This camp allows volunteers to learn about global and local environmental issues through non-formal activities such as workshops, discussions, presentations and visits, as well as to contribute directly to environment protection by joining outdoor cleanup tasks.

These cleanup tasks may be arranged in partnership with the above mentioned organisations or run solely by SEEDS. We also aim to involve the local community, so some of our events may be open to the public. We hope participants will learn how to plan and carry out their own trash cleaning projects back at home. This project is based on similar activities around the world, where outstanding results have been achieved with volunteers.
Volunteers can choose one of the two options below, included as hands-on volunteering activity in the camp:
1. A day trip combining a visit to the Hellisheiði geothermal power plant, a trash collection in the area, and
the Hot River Hike, a hike up a valley filled with hot springs where one can bathe.
2. A day trip to the Reykjanes Peninsula, combined with a coastal cleanup in the area.

Please note that all activities are subject to weather conditions and the availability of our partners.

This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun. No previous experience is needed.
Volunteers should prepare to share environmental issues from their countries and be ready to spend time outdoors, walking medium to long distances during the cleanups, and during other activities such as sightseeing. Since a part of the project happens 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.

SEEDS volunteers stay in a house in Reykjavík. The facilities are basic with an equipped
kitchen, dining and living room, bathrooms, showers and a washing machine. Everyone is expected to show consideration for their companions. Accommodation is in shared rooms, with up to 6 people per room. Please bring your own towel.
Volunteers will receive food supplies and will be in charge of cooking and cleaning. Please note the food SEEDS provides will be vegetarian. Do not forget to bring some traditional/typical food, drinks, recipes, music, games or movies from your country for the intercultural evening. Please be aware some items or ingredients may be expensive in Iceland and you will need to buy them yourselves or bring them from your country.

Reykjavík is a dynamic, modern city which lives in harmony with nature, using renewable energy
sources. The world’s northernmost capital bridges the Atlantic, situated between Europe and North America.
Reykjavík is spread across a peninsula with a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic. It is an international city with a lively cosmopolitan cultural scene surrounded by beautiful nature.

The Environmentally Aware & Action project is part of a series of camps organised by SEEDS in
cooperation with different partners. SEEDS collaborates with the Icelandic Ministry for Environment and Natural Resources, the City of Reykjavík, and several local stakeholders on a project to clean up the Icelandic coastline.
Partners include the Blue Army, an organisation dedicated to the cause of coastal cleaning, SORPA, the waste collection & management entity in the capital area, and Whales of Iceland, an exhibit showcasing life-size models of whales and porpoises to educate the public about their lives and the impact of human activity on their existence.
