    Project Location: Scoured by Ice Age glaciers, the dramatic east coast boasts long, narrow fjords with steep sides and jagged peaks which contrast with inland fertile farmlands. Natural harbours mean picture-postcard fishing villages and seemingly never-ending roads cross the region, providing beautiful sweeping views.

    ¿Fjarðabyggð" is an association of villages in the Eastern fjords of Iceland. It includes the towns of Eskifjörður, Fáskrúðsfjörður, Mjóifjörður, Neskaupstaður, Reyðarfjörður and Stöðvarfjörður, 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.

    Work: Every year WF Iceland is hosting hundreds of international volunteers participating in projects all round the island. WF Iceland publishes a magazine called UNA where people can read about the life of the organization.

    In the beginning of the project volunteers will receive an introduction about the tasks - afterwards we will choose a topic for the newsletter. This is a great opportunity to step into different projects and to get to know Iceland in a better way. The group will take photos and make videos and interviews with volunteers, local hosts and people living in the area. The outcome will be published in the UNA WF magazine. At the end of the project we will prepare the final version of the magazine and publish it online.

    During this time of the year the weather in Eskifjörður can be very unfriendly and cold. We strongly recommend you to bring really warm and waterproof clothes. You should also be aware of the fact that the weather can get so extreme that it will not allow us to go out of the accommodation for some days. Don't forget to bring your cameras and tripods because we will also go for some Auroras hunting. Apart of this workcamp will concentrate on intercultural learning and exchange. Every evening a different country will cook for the rest of the Group and will be in charge of presenting their origin country and culture in a non formal way. It could be a presentation, games, theater or however you would like to show it. Therefore we recommend you to bring food, photos or whatever you think is important and nice for the worldwide evenings.

    This work camp is a way to enjoy an amazing time in Iceland with other international volunteers and to have an incredible experience where participants share their knowledge with each other while they are exploring creativity, environmental issues and intercultural learning.

    Leisure: Worldwide Friends volunteers have free access to the local swimming pool. Traditionally, natural pools have played an important social role in Icelandic culture. Most Icelandic pools offer indoor and outdoor swimming, as well as hot

You will explore the area during your stay in the east.

    Work: One of the most important aims of WF Iceland is intercultural understanding. Iceland is getting more and more intercultural and nowadays you can find people from all over the world in the island. We would like to involve foreign nationals living in Iceland to give them an extra chance to promote the culture of their origin in the local society.

    We will help with the preparation and running of cultural activities together with local people. We will also have some workshops and debates related to art and culture.

    During the workcamp the volunteers and the work will be focused on art from different continents by having workshops of music, dances and food. As well we will involve local people in order to provide the participants the opportunity to learn about different cuisine, get to know their culture and make video forums with movies that reflect the situation in the World today in order to create debates concerning different issues. At the end of the work camp we will have a ´ARTE DIEM festival´ in Eskifjörður where we will show the outcome of the workshops, a performance of dances and music as well food and photos exhibition.

    WF140 GOGG - Nature in the south of Iceland 30/06 ¿ 11/07ENVI/MANU 8 vol

    Project Location: This camp will take place in a small community called Grímsnes- and Grafningshreppur which is located in the middle of the south area of Iceland. In the area you can find some of the historical places in Iceland ¿ for example Þingvellir which is by far Iceland¿s most famous historic site. The Alþingi, or general assembly, first met there in AD930, and continued to do so for nearly nine centuries, until 1798. Various important events in the Icelandic Sagas took place at Þingvellir, and in 1930 it was declared a National Park. In 2004 Þingvellir was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

    Nowhere on earth is the junction between the European and American tectonic plates in the Earth¿s crust as clear as in the southwest, and at Þingvellir: the plates diverge here by as much as 2 cm per year. But the gap is constantly being filled, as volcanoes have been erupting regularly throughout Iceland¿s history.

    Not far away is the old Episcopal seat of Skálholt, which was the centre of the church and Christianity in Iceland from the mid-11th century until the end of the 18th.

    But the region has other attractions: places of outstanding natural beauty include magnificent waterfalls, of which Gullfoss (Golden Falls) is the best known. In many geothermal areas villages have grown up, where exotic fruits and vegetables are grown in greenhouses heated by hot springs.

    The best known hot spring is Geysir, from which derives the English word ¿geyser¿ for spouting hot springs: the big Geysir is surrounded by many more springs of all shapes and sizes.

    A little further east are two of Iceland¿s most active volcanoes. Mt. Hekla has erupted about 20 times in Icelandic history, and Mt. Katla, under the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, is almost as active. Many years have now passed since Mt. Katla last erupted, and according to geoscientists it is overdue for another burst of activity.

