At the end of last month, Service Civil International (SCI) had to close their office in Antwerpen, Belgium due to budget cuts. 💔

It was not an easy decision, but one that had to be made so we can strategise for SCI’s future. 🌱

They shared their final goodbyes around drinks and snacks and started planning for what's next.

If you'd like to support us in keeping peace work and SCI spaces decolonised, please donate to the fundraising campaign!

Any amount makes a difference and is greatly appreciated. Thank you for standing with us! 🙏🌍

🌿✨ Do you feel like you need a break from the digital world?

SCI Germany is organising a volunteer project Digital Detox in the Forest!

At Friedmunt’s Farm, you’ll immerse yourself in a forest lifestyle far removed from everyday life. 🌲 You’ll learn from an experienced botanist who has been working with seeds, plant diversity and organic farming for over 30 years.

You will:

- Look after plants in the garden and in the fields and help with seed preservation
- Live self-sufficiently: fetch water from the spring
- Prepare firewood and cook together on a wood-burning stove
- Experience working with fire through the daily Agni Hotra rituals at sunrise and sunset

Enjoy moments of peace, reflection, and reconnect with nature in a completely different way. 🧘‍♀️

📵 This camp is deliberately designed as a non-digital experience, where mobile phones are left behind to fully disconnect and recharge.

📍 Bernkastel-Kues, Germany
📅 18 Jul – 2 Aug 2026 and 15–30 Aug 26
