Project and location: In Reykjavik you can easily feel the pure energy at the heart of Iceland's capital city - whether it springs from the underground boiling thermal energy or radiates from the green scenery surrounding the city. Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, space, clean air, nature, culture - and Reykjavik has them in spades. Reykjavik offers both the features of a modern and innovative society and the marvelous traits of a unique natural landscape.
The population of the Capital Area is about 200,000. It is spread across a peninsula offering a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean from nearly every part of the city. In the summer, you can sit by the harbor at midnight and watch the sun dip slightly below the horizon before it makes its way up again.
During this project we will visit specific places in Iceland where nature has shaped and made really beautiful magic stones, afterwards we will convert them into runes in our workshop in Reykjavik. There are different places around Iceland where we can collect the stones. We will explain to the volunteers the history of those places and the importance of the healing energy from the stones. We will visit the following places:
* The volcano in Eyjafjallajokull which erupted on the 20th of March after 200 years of sleeping. The volcano has created rivers of hot lava, this place is for sure unique in the World and there you can experience the pure power of the earth. We will collect new volcanic stones from the lava field. PLEASE NOTICE that we will of course secure the safety of our volunteers and only go to places that are perfectly safe.
* Snfellsnes, where you can find the glacier Snfellsjkull which is famous for the power and energy that many spiritually-minded people sense. It is said to be one of the seven greatest energy centres of the earth.
* Reynisfjara, the black beach of Vik which is without a doubt the most beautiful beach in Iceland.
* The peninsula of Reykjanes which has a lot of hot springs and new volcanic lava.
By visiting those places we will give the opportunity to the participants to travel in Iceland and to discover and learn a lot about the magic of different parts of the island.
Work:
The aim of the project is to give the opportunity to the participants to learn about the myths and legends of Runes and the old Viking religion.

WF44 Strandir - Traditional Festival in a magical place 14.07 - 28.07 ENVI/FEST 8 vols
Project and location:
The area of Strandir is a paradise for nature enthusiasts as for those who simply want to enjoy the pleasure of experiencing a place of complete silence. There you will find seabirds on rugged cliffs, arctic foxes in their lairs, and little fishing villages huddled against sheer mountains where for centuries people have battled with the forces of nature to harvest the ocean's riches.
This is the most remote area of Iceland and one of the most exiting! It is known for the inhabitants' knowledge of magic and witchcraft.
The village Drangsnes is a small hamlet at the head of the Steingrimsfjordur bay. Drangsnes has a population of barely 100 people. the settlement of Drangsnes started populating after 1920`s. a tall rocky outcrop on the shore is called the old woman, or the hag, which is said to be one of the ogresses who turned to stone when the sun came up while the trolls were trying to separate the western fiords from the mainland by a large ditch.
The people of Drangsnes live almost entirely on traditional fishing and farming and are increasingly aware of their heritage and will proudly tell tales of their ancestors' dealings with ghosts and other supernatural beings like trolls, dwarves and elves.
Hornstrandir nature reserve on the region's northern edge is both breathtakingly raw and astonishingly rich in vegetation, on the rim of the inhabitable world. Relics from life in other once-thriving outposts can be seen in places such as the now abandoned herring centre of Djupavik.
The local festival “Bryggjudagar” will take place 17th to the 19th of July. The locals will organize different activities for example traditional music, photo exhibition, singing contest, barbecue, Bonfire and of course a big party. This is also a great opportunity to taste the fresh delicates from the sea, some specialties that you will not find any were else in the World.
Work: We will maintain hiking paths and do other envornmental work in and around the village of Drangsnes. We will also help the locals to prepare the festival and trun it. The work available will depend on the weather condition and that's why we have to be a bit flexible.

