🇮🇸🌱 European Solidarity Corps Volunteering in Iceland – Nature and Climate Protection for a Sustainable Future 🇮🇸✨

🧭 About the Opportunity
This European Solidarity Corps volunteering project takes place in Reykjavik, Iceland, and focuses on nature and climate protection 🌍❄️. Climate change poses a serious threat to ecosystems, wildlife, and communities worldwide, and Iceland is no exception. Melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and pollution increasingly impact fragile natural environments.

The hosting organisation was founded in 2005 as a non-governmental, non-profit volunteer organisation with an international focus. Its core mission is to promote environmental protection, environmental awareness, intercultural understanding, and peace through volunteering in social, cultural, and ecological projects across Iceland. This activity is part of a broader series of environmental camps organised in cooperation with various partners.
