About the local hosting organization
Worldwide Friends (WF), was founded in 2001 as a non-profit organization promoting nature and peace-oriented activities for volunteers wanting to spend some time in Iceland. Our main theme for this year is to give education about the 17 Sustainable Goals of the United Nations and to clean the whole coastline of Iceland. The main activities that we offer are workcamps, seminars, local events, and exchange programs suitable both for young people and adults.
Presentation of the program
Beyond sheer tonnage of trash removed, and probably more importantly, we feel that cleanups are the gateway for volunteers and people of all walks of life to become aware of the issue and feel empowered to take action. Through data collection, the experience for the volunteer in tracking item by item, what they find, creates a moment of reflection that is truly invaluable. A beach clean-up is also an opportunity to gather new data about the state of our coasts and the types of trash that pollutes them. By identifying the most harmful debris items, environmental groups can find ways to stop them from entering the ocean or being littered again on beachesThis data is hugely important as it helps us track the common items we find on our beaches and then campaign for change.This evidence is used to lobby Governments for legislative change, as well as to influence industry practices and to drive campaigns that lead to changes in individual behaviour.During our high peek season your main activities will be gathering information from the Beach Cleanings from all the camps;Gather the daily data from Beach Cleaning Review current data collection methodsImprove our recycling processGenerate data visualization products, including dashboards, infographics, and mapsPreparing and presenting communication materialsDesign data collection toolsEnhance collaboration among the various organizations that carry out beach cleansAssist in preparing the data reports
About the accommodation
During the workcamps the leaders will share a double or quadruple room in a house fully equipped. Beds are provided, however, volunteers should bring their own warm sleeping bags. Food is provided and everyone is expected to do their fair share of the cooking and cleaning. We provide a well-balanced and healthy variety of food products that includes a wide variety of whole grains, seasonal fruits and amp; vegetables, pantry staples, dairy products, and vegetarian/vegan options.
About the location
Weekends are free, however, you will still need to be around. Try to plan activities with the volunteers. Usually, the excursions take place during the weekends. Excursions include unique Icelandic sights, such as waterfalls, volcanic and geothermal areas, glaciers, lava forests, hot springs, rhyolite mountain ranges, steam vents, or even icebergs.The areas around the houses are also great for hiking. If volunteers want to go for a hike, make sure one of the camp leaders joins them. Remind the volunteers to share their plans in advance.
