(Usually 2 weeks-long projects) We have released few new projects of our programme of short-term voluntary service projects through workcamps in Iceland for 2015 and still have available spots in some of them. In case you want to join us or know someone who may be interested in doing so; please feel free to pass on the information. We are offering a wide variety of volunteer projects all around Iceland and you can find our latest programme of workcamps and their descriptions at the link below: seeds.is/files/2014/seeds-iceland-workcamps-descriptions-2014.pdf seeds.is/files/2015/seeds-iceland-workcamps-descriptions-2015.pdf Please download the pdf file and check all the different alternatives; apart from the descriptions of the workcamps, you will find there practical information about our projects including details on transport to Iceland, arrival & departure dates, domestic transportation, the participation fees, insurance, accommodation, language, age, conditions of participation, etc. Volunteers are in charge of paying participation fees to join the project(s) and of making their own travel arrangements from home to the project location and back home, however SEEDS usually arrange a costs-sharing option (minibus) from Reykjavík to the workcamp site to make the travel more convenient than with the public transportation services in Iceland. Please notice that the fees are to be paid on arrival in Euros (or Icelandic crowns) and they include board and lodging (food and accommodation) for the duration of the project. You can of course apply for more than one workcamp or come with someone else. New additions to the programme will be regularly uploaded in our site. Yes, this year we again have projects during Christmas and New Years in Iceland! You can also find the descriptions of our current (and past) projects at our website under seeds.is/workcamps If you are interested in joining these short-term projects, please send us a message through our website at seeds.is/contacts We have included your email address in our mailing list and will send you updates when we have new placement opportunities and vacancies in our projects.
