Resumo: 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.

Tarefas: SHORT DESCRIPTION
If you'd like to work with a variety of young people (and possibly with some adults) and you care with passion about the environment and want to make this a better world, being an Education Officer could be for you. It's a great role if you want to work in education, but outside the formal setting of a school or college.
Your main activity will be putting together programs of age-appropriate and curriculum-related activities. As part of our daily activities, we provide environmental-related workshops to all our participants.

WHAT DOES AN EDUCATIONAL OFFICER DO?
You will work closely with groups of people (teenagers, young adults, or society groups) that come onto the site for educational trips, to promote the organization’s philosophy and build knowledge through a series of workshops. Learning outside the classroom can be a great way to engage young adults to understand and apply their learning in a real-world context.

ACTIVITIES
Iceland is at the forefront of renewable energy production, and nearly every home in the country is supplied with heating and energy from renewable energy sources. According to the Environmental Performance Index, created by the World Economic Forum in 2012, Iceland is the world's greenest country. This is one of the reasons volunteers choose this beautiful country for their volunteer program. During your
stay, you will be researching this and many more topics…..
Your main activity is to develop a curriculum program for environmental education through talks, workshops, activities,
courses, meetings, and visits. Update and maintain educational resources and material. Provide workshops to the workcamps remotely or on-site daily. All material created during the program will be used by the organization.
The work for the majority of the workcamps depends on the weather conditions, when unsuitable to be outdoors, you will be requested to provide activities or workshops for the group.
Working as a team under the supervision of the Project Manager of the organization. You will travel around Iceland, as our houses are located in various sites across the island. We’re all about flexibility: we expect you to adapt to changes quickly and we encourage you to try new things.
Working hours may vary depending on the workcamps and the organization's needs. However, you will have 2 days off per week. And will be able to discover Iceland's unique sites.
When required by the organization you will be required to lead camps, welcome participants, and/ or explain the program to the groups.
