Our camp themes were human rights, media education and voluntary work. We had different kinds of workshops during these two weeks. For example we held workshop about volunteering and what it means. We also wanted to explore volunteering a bit deeper and had a whole day homeless-workshop. Our volunteers had a chance to experience and get a totally new perspective about being homeless.
They had to live outside the camp headquarters for a whole day and get their food, water and all what they needed by themselves from the nature, dumpsters, begging, collecting berries and exchanging those for food. Of course leaders had a contact to the volunteers for the whole day. So they weren’t totally alone.
One of our leaders has been homeless several times in Norway, and he brought up things what
people/volunteers can do to help homeless people. Every volunteer also checked information about homeless people and organization that help them in their own countries.
We also visited Red Cross in Rauma and we heard about volunteering in Red Cross.
We had 17 volunteers and 9 leaders from 13 different countries. Local youth also visited the camp daily.
As you can see from the photos, we are extremely proud of our work that we do in the field of cultural youth work.
