We will invite the entire population to a social event every Saturday. This could be a night of music and dancing, teaching each other to play an instrument, cooking food from your home country, movie night etc.
Accomodation & food:
Sleeping facilities:The Association for Greenlandic Children ensures that you will get a place to stay. We expect you to stay in a shared bedroom with other volunteers of the same sex. Telephone coverage might be scarcely, and you might not be able to use the internet more than once a week for a very short time.Kitchen + bathroom facilities: All food will have to be transported by ship. Therefore you should be able to adapt to these local conditions or bring a small stock of goods yourself. It can be difficult to be vegetarian or vegan since many meals in Greenland is based on meat and fish. Therefore you will have to bring some stuff yourself if you need a special diet.We will make cooking and cleaning teams. The group is responsible for shopping, cooking, cleaning etc. which is also going to take up some of your time every day. So, you should expect long days.

The nature in Greenland is in general amazing. In Qeqertarsuaq the area is lush and green, and the weather should be sunny and nice. You can hike, go boat riding etc. in your leisure time.Hiking in the fells is an amazing and unique experience. You can decide to organize a weekly leisure activity going hiking, fishing etc. on Sundays, which is your weekly day off.Hopefully, the gym will be accessible to us around the clock. It will also be possible to play football or other sports with the community.

« I had not appreciated that so few people come out in the East Asian countries that my telling them was something extraordinary. This was also the most interesting aspect of the workcamp in terms of trying to expand the awareness of other ways of living, and there was never any hostility or problems because of it. »
