Resumo: (DATA MANAGEMENT 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.

Tarefas: SHORT DESCRIPTION
We ask volunteers to not only help us remove the trash and litter from our environment, but to take it one step further and track the types and amount of items they're finding.
Beyond sheer tonnage of trash removed, and probably more importantly, we feel that cleanups are the gateway for volunteers and people of all walks of life to become aware of the issue and feel empowered to take action. Through data collection, the experience for the volunteer in tracking item by item, what they find, creates a moment of reflection that is truly invaluable.

Activities
A beach clean-up is also an opportunity to gather new data about the state of our coasts and the types of trash that pollutes them. By identifying the most harmful debris items, environmental groups can find ways to stop them from entering the ocean or being littered again on beaches
This data is hugely important as it helps us track the common items we find on our beaches and then campaign for change.
This evidence is used to lobby Governments for legislative change, as well as to influence industry practices and to drive campaigns that lead to changes in individual behaviour.

During our high peek season your main activities will be gathering information from the Beach Cleanings from all the
camps;
● Lead the Beach Cleanings
● Gather the daily data from Beach Cleaning
● Review current data collection methods
● Improve our recycling process
● Generate data visualization products, including dashboards, infographics, and maps
● Preparing and presenting communication materials
● Design data collection tools
● Enhance collaboration among the various organizations that carry out beach cleans
● Assist in preparing the data reports