    Work: The volunteers will be working with the environmental department of the community. Most of the work will consist of planting trees and taking care of the environment in the surrounding area.

    Our work will also depend on weather conditions and that¿s why we have to be flexible. Please keep in mind that the work might be physically hard and you should be prepared for unfriendly weather, even though, hopefully, it will be nice most of the time. This is a perfect camp for people who like outdoor work and physical challenges.

    Leisure: Worldwide Friends volunteers have free access to the local geothermally-heated swimming pool in the area. Traditionally, natural pools have played an important social role in Icelandic culture. Most Icelandic pools offer indoor and outdoor swimming, as well as hot tubs and saunas or steam rooms. Hveragerði is known for having great areas for hiking, including a river heated by hot springs.

    WF Iceland will also organise reasonably-priced weekend excursions to some of the most popular, beautiful areas and natural wonders that Iceland has to offer. Excursions include unique Icelandic sights such as glacial lagoons, waterfalls, volcanic and geothermal areas, glaciers, geysirs, lava forests, hot-springs, rhyolite mountain ranges, steam-vents, or even icebergs.

    Accommodation and Food: Worldwide Friends volunteers stay in a local school. Volunteers need to bring their own sleeping bag, but mattresses are provided.

    Project and location:

    Neskaupstaður is a medium size town by Icelandic standards. With its 1.420 inhabitants, it has the largest population in the East Fjords. The town has been growing and prospering since the early 1900´s and is almost completely self sufficient thanks to the fishing industry. Sitting in the middle of nowhere, away from other villages and communities, the town is equipped with all the necessary facilities and stores: a bakery, a local dairy, supermarkets, banks, a post office, a school, a sports hall, a swimming pool, a church, a hospital, a harbor, a airstrip, a hotel, a jazz club, a rescue centre, etc. As a matter of fact, it has all the services and professionals you would expect in a larger town, with the exception of an optician! On the east side of town the wildlife reserve and a large recreational area facing the ocean. In the lower section of the reserve, called Hagi, lies the famous Páskahellir (Easter Cave), a rock vault over the shore. Holes left by thick, 10 to 12-million-year-old tree trunks can be seen inside the vault and, in true Icelandic spirit, various folk tales are associated with the cave. Neskaupstaður can be reached only driving through a one-way tunnel over the highest year round pass in Iceland.

    Eistnaflug is a Heavy Rock Festival which this year will present its 5th edition. More than 40 bands will perform for an expected audience of about one thousand visitors. It will take place July 9-12. For additional information, visit: www.eistnaflug.is.

    Work: We will help the organizers of the festival to carry out different tasks. For example, we will take care of the venues before and after the concerts, control the access to the festival area and prepare the camping site. We will assist the local organization in keeping the area clean during the festival. We will also do some environmental work in cooperation with the local community before and after the festival.

    Leisure time: Worldwide Friends volunteers have free access to the local geothermally-heated swimming pool in Eskifjörður. Traditionally, natural pools have played an important social role in Icelandic culture. Most Icelandic pools offer indoor and outdoor swimming, as well as hot tubs and saunas or steam rooms.

    Project and location:

    Scoured by Ice Age glaciers, the dramatic east coast boasts long, narrow fjords with steep sides and jagged peaks which contrast with inland fertile farmlands. Natural harbours mean picture-postcard fishing villages and seemingly never-ending roads cross the region, providing beautiful sweeping views.

    ¿Fjarðabyggð" is an association of villages in the Eastern fjords of Iceland. It includes the towns of Eskifjörður, Fáskrúðsfjörður, Mjóifjörður, Neskaupstaður, Reyðarfjörður and Stöðvarfjörður, 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. The camp will take place in Stöðvarfjörður and the area around it. The settlement in stöðvarfjörður started about 100 years ago along the fjord of the same name. The fjord is short and open to easterly weather. Rare rocks and minerals have been found in the vicinity, and Petra Sveinsdóttir has specimens on display. Stöðvarfjörður has a thriving artistic life, and one of the most excellent centres for graphic arts in the country

    Work: The purpose of this camp is to use the resources that Mother Earth has to offer. We will work with a group of Icelandic young people which are very much focused on this topic. We will grow vegetables, collect herbs, berries, seaweed among other things and also go fishing from time to time. We will also work with the art centre in Stöðvarfjörður which used to be the local fish factory. Other possible tasks will be planting trees, build hiking paths and etc.

