THE PROGRAM FOR 2023

Worldwide Friends have many houses near the crossroads to the East, South, and North of Iceland to invite volunteers and other participants who wish to work on environmental and sustainability projects. A new house is currently under construction, for more information take a look at the article of the Krýsuvík renovation.

Our goal is to educate our young generation and motivate them to take action against climatic problems and global warming.

Throughout a series of different activities, each of our volunteers in the workcamps, have created a positive impact in the Icelandic landscape and helped towards the completion of the Global Goals.

For 2023, Global Warming is our main theme throughout our different work camps.

Humanity must act in a more environmentally friendly way. This project is to improve the environmental education and consciousness of the projects participants.

In the last 16 years we cleaned 5.394 km and collected 2.151.063 kg of waste from the shore

The main focus during the project for 2023 will be on Global Warming, marine plastics and how to prevent it. All along the different workshops, the goal is to improve the environmental education and consciousness of the projects participants : Green Energy, Sustainable Householding, Waste Treatment, Nutrition, The Effects of Consumption, and more. The goal is to take part in this promising project and commit to the fight against climate change.

This project is also an exchange project where everyone is expected to contribute their own knowledge and experience, and not a standard work camp.

To date, WF has planted over 60,000 trees reducing soil erosion, removing carbon from the atmosphere, and improving air quality.

The main objective of the project is to learn about different aspects of environmental and sustainability issues through a selection of workshops, discussions, and visits. Workshops can include topics such as renewable energy, food waste, and sustainable practices such as collaborative consumption or vegetarianism. This project will help volunteers to be environmentally conscious traveler and consumer.

Since 2001 we have hosted 20.678 volunteers, promoting environmentally conscious

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.
