Project 3: Group Workcamps

- Let's organize together! -

3-1) What are Group Workcamps?

Workcampsorganized for specific groups like schools, NGOs, student groups, companies, governments, local communities, etc.

Contents (types of works, places, periods, finance, types/ numbers of volunteers, etc.) just depend on the needs of the groups and hosts.

3-2) Why are they organized ?

There are huge demands to input workcamp elements (voluntary works and collective life) in (mostly, existing) programs of the societysuch as school/ company trips, training of youth/ new workers, seminars and language classes, etc.

We need good training/ preparationespecially for those who were not so motivatedin the beginning, but then why not to improve those programs by utilizing our know-how and networks for the better world! And we can involve new kinds of peoplewho never apply alone or have no opportunities where else.

This can also be fund raining project if the group can use a lot of money for it!

3-3) Who can join/ send/ host?

Volunteers of the sending or both sides are recruited as a group (not individually from different routes) though there are two cases that all members of the groups automatically join or some ones of the groups join optionally.

Usually, workcamp NGOs in both sides plan/ organize together and provide each leader. It is also possible to do by 3 (or more) countries!

3-4) How to organize?

1) Sending org. makes draft plan with a group.

2) Sending org. propose it to the hosting org.

3) Hosting org. finds the local partners, modify the plan with them and answer to sending org.

4) Hosting & sending org. make an agreement.

* There can be the other way that hosts plan first and then, try to find a group to come.

3-5) Where and When organized ?

As above mentioned, just up to agreements on both sides (the host and the coming group).

It can be any time & length of a year.

Anywhere if the groups & the hosts like!

We can also host your groups in Japan.

++Examples!

1) 8 days in Apr. since 2002 near Sydney in Australia where 15 students of the vocational school worked in the aboriginal community (organized together with IVP Australia).

2) 14 days in Jun. 2015 in the community farm of Hokkaido, Japan with 20 youth from the first aid group in Wales, UK (with UNA UK).