    Our work will also depend on weather conditions and that¿s why we have to be flexible. Please keep in mind that the work might be physically hard and you should be prepared for unfriendly weather, even though, hope- fully, it will be nice most of the time. This is a perfect camp for creative people who like outdoor work and physical challenges

    Project and location:

    Neskaupstaður is a medium size town by Icelandic standards. With its 1.420 inhabitants, it has the largest population in the East Fjords. The town has been growing and prospering since the early 1900´s and is almost completely self sufficient thanks to the fishing industry. Sitting in the middle of nowhere, away from other villages and communities, the town is equipped with all the necessary facilities and stores: a bakery, a local dairy, supermarkets, banks, a post office, a school, a sports hall, a swimming pool, a church, a hospital, a harbor, a airstrip, a hotel, a jazz club, a rescue centre, etc. As a matter of fact, it has all the services and professionals you would expect in a larger town, with the exception of an optician! On the east side of town the wildlife reserve and a large recreational area facing the ocean. In the lower section of the reserve, called Hagi, lies the famous Páskahellir (Easter Cave), a rock vault over the shore. Holes left by thick, 10 to 12-million-year-old tree trunks can be seen inside the vault and, in true Icelandic spirit, various folk tales are associated with the cave. Neskaupstaður can be reached only driving through a one-way tunnel over the highest year round pass in Iceland.

    Eistnaflug is a Heavy Rock Festival which this year will present its 5th edition. More than 40 bands will perform for an expected audience of about one thousand visitors. It will take place July 9-12. For additional information, visit: www.eistnaflug.is.

    Work: We will help the organizers of the festival to carry out different tasks. For example, we will take care of the venues before and after the concerts, control the access to the festival area and prepare the camping site. We will assist the local organization in keeping the area clean during the festival. We will also do some environmental work in cooperation with the local community before and after the festival.

    Leisure time: Worldwide Friends volunteers have free access to the local geothermally-heated swimming pool in Eskifjörður. Traditionally, natural pools have played an important social role in Icelandic culture. Most Icelandic pools offer indoor and outdoor swimming, as well as hot tubs and saunas or steam rooms.

    WF Iceland will also organise reasonably-priced weekend excursions to some of the most popular, beautiful areas and natural wonders that Iceland has to offer. Excursions include unique Icelandic sights such as lagoons, waterfalls, volcanic and geothermal areas, glaciers, lava forests, hot-springs, rhyolite mountain ranges or steam-vents..

    Volunteers will also have free access to the concerts during the festival.

    WF21 East of Iceland - close to nature05/07 ¿ 17/07 ENVI / MANU 16 vol

    Project and location: Scoured by Ice Age glaciers, the dramatic east coast boasts long, narrow fjords with steep sides and jagged peaks which contrast with inland fertile farmlands. Natural harbours mean picture-postcard fishing villages and seemingly never-ending roads cross the region, providing beautiful sweeping views.

    ¿Fjarðabyggð" is an association of villages in the Eastern fjords of Iceland. It includes the towns of Eskifjörður, Fáskrúðsfjörður, Mjóifjörður, Neskaupstaður, Reyðarfjörður and Stöðvarfjörður, 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.

    Work: Most of the work will consist of cleaning and beautifying the towns and the surrounding area. We will also do some other environmental tasks for example clean the coastline, plant trees or build hiking paths.

    Our work will also depend on weather conditions and that¿s why we have to be flexible. Please keep in mind that the work might be physically hard and you should be prepared for unfriendly weather, even though, hopefully, it will be nice most of the time. This is a perfect camp for people who like outdoor work and physical challenges.

    Leisure time: Worldwide Friends volunteers have free access to the local geothermally-heated swimming pool in Eskifjörður.

    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 marvellous traits of a unique natural landscape.

    The population of the Reykjavik Area is about 200,000. Reykjavik 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 harbour at midnight and watch the sun dip slightly below the horizon before it makes its way up again.

    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 towers over the western horizon, while mountainous moonscapes spread to the southeast.

    Work: Every year WF Iceland is hosting hundreds of international volunteers participating in projects all round the island. WF Iceland publishes a magazine called UNA where people can read about the life of the organization.

    In the beginning of the project volunteers will receive an introduction about the tasks - afterwards we will visit other WF workcamps located in around the capital area. The group will take photos and make videos and interviews with volunteers, local hosts and people living in the area. The outcome will be published in the UNA WF magazine.

    At the end of the project we will prepare the final version of the magazine and publish it.

    Leisure: On weekends, the central location of the accommodations is ideal for enjoying Reykjavik¿s amazing nightlife, which is world-renowned for its wide array of bars, clubs, and concerts.

