WORKCAMPS
What is a workcamp?
Workcamps are short-term volunteer placements in an international group. The duration is 1 – 3 weeks. Together with volunteers from different countries, you support a social, ecological or cultural project abroad (in more than 90 countries) or in Switzerland. Together with other volunteers, you will get involved and discover the culture of your host country as well as that of the other international volunteers. You will meet new people, gain valuable intercultural experience and get to know the culture and society of your host country. From 16 / 18 years.
