About the project:

De Amicitia’s goal is to enforce non-formal education, support people with fewer opportunities, and help to preserve, protect, and support nature and rural communities.

They organize about 40 workcamps every year, of which the majority are workcamps for teenagers 14-17 y.o.

The workcamps take place in small, rural communities with groups of 7 -15 volunteers and 1 – 2 camp leaders.

It is expected the volunteers to be self-sufficient during the camps, meaning they will cook their own food, share a living space with other volunteers.
