Veraldarvinir is a young organisation. The foundation of Veraldarvinir dates to the year 2001. The idea of establishing this cultural organisation in Iceland originated as a response to a two-fold conjuncture: on one hand the rapid pace at which the world's nations are joining their efforts to create peace, harmony and fraternity among themselves, and on the other, the growing acknowledgement of Iceland's enormous potentiality for contributing in world peace. It is a priority for Veraldarvinir to be able to offer international voluntary working opportunities and experiences to young people. · Work camps: the work camps offered take place mainly in the countryside and are all nature-oriented, providing a unique opportunity to be in direct communion with Icelandic nature. Among other activities, the volunteers can take part in nature conservation projects, reforestation, planting, gardening, cleaning polluted environments, and building walking paths and hiking routes. Duration: 2 - 3 weeks. · Seminars: these are culture-related activities, working towards the development and strengthening of cooperation bonds between nations and individuals through artistic, recreational and educational programs. Within this category are included talks on peace and peace-fostering projects, the growth of voluntarism in the world, and the exchange of cultural traditions and innovations through artistic activities. Duration: 5-12 days. Available Seminars: Peace in the world, Voluntarism in Europe, Voluntarism in the World, Music as a Bridge of Light, Literature, Languages, Nature-Sports. · Exchange Programs: short- and long-term programs through which the volunteers have an opportunity to live as part of Icelandic society, either through working or schooling projects. Duration: 3 weeks -12 months.
