Shared work.
Lasting connections.

Since the mid-1980s, international workcamps have been part of my life: meeting people, visiting other countries and working together on worthwhile projects.

More than a summer away

For me, the camps are brilliant fun and a really good way to meet people from different backgrounds. Many of the camps documented here took place at memorial sites, combining practical work with learning and remembrance.

These pages bring together videos and memories from camps I took part in. Some films and project websites were made by the volunteers themselves.

To find out about volunteering, visit SCI Germany or the International Voluntary Service in Britain.
