Project hosted by
This project is actively working for SDGs 4 (Quality Education) and SDGs 11(Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with local community center in Ino area. Located in the small Iino district, a village of about 1,000 residents, this workcamp aims to bring new energy and hope to the community. Through this program, local people—both adults and children—can experience joy, connection, and a sense of future possibility. Many children here have limited opportunities for international exchange, though such experiences are vital for their growth. The camp promotes meaningful cultural interaction between volunteers and local children. After a five-year break, the community revived its summer festival last year and is excited to work with volunteers again to make it even more special. Volunteers will also help maintain forest trails for an upcoming trail running event and take part in exchange programs with local children.

Requirements
Positive attitude to communicate with kids.