    WF Iceland will also organise reasonably-priced weekend excursions to some of the most popular, beautiful areas and natural wonders that Iceland has to offer. Excursions include unique Icelandic sights such as glacial lagoons, waterfalls, volcanic and geothermal areas, glaciers, geysirs, lava forests, hot-springs, rhyolite mountain ranges, steam-vents, or even icebergs.

    Accommodation and Food: Worldwide Friends volunteers stay in one of several shared houses offering basic sleeping and cooking facilities in the heart of historical downtown Reykjavik. Volunteers need to bring their own sleeping bag

    Project Location: The village of Raufarhöfn is the community that lies farthest north in Iceland. It is located in the eastern part of Melrakkasletta close to the Arctic Circle. The population of Raufarhöfn is about 200 and most of the people there earn their living from fishing and fish processing. The harbor is very beautiful and partly shaped by nature itself. A wide and untouched open area surrounds the village with a lot of birds and varied vegetation. In summer one will observe wild migratory birds within the village being a part of the village life with the villagers most often waking up in the morning to the songs of birds. The coastline with its inlets and creeks is filled with driftwood and reaches out into the Arctic Sea. Away and on the surface of the sea various sea-birds will be spotted and an occasional seal. On the beach waders strut and inland on the grassy moorlands there are dozens of lakes filled with trout. In the vicinity many species of ducks, waders and species that favor heaths and moorlands may be observed.

    Work: the purpose of this camp is very diverse. During these camp volunteers will be able to cooperate in different tasks. Depending to the season or month where volunteers will participate in the camp the themes will be different. WF owns a center in the village. During the first month of the summer the camp will be more focused on cultural activities for the people and the youth of the village. Activities such as cultural coffees , international evenings, workshop which volunteers can develop, renovation work such us painting and cleaning the House and visual arts project such a sharing photography knowledge¿s, video filming and editing.

    During the last 2 months of the summer volunteers will work more on environmental tasks such as cleaning the coast line. During this time the local Youth goes back to school and is more difficult to gather people for cultural evening. Another reason to avoid environmental work during the first 2 months is due to the migrant birds known as CRIA in Iceland. About this time they are nesting and is not good to disturb the areas. At the end of August they fly back again and is perfect time for coastline cleaning. In August we will also pick berries and make some jam together. Also during this time volunteers will have the chance to share photo skills and video and edit and produce visual arts materials to be use afterwards on our website.

    This work camp is a way to enjoy an amazing time in Iceland with other international volunteers and to have an incredible experience where participants share their knowledge with each other while they are exploring creativity, environmental issues and intercultural learning.

    Leisure: We will do a lot of hiking during the camp and we can also catch some fish in the port of Raufarhöfn.

    WF29 Raufarhöfn ¿ near to the arctic circle 10/08 ¿ 22/08 ART/STUDY/ENVI 16 vol

    Project Location: The village of Raufarhöfn is the community that lies farthest north in Iceland. It is located in the eastern part of Melrakkasletta close to the Arctic Circle. The population of Raufarhöfn is about 200 and most of the people there earn their living from fishing and fish processing. The harbor is very beautiful and partly shaped by nature itself. A wide and untouched open area surrounds the village with a lot of birds and varied vegetation. In summer one will observe wild migratory birds within the village being a part of the village life with the villagers most often waking up in the morning to the songs of birds. The coastline with its inlets and creeks is filled with driftwood and reaches out into the Arctic Sea. Away and on the surface of the sea various sea-birds will be spotted and an occasional seal. On the beach waders strut and inland on the grassy moorlands there are dozens of lakes filled with trout. In the vicinity many species of ducks, waders and species that favor heaths and moorlands may be observed.

    Work: the purpose of this camp is very diverse. During these camp volunteers will be able to cooperate in different tasks. Depending to the season or month where volunteers will participate in the camp the themes will be different. WF owns a center in the village. During the first month of the summer the camp will be more focused on cultural activities for the people and the youth of the village. Activities such as cultural coffees , international evenings, workshop which volunteers can develop, renovation work such us painting and cleaning the House and visual arts project such a sharing photography knowledge¿s, video filming and editing.

    During the last 2 months of the summer volunteers will work more on environmental tasks such as cleaning the coast line. During this time the local Youth goes back to school and is more difficult to gather people for cultural evening. Another reason to avoid environmental work during the first 2 months is due to the migrant birds known as CRIA in Iceland. About this time they are nesting and is not good to disturb the areas. At the end of August they fly back again and is perfect time for coastline cleaning. In August we will also pick berries and make some jam together. Also during this time volunteers will have the chance to share photo skills and video and edit and produce visual arts materials to be use afterwards on our website.