Project and location:
In Reykjavik you can experience easily the pure energy at the heart of Iceland's capital city - whether from the boiling thermal energy underground, the natural green energy within the city and around it. Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, space, clean air, nature, culture - and Reykjavik has them in spades. It has the features of a modern, forward-looking society which are complemented by a close connection to beautiful nature. The population of the Reykjavik Capital Area is about 200,000. Reykjavik is spread across a peninsula with a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean on almost all sides.
The world's northernmost capital is framed by the majestic Mt. Esja, which keeps a watchful eye on the city, and the blue waters of Faxafloi Bay. On a sunny day, the mystical Snaefellsjokull glacier appears crystal-like on the western horizon, while mountainous moonscapes spread to the southeast.
Work: WE will have two different tasks in this camp. WF Iceland is renovating houses downtown Reykjavik which will become a centre for the activities related to culture, art and environmental issues inside the organization. This place will have a very intercultural design and it will be used by our volunteers and also by local people willing to participate in our workshops. During the camp we will paint, move things and work on the renovation of the houses, we will also do a little bit of renovation in other houses in Hverfisgata (The name of the street means “The Street of the neighborhood”) this is the street where WF Iceland is located in the heart of Reykjavik. We want to take care of our street and this is also a great way to get to know the local people living in the same street, our idea is to involve them in our work as much as possible.
The other task in this camp is based on art workshops. The volunteers will have different kind of art workshops, percussion, painting, tattooing stones or any other form of art that the volunteers are interested in. We will also visit museums and participate in activities with other volunteers staying in Reykjavik at the same time.
Our social and art manager Antonio Perez is going to be in charge of this part of the project.
Leisure time: Free access to all the modern geothermal swimming pools in Reykjavik.
WF Iceland will organize interesting trips for the volunteers to areas in the West and South of Iceland for a fair prize. One of the trips will be to the volcano Eyjafjallajokull where we will use the heat from the lava to cook some delicious food.

The project is divided into two parts. The first part is the “Small space organic gardening” and the second part is International and traditional cuisine.
Small space organic gardening
WF Iceland has a small community in the centre of Reykjavik where 50 to 80 volunteers are living at each time. The organization is now located in six houses in the same street in the heart of 101 centre Reykjavik. There are gardens between some of the houses and also we have backyards, flat roofs and other open spaces around. We would like to grove our own vegetable, spices and other organic food in that place. We also want to make the area more beautiful and to do so we will plant flowers and trees in the gardens.
Organic gardening is becoming more popular now as people try to live a healthier greener life and spend less money in the process. For those who live in a city or in an apartment with very limited outdoor space or backyards, it is difficult to grow their own vegetables. We want to involve our volunteers in a “small space gardening” and show them that it is possible and that we can grow organic vegetables at our place.
We will visit the Eco village in Solheimar www.solheimar.is , The health clinic in Hverageri www.hnlfi.is and farms in the south of Iceland which can teach us a lot about the topic of this workcamp.
International and traditional cuisine
The volunteers will get to know the traditional Icelandic food and how to prepare it. We will not only cook Icelandic food but also delicious food from many other countries. The idea is to use the green products from our gardens (when they are ready) and also to pick berries, mushrooms, spices and herbs which can be found in the area of Reykjavik and outside of the city. We will also go fishing in a lake in Borgarfjordur which is about one hour away from Reykjavik. The volunteers will also learn how to make different kind of bread, cakes, jam and tea. Several times during the camp we will invite the other volunteers in Reykjavik for a dinner or a small party to taste the delicates that we will make in our Organic kitchen.
Work: We will make the Organic garden, do the preparation for planting, clean the area, gather materials and decide about the design and plot arrangements, than we will select the plants and put them in the soil. The garden has to be taken care of every single day for two or three hours. We will also make a compast and organize the recycling system in the volunteers houses in Hverfisgata.
The volunteers will cook together, study and learn about different food. They will be supervised by the WF staff members, leaders and one of the WF members who is working in one of the best known restaurants in Reykjavik. The volunteers should use their initiative and be creative. We will once and a while prepare dinner and parties for other volunteers in Reykjavik. There will be a lot of food and even more of fun.
Leisure time: We will have free access to all the seven geothermal swimming pools in Reykjavik .
WF Iceland will organize interesting trips for the volunteers to areas in the West and South of Iceland for a fair prize. One of the trips will be to the volcano Eyjafjallajokull where we will use the heat from the lava to cook some delicious food.
Accommodation & Food: We will stay in a nice fully equipped apartment in the centre of Reykjavik. Beds will be provided but volunteers should bring their sleeping bags.

