The full list of over one thousand exciting summer vacation projects in 2011 is now available under
http://www.workcamps.info/icamps/
If you want to make a meaningful contribution to a better world, make friends with people from many different countries, enjoy a rich intercultural experience, and find out something new about yourself and your own culture,
this is definitely something for you!
Projects are available which support local NGOs dealing with the following issues (among many others...):
- ecology & sustainable development
- anti-racism and discrimination
- alternative ways of living
- peace
- gender equality
- HIV/AIDS prevention
- North-South justice and solidarity
Once you start international volunteering, you will never stop....so why not try it out?
From 7th-30th August SCI Germany will be organising a German-Russian summer school on the subject of climate change. Topics to be discussed include, among others:
- what are the causes and affects of climate change?
- what can I, as an individual, or my organisation, do, in order to prevent climate change?
- how can I, or my organisation, influence political decision-makers in this field?
The first week of the school will be devoted to an inter-active series of workshops, keynote lectures and project visits, in order to exchange ideas & experiences among participants. Afterwards the group will be divided in order to support the work of different grassroot ecological projects in different parts of Germany.
