July 11 - July 25, 2008
August 7 - August 21, 2008
Sólheimar Eco-village, founded in 1930, is the first community of its kind in the world where so-called able and disabled people live and work together. Inspired by the theories of Rudolf Steiner, Sólheimar has focused on cultivating the individual and the environmental, and is the first community in Scandinavia to practice organic cultivation. Today, Sólheimar (The home of the sun) is a charming village of about 100 inhabitants, renowned for its international, artistic and ecological atmosphere, which prides itself on its varied cultural, social and sporting activities. The village is only one hour drive from Reykjavik.
The volunteers have free access to the swimming pool and gym. Volunteers are also encouraged to take part in social happenings in Sólheimar like in sports, music, the theatre group, etc. Sólheimar Arts Summer festival will last until the beginning of August. The program is varied with all sorts of arts exhibitions, an outdoor market, and theatre and cabaret performances at 4 o’clock every Saturday and every Sunday in the theatre and café Grćna Kannan. Volunteers are welcome to participate in the singing groups and cabarets.
In Ölur forestry centre, the only organic reforestation centre in Iceland, the volunteers will plant trees and construct paths. The group will also help in Sunna organic cultivation centre: plant vegetables, dig the weeds and other kind of gardening work. Other tasks will be decided according to the need of the community.
