Полное описание

This project is actively working for SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with "Kamimamakuchi village" since 2013, and they tried starting new project with volunteer. Depopulation (especially of youth) is a serious problem here similarly in many other country sides. This village have only 20 families and very few young people. It is difficult to keep traditional culture and community work, so we aim to help keeping this landscape/cultures and telling local village’s attraction by young power! *Outcome of this workcamp: Volunteer had painted fence about 1km! And organizing candle night festival, cultural party! Local people really welcome to coming the new people! Please see the long term goal of this project as "Local SDGs" at https://www.slideshare.net/nice-workcamp/2019-wp2 188758763 (only Japanese for the moment, but you can at least enjoy the pictures!).

Дополнительная информация

Volunteers will engage in three primary tasks to support Kaminamakuchi Village: painting artistic designs on mountain-side fences, assisting with rice harvesting, and helping organize community events alongside local residents. These activities contribute directly to preserving the village's cultural heritage and sustainable development. Through this hands-on work, participants will gain practical knowledge about rural revitalization while learning basic Japanese phrases and local traditions. The experience also includes cultural exchange through community gatherings, as well as opportunities to enjoy the natural surroundings through trekking and visits to nearby hot springs. This immersive program combines meaningful work with authentic cultural exchange, allowing volunteers to actively participate in maintaining the village's traditions while forming lasting connections with the community.