WF182 Creative Minds for the Art of Life - eastern fjords 23.07 - 06.08 ART 12 vol
Project and location:
“Fjarabygg" is an association of villages in the Eastfjords of Iceland. It includes the towns of Eskifjrur, Faskrusfjrur, Mjifjrur, Neskaupstaur, Reyarfjrur and Stvarfjrur, all tiny fishing villages with steep mountains towering just behind the houses. In this area you will see some of the features that make Iceland a unique place in the world: spectacular fjords with a rich sea life, a great variety of birdlife, and countless breathtaking hiking paths. You will explore the area during your stay in the east. Our tasks will depend on the general situation in Fjarabygg, the working site of this camp.
Work: Two weeks of artistic discovery on the theme of a creative mind as the means for exploring our natural identity. The project is open to everybody wishing for acquiring, or refining, the practical and conceptual insight for making art, helped by the inspiring Icelandic nature.
Participants are not required to have extensive art experience: it's enough an interest in art and the desire to find out together the implications of an independent and simple creative mind. Both the seasoned and the inexperienced can equally benefit from the activities, split into practical and theoretical, taking place indoor and outdoor.
We will for example practice pencil life-drawing, composition elements, we will learn to book-bind one's own hardcover sketchbook, experiment with color and abstract/conceptual art using your preferred media, design a symbol/logo, experiment land-art in the Icelandic outdoors and perhaps try out some digital art, photography, and more - according to the group inclinations.
The theoretical part covers, among else, workshops and discussion on language, intuition and perception, quality and quantity, symbol and concept, identity, freedom and authority, and self-understanding.
The project's facilitator will be available sharing his art experience at all times, yet ideally there won't be a teacher, but rather every participant bringing his/her own input on the table contributing to a shared observation. Hopefully these two weeks will bring you new awareness allowing for further creative development.
Participants should also bring their favorite art tools

WF183 Creative Minds for the Art of Life - Western fjords 10.08 - 23.08 ART 12 vol
Project and location: The “Western fjords” are situated in the Northwest part of Iceland, reaching out almost to Greenland - therefore the most westerly part of Europe. The landscape here is majestic, with fjord after fjord, towering above shore and sea, each and every fjord has its own distinctive character and tiny fishing villages nestle at their foot. It is an ideal place for hikers and all nature lovers, in summer and winter alike. Seals bask on the rocks, huge colonies of seabirds are seen and the king of the skies, the white-tailed eagle may be watching over.
Isafjrur is the principal town of the Westfjords peninsula, in the North-West corner of Iceland. The municipality, which also includes the villages Hnifsdalur, Sudureyri, Flateyri and Thingeyri, has around 4.000 inhabitants. The community stretches over 2400 square kilometres, from the beautiful waterfall Dynjandi in the south, to the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in the north, where, amongst other things, one can find the famous cliff Hornbjarg which is one of the largest colonies for seabirds in the North Atlantic.
Work: Two weeks of artistic discovery on the theme of a creative mind as the means for exploring our natural identity. The project is open to everybody wishing for acquiring, or refining, the practical and conceptual insight for making art, helped by the inspiring Icelandic nature.
Participants are not required to have extensive art experience: it's enough an interest in art and the desire to find out together the implications of an independent and simple creative mind. Both the seasoned and the inexperienced can equally benefit from the activities, split into practical and theoretical, taking place indoor and outdoor.
We will for example practice pencil life-drawing, composition elements, we will learn to book-bind one's own hardcover sketchbook, experiment with color and abstract/conceptual art using your preferred media, design a symbol/logo, experiment land-art in the Icelandic outdoors and perhaps try out some digital art, photography, and more - according to the group inclinations.
The theoretical part covers, among else, workshops and discussion on language, intuition and perception, quality and quantity, symbol and concept, identity, freedom and authority, and self-understanding.
The project's facilitator will be available sharing his art experience at all times, yet ideally there won't be a teacher, but rather every participant bringing his/her own input on the table contributing to a shared observation. Hopefully these two weeks will bring you new awareness allowing for further creative development.
Participants should also bring their favorite art tools
