This year EstYES in cooperation with Alt-Lauri organic farm in Vorumaa, Estonia has organized 5 international workcamps involving in overall 26 participants from 10 countries: Taiwan, Mexico, France, South Korea, Italy, Estonia, Belgium, Spain, Japan and Russia.

This workcamp is agricultural and ecological. Volunteers are involved into different kinds of work, supporting everyday life of farm – weeding, collecting vegetables, fruits and berries, packing them etc. In this camp volunteers learn a lot about sustainable life-style and organic farming, get closer to nature and spend 3 weeks not only working, but also exploring beuatuful sights of Vorumaa and Estonia in general.

Here are impressions from one of camp-leaders Komlanvi Dotche from France:

“I was in the Alt Lauri farm with four good girls, and after few days, three more Estonian girls. They were very good workers. They never complained themselves , evn if the work was hard the first day, because our bodies weren’t used to do field work.

The farm was very cosy with familial atmosphere and it was pleasure to have being there. Then, the rooms were comfortable.

Kaia, our farmer, was always available to answer every question I got. She did good food, more, sometimes, vegetarian and organic food.
In the other side, I got cultural shock about group leading (French and Estonian way), with some issues with communication and how to manage conflict”.

In the last camp, which took place in the end of August, volunteers recorded this very nice video:

If you’re interested in practicing sustainable life-style and want to learn more about organic farming, welcome to our camps in Estonia next year! We have several organic farms around the country waiting for their volunteers 😉
