Kopu village is a centre of Municipality of Kopu, one of the smallest in Estonia with total population of around 700 people. International workcamps have been taken place there since 2001. During past summers volunteers helped to build sport facilities for local school, cleaned up the school park, and did some renovation jobs at the old graveyard. Besides practical help, the volunteers made a significant impact on community life bringing new dynamics, intercultural exchange and international contacts to local youth. Being inspired by the years of international volunteering experience Kopu Municipality authorities continue hosting international camps and invite international volunteers this summer again. This year international camp will be combined with the national teenage work- and leisure camp taking place in Kopu at the same time.
Kopu Primary School occupies old German manor house surrounded by the large park. There will be various jobs in the area – the most important task is preparation works in herbal garden next to the park, also clearing and tidying up of the park as well as other objects such as public playgrounds, local graveyard, surrounding of newly opened visiting centre etc. One of the works is also preparing woods for the school heating in winter period. In cooperation with Tipu Nature School volunteers will have the opportunity to help out there for one day – that gives you the chance to see a bit of Soomaa National Park that is situated just next to Kopu Municipality. Work will be mainly outdoors. Volunteers will be working along side with local youngsters of the national camp. Work lasts 4 hours a day from 9 am until lunch. After lunch there will be diverse activities together with local youth and free time for the group own activities. The age of local young people is 14-26.
