Die Workcamps in Griechenland organisiert ELIX – Conservation Volunteers in Greece. Diese Organisation wurde 1987 mit dem Ziel gegründet, die Zusammenarbeit von Menschen mit unterschiedlichen sozialen, kulturellen und ethnischen Hintergründen zu fördern. Seit 2002 arbeiten wir auch mit Citizen in Action (CiA) erfolgreich zusammen, einer Organisation, die ausschließlich von Ehrenamtlichen getragen wird. | |
| Aufgrund der schwierigen finanziellen Lage in Griechenland müssen beide Partner kleine Extra-Gebühren vor Ort von 30 € (Elix) bzw. 20 € (C.i.A.) erheben. Außerdem sind die Kosten für Freizeitaktivitäten bei beiden griechischen Organisationen selbst zu tragen. | |

AGE: 40+
WORK: The municipality of Syros has a large network of pedestrian routes. The friends of nature will be surprised in Syros, since this time the routes that they will work in, will not cover only distances of space but of time as well. Syros is an alive museum of cultures, a "capsule of time", that with incredible speed takes the visitor in an absolutely natural way from one time period to the other. That surely impresses and charms. Some of the routes that the participants will work on are: Path Number 6. The footpath that has been chosen for conservation and reconstruction is situated in Northern Syros, in the area of Ano Meria. The passage is distinguished by its natural beauty and is protected by the Natura 2000 EU Birds Directive. The path name is Papouri - Aetos river - Varvousa coast (an alternative part towards Aetos coast), that is characterized as a path of historical and cultural interest of Syros (number 6) and connects the traditional rural settlement Papouri with the West coast of Ano Meria. The Papouri footpath, starts with a small part of cement paved, and goes on as a natural footpath with stone pavement. For the most of its length, the path is parallel to a canal.
ACCOMMODATION: Accommodation will be provided in local traditional dorms in the area of church St. Cyril-Methodius in the area of Mega Gialos. The facilities include comfortable common sleeping room, dining room, kitchen, bathrooms and toilets as well as tents on the compound, outside of the dorm are also available. Alcohol consumption is typically prohibited inside the accommodation. Two of the group, everyday in shifts, will be responsible for maintaining the group accommodation place clean, as well as for the preparation of all the meals of the day for the rest of the group.
LOCATION & LEISURE: The camp will take place in the beautiful island of Syros, administrative centre of the Cyclades prefecture. Close to Piraeus, Syros is connected by ferry with many Cycladic islands. Syros, like other Cycladic islands, was inhabited from the early prehistoric times. After the overthrow of the Byzantium by the Francs in 1204, Syros came under Venetian domination. The island became part of the Ducat of the Aegean as an independent feudal regime and remained as such for almost three and a half centuries. Syros is accessible from Piraeus harbour (Athens), the normal ferry boat is taking around 4 hours travel time (one-way ticket 29€). In their free time, volunteers will have the opportunity to get in touch with the everyday life of the island; they may attend events organised by the authorities during the period of their stay (concerts, performances, etc.) and communicate with locals and tourists. Volunteers will discuss their free time activities with their camp leader; together they are going to organise excursions and visits around the area.

It is one of the six Forest Villages that the Ministry of Rural Development and Food has created all around Greece. Each Forest Village has a manager who comes from the area where it is situated and, for the time being, functions as a guest house and accommodates people who wish to reside in the forest for a short time on grounds of recreation or of training. The Ministry, within the next years, is going to set up forest villages in all forest clusters of Greece and thus create centres of development for mountainous areas of our country, places of recreation and environmental training, resorts from the modern life stress, through a direct contact with nature.