    This work camp is a way to enjoy an amazing time in Iceland with other international volunteers and to have an incredible experience where participants share their knowledge with each other while they are exploring creativity, environmental issues and intercultural learning.

    Leisure: We will do a lot of hiking during the camp and we can also catch some fish in the port of Raufarhöfn.

    WF31 Visual art in Reykjavik 15/07 ¿ 25/07 ART/STUDY 8 vol

    Project 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 marvellous traits of a unique natural landscape.

    The population of the Reykjavik Area is about 200,000. Reykjavik 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 harbour at midnight and watch the sun dip slightly below the horizon before it makes its way up again.

    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 towers over the western horizon, while mountainous moonscapes spread to the southeast.

    Work: The purpose of this camp is to involve young international volunteers in a group experience where they can improve their communication and visual arts skills by capturing some memories in an unforgettable way using photographs and videos. Volunteers will put into action ideas about photography from capture to finished image. In this camp, volunteers learn together from each other how to better express their vision and how to digitally edit images to highlight the same qualities that drew them to the scene to begin with. Volunteers will work on different themes, such as landscape, fishermen¿s life, light and colour, local lifestyle etc. In the evenings the volunteers will gather together to share photos and the camp will culminate in a photo exhibition.

    This work camp is a way to enjoy an amazing time in Iceland with other international volunteers and to have an incredible experience where participants share their knowledge on photography with each other while they are exploring creativity, environmental issues and intercultural learning. So don¿t worry if you¿re not an experienced photographer, because the workcamp doesn¿t require advanced knowledge and it isn¿t a competition.

    Please note that volunteers need to bring their own cameras to the workcamp. The volunteers should also keep in mind that the leaders are not professional photographers.

    Leisure: On weekends, the central location of the accommodations is ideal for enjoying Reykjavik¿s amazing nightlife, which is world-renowned for its wide array

    Work: Every year WF Iceland is hosting hundreds of international volunteers participating in projects all round the island. WF Iceland publishes a magazine called UNA where people can read about the life of the organization.

    In the beginning of the project volunteers will receive an introduction about the tasks - afterwards we will visit other WF workcamps located in around the capital area. The group will take photos and make videos and interviews with volunteers, local hosts and people living in the area. The outcome will be published in the UNA WF magazine.

    Project and location:

    Neskaupstaður is a medium size town by Icelandic standards. With its 1.420 inhabitants, it has the largest population in the East Fjords. The town has been growing and prospering since the early 1900´s and is almost completely self sufficient thanks to the fishing industry. Sitting in the middle of nowhere, away from other villages and communities, the town is equipped with all the necessary facilities and stores: a bakery, a local dairy, supermarkets, banks, a post office, a school, a sports hall, a swimming pool, a church, a hospital, a harbor, a airstrip, a hotel, a jazz club, a rescue centre, etc. As a matter of fact, it has all the services and professionals you would expect in a larger town, with the exception of an optician! On the east side of town the wildlife reserve and a large recreational area facing the ocean. In the lower section of the reserve, called Hagi, lies the famous Páskahellir (Easter Cave), a rock vault over the shore. Holes left by thick, 10 to 12-million-year-old tree trunks can be seen inside the vault and, in true Icelandic spirit, various folk tales are associated with the cave. Neskaupstaður can be reached only driving through a one-way tunnel over the highest year round pass in Iceland.

    Eistnaflug is a Heavy Rock Festival which this year will present its 5th edition. More than 40 bands will perform for an expected audience of about one thousand visitors. It will take place July 9-12. For additional information, visit: www.eistnaflug.is.

    Work: We will help the organizers of the festival to carry out different tasks. For example, we will take care of the venues before and after the concerts, control the access to the festival area and prepare the camping site. We will assist the local organization in keeping the area clean during the festival. We will also do some environmental work in cooperation with the local community before and after the festival.

    Leisure time: Worldwide Friends volunteers have free access to the local geothermally-heated swimming pool in Eskifjörður. Traditionally, natural pools have played an important social role in Icelandic culture. Most Icelandic pools offer indoor and outdoor swimming, as well as hot tubs and saunas or steam rooms.

    WF Iceland will also organise reasonably-priced weekend excursions to some of the most popular, beautiful areas and natural wonders that Iceland has to offer. Excursions include unique Icelandic sights such as lagoons, waterfalls, volcanic and geothermal areas, glaciers, lava forests, hot-springs, rhyolite mountain ranges or steam-vents..

    Volunteers will also have free access to the concerts during the festival.
