International language camp is organized for teenagers by The Language School In Down-Town and the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite (ALP S) as part of their annual activities on multicultural issues for youth. The project s aim is to introduce the diversity of world cultures to the youth and provide them with good practices in intercultural communication by means of alternative English language practice which includes meetings, visits and direct contacts to young people from abroad. The project gets teens of 14 to 16 years old familiar with national traditions of the countries from all over the world, encourages them to develop their global thinking and individual initiative, tolerance and resistance to xenophobia and ethnic hatred. Camps give foreign participants a great chance to meet youngsters both from Estonia and other countries as well as to experience local life. This summer we offer you to participate in our new project called MATRIX . Camp participants will learn about different meanings of this word. Together, we will identify the ways how to improve the matrix of the modern world, how to become a better version of ourselves and how to develop our emotional intelligence. Camp participants will acquire life skills that they will need to create their own codes for personal matrices that will have power to change their life for the better. They are the smart matrices of our personalities, souls, love and success, well-being and happy life. Meetings with local and/or international professionals in the field will take place. Thematic photo and video contests for camp participants will be organized.

Sweet games are made of… wood! Join us for 2 weeks of creative adventure where you can bring your ideas to life. You'll be making games out of wood and other salvaged materials, to liven up your afternoons and evenings at the site. You'll have the chance to show off the typical games of your homeland and learn those that have kept Occitan culture alive for decades. Do you know cocagne, or quilles? We can't wait to show them off to you at the community fair we're planning during this project. So come along with your ideas and the desire to create media that promote intercultural discovery. By the way, do you know how these games are made? You'll be supervised by our technical supervisor, who will reveal the secrets of carpentry and guide you through every stage of production, right through to decorating and testing the games. In addition to this main project, we'll be harvesting vegetables from our kitchen garden, as well as building plant dryers - invaluable tools that will enable you to learn techniques for processing the products you harvest. Heads or tails? Either way, come to Citrus and you'll come out a winner!

For over ten years, international volunteers have been building, renovating, imagining and giving shape to a large-scale project. On the heights of the village of Laguépie, the Citrus association is a place of sharing and encounters, where young people from all over the world come to contribute to the renovation and fitting-out of the international welcome center. Since 2012, the association's buildings have been located in the former hamlet of La Mayounelle: offices, a communal living space and an activity room, all surrounded by fields, a green theater and a vegetable garden. Accompanied by experienced leaders, you'll live at the heart of the association and share daily life with the Citrus team and other volunteers on site.
On the Citrus association's international host site, near the village of Laguépie (82250), in the Aveyron gorges, 100 km northeast of Toulouse, between Albi and Villefranche-de-Rouergue. Leisure activities: In the heart of the Aveyron gorges, you'll be able to take advantage of all the possibilities offered by the Tarn-et-Garonne region: swimming in the Viaur river, accessible on foot, visits to medieval villages, kayaking, visits to Albi cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site. With the support of the entertainment team, you'll also organize activities such as musical evenings and Olympics. Last but not least, you'll take part in events where you can meet the local population: international meals, intercultural games, film screenings, traditional festivals, etc.
You'll be accommodated in 8- to 12-person, single-sex collective tents with floors and beds. Amenities include dry toilets and solar-powered showers. A pedal-powered washing machine is available for laundry. There is no wifi connection. You will take part in the upkeep of the premises and in the preparation of meals, accompanied by an educational supervisor in the kitchen. Choices will be made collectively to ensure a balanced diet based on your tastes and local seasonal produce.
