Resumo: (PLACEMENT OFFICER)
The organization was founded in 2001 as a non-governmental, non-profit organisation promoting environmental protection, peace-oriented activities, friendships, and international understanding among people. The main activities offered by the organization are workcamps, summer camps for teenagers, exchange programs, educational seminars and eco-tours. We offer activities for participants from the age of 13.

Today the endeavour of attaining world peace and environmental protection has become a tangible possibility and the development and strengthening of bonds of cooperation and friendship through contact with people from other countries and cultures has proven to be one of the most fruitful means of achieving understanding and unity among nations. Veraldarvinir‘s main aim is to increase intercultural understanding by offering people the opportunity to take part in environmental and peace-related activities.
For participants coming to Iceland, such projects will give them a unique opportunity not only to explore and directly interact with Iceland’s unique culture and landscape but also to work with other international people and residents in challenging and unfamiliar contexts. This interaction between unspoiled nature and people from different backgrounds provides the participants with invaluable opportunities to learn more about themselves as individuals, their international fellows, other cultures, and the human and natural richness of Mother Earth.
We are also increasing our work and engagement with local communities, in order to promote the value of volunteering work in Iceland, but also to integrate our volunteering in a more engaged intercultural environment with locals.
