Work: During this workcamp participants will take part in the production of a video documentary which will be focused on how Icelandic people live and survive in isolated rural areas. It will be a mix of landscape shots and interviews of local people in order to find out how they feel about living there and what they think about international volunteers coming to the village. Another part of the project will be focused on the Auroras Borealis. During this time of the year it is very easy to see and experience this amazing spectacular phenomenon. Volunteers will be involved in a Time-Lapse project in order to catch the lights and have a common visual arts project.

The third part 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. 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.

Work: We will help the organizers of the Reykjavik International Film Festival with different tasks before and during the festival. Our group of international volunteers will work closely with the team of Icelandic volunteers which are in most cases students of the Universities in Reykjavik.

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.

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 Reykjavik. This is a great opportunity to step into different projects and even participate in their work a little bit. 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.

Work: The aim of this workcamp is to give volunteers the opportunity to learn about the myths and legends of runes. Volunteers create runes out of Icelandic volcanic magic stones, producing enough for the participant to take one set home and to leave others in the WF cultural center in Reykjavik.

Work: The Art and Renovation in Reykjavik camp has two major activities. WF Iceland is currently renovating houses in downtown Reykjavik so that they can be used to host intercultural workshops. During the camp, volunteers will paint, move furniture, and continue renovating the houses, and should prepare for these things by bringing appropriate work clothes.

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 Reykjavik. 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 African, Latin American and Asian people living in Iceland. We will also have some workshops and debates related to art and culture.
