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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
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..
Accommodation and food:
In a community centre called Knellan which is located in
Eskifjordur. Mattresses will be provided and everyone is asked to
bring his/her own warm sleeping bag. We will have access to showers
at the local swimming pool and sports centre.
The food will be supplied for the duration of the work camp and
everyone is expected to do his/her fair share of the
cooking/cleaning. It would be nice to try new and different dishes,
so please remember to bring along recipes from your own
countries.

STUDY 8 vol
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.

own sleeping bag and towels, but beds and sheets are provided.
Wireless internet access is provided free of charge. The
accommodation provided by Worldwide Friends Iceland for volunteers
in Reykjavik is located within short walking distance of many urban
amenities, including: banks, pharmacies, supermarkets, public
swimming pools, restaurants, cafes, libraries, theaters, shops,
museums, and bus stations.
Food is included for the duration of the workcamp, however
everyone is expected to do their fair share of the cooking and
cleaning. Since it is always nice to try new and different dishes,
volunteers are encouraged to bring along their favourite recipes
from home!
Requirements: Volunteers with good computer skills, interested
in journalism and/or photographing are very much welcome to this
camp.

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

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 and towels, but
mattresses and bed linens are provided. Wireless internet access is
provided free of charge. The accommodation provided by Worldwide
Friends Iceland for volunteers in Reykjavik is located within short
walking distance of many urban amenities, including: banks,
pharmacies, supermarkets, public swimming pools, restaurants,
cafes, libraries, theatres, shops, museums, and bus stations.
Food is included for the duration of the workcamp, however
everyone is expected to do their fair share of the cooking and

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.

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

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
