A workcamp is a place where people of diverse race, ideology, nationality, and age live together while working on a community project anywhere in the world. The workcamps are initiated and organised by community groups and are designed to be of tangible benefit to the local community. They enhance local initiatives and do not replace paid labour. Workcamps usually take between 8 and 20 international participants who work and socialise with the local community. Projects take place all year round but in Europe most occur during the Northern hemisphere summer.
