center will all need to be built.

The Building Festival is being held for the third year. We expect up to 1,500 participants, primarily young people and families with children. Everything will be designed for quick assembly and easy disassembly, to reuse the setup again in 2027.

With our dedicated recycling station, all festival waste must be delivered and sorted. The aim is to keep waste to an absolute minimum and ensure as much material as possible is reused or recycled.

PHASE ONE: PREPARATION
In this phase, the goal is to build all parts of the festival. Since this is the third year we are running the festival, several festival elements have already been created, which we will reuse in the construction process. At the same time, many new structures must be built to ensure the festival continues to develop from year to year. Everything will be constructed in a way that allows for easy disassembly with the aim of reuse in 2027.

PHASE TWO: THE FESTIVAL
During the festival, the Camp participants will be responsible for the Food Waste Tent, including presenting the collected past-date food, ensuring that everything appears appealing and clean, and making sure that everyone uses the facility as intended and planned.

In addition to this fixed task, Camp participants are welcome to take part in the festival on equal terms with all other attendees.

PHASE THREE: DISASSEMBLY AND CLEANING
After the festival wraps up, our goal is to take care of the cleaning, tidying, and dismantling of both the Food Waste Kitchen and the Recycling Station.

As a starting point, no craftsmanship experience is required – but any building skills you do have are welcome. A professional craftsperson will be part of the project to provide guidance and hands-on support throughout the construction process.

To ensure safety, all participants will take part in a tool handling course. In addition to the craftsperson, the camp will have a Camp Leader responsible for practical coordination and creating a good social atmosphere. We also aim to involve local young people from Sønderborg in the project.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:

The Work Camp will be a part of our annual International Table Tennis Summer Camp. The exciting Summer Camp has existed for 18 years and is arranged by B75, which is a value-based table tennis club with professional trainers and players.

During the Summer Camp, 200 trainers and players from all over the world will gather for three weeks of learning, fun, friends-making, and sharing of their common passion for badminton. This year, they come from 43 countries. It creates a great party in the town and the atmosphere is amazing, which we would love you to become a part of.

Description of work:

For the Summer Camp to run smoothly, we very much rely on volunteers, who are interested in helping with different practicalities. Your important effort will make a very positive change for the participants, as you will contribute to the framework of the Table Tennis Camp, which aims at empowering people, developing their skills, and bringing them together towards their common passion for table tennis.

The camp is especially good for you if you like to engage with people in a very international environment, and if you are interested in improving your teamwork and problem-solving skills because the work requires that you adapt to changes quickly.

When it comes to the specific tasks, there will be a rotation between them to make the days vary for all volunteers. These different tasks include assisting in the kitchen, with all practicalities such as cooking and serving the food to the other camp participants. Similar tasks include helping with cleaning assistance or driving shuttle buses to and from the airport, train station, and ferry terminals. Other tasks could be overseeing activities with the camp participants and the smallest children and finally helping in the administration with check-in, check-out, and room preparations.

It will also be possible to be a sparring partner in the Table Tennis Camp and interact with the camp participants. Therefore, it would be an advantage if you enjoy playing table tennis and would like to practice it some more, but no experience is needed. We welcome people at all levels! In addition, it will be possible for you to continue playing table tennis in your free time.

The program
As a volunteer, your work week will consist of 5 working days and 2 days off, though these days will be rotating between you. This means that you might have to work at the weekend, but then you will have time off during the week. Your workday will be no more than 7 hours, and you will be working with local volunteers. Work starts in the morning and the afternoon. Some tasks, like being a part of the administration or driving team, mean you must work at different times during the day.

Description of location and leisure:

During your three-week stay in Northern Jutland, you will also have time to explore the unique nature and interesting attractions in Denmark.

Your Work Camp leaders will help you and the group with organizing these activities in your spare time. It is free to enjoy the beautiful nature of Northern Jutland, but some activities such as museums and galleries might require an extra charge. The host will not cover additional charges.

The Work Camp will be taking place remarkably close to the beach, so there are incredibly good opportunities to go for a swim. It is also very much possible to explore the nearby towns by going sightseeing or shopping. For instance, you can arrange a day trip to Skagen, which is the Northern tip of Denmark where the two oceans meet. Skagen is especially famous for its special light, which has attracted many painters, yellow and red houses, art galleries, delicious seafood, and much more. You can also take a day trip to Aalborg, the third biggest city in Denmark, where you find a large variety of shopping opportunities while enjoying the cozy atmosphere in the iconic and old streets of Aalborg.
