Objectives of the project/program: 

Workcamps serve especially as a mean for mutual communication and creation of new friendships between young people coming from different countries. The overall success of it is dependent on the enthusiasm, open mind, and healthy optimism of individual participants to do something useful together. Workcamps provide an opportunity to explore the potential of an international group of young people who work together and spend their leisure time together. All workcamps reflect the needs of local communities and require the engagement of sponsors (local community or municipality).

Description of project/program: 

The program presents a unique form of a volunteer service that is already functioning for more than 90 years: it connects people coming from different backgrounds who work on micro-projects contributing to the lives of local communities all over the world. Volunteers are involved into activities of different kinds. All the activities have one thing in common – they have a publicly beneficial character. Examples: cleaning of a beach or a forest; work with children, elderly, people with disabilities; renovation of historical monuments; care for animals; organization of a festival; environmental protection; and many others.
