1)Brief History

When: MCE was established on January 11^th, 2001 by an individual who had participated in the 3^rd Training & Networking Workcamp of NVDA in Vietnam.

Why: Before 2000, there were no workcamp organizations or international voluntary service in Mongolia. However, there was much need for international voluntary projects to improve a Mongolian society. Through practical work projects, MCE hopes to encourage public awareness of Mongolia’s social problems and promote local actions.

2) Aims

a)To create/ develop/ revive ecological, self sufficient and warm-hearted civilization.

We promote exciting voluntary actions by fresh ideas and mobility as a youth NPO, to shift the world with too much competition and expansion into more healthy one for both nature and people.

b) To encourage activities of NGO/NPOs and activation of local communities

We create opportunities to meet new people and to start new actions by involving many locals. We make bridges between isolated NPOs and local people, and invite youth to depopulated areas.

c) To promote global friendship, understanding and solidarity

We grow exchange naturally among world youth and local people through living, working, talking and laughing together. They can improve global views/ sensitivity and language/ planning skills.

3) Activities

a)To organize international workcamps in Mongolia with local partners and people

b) To send volunteers from Mongolia to workcamps

a) Running cost (staffs, offices, etc.) is managed by the fees from volunteers who join workCamps in Mongolia.

b) Project cost (food, accommodation, transportation etc.) of international workcamps in Mongolia is prepared by the fees from volunteers.

Mongolian workCamps Exchange is always looking for good relations between youth organizations in the international and regional level

We welcome you to join our workcamps, sharing happy time and creating fresh new age together! All campsites have nice nature, blue sky and warm people, so you will discover nomadic life & culture of Mongolia.

Volunteers have to apply not directly to us, but through our partner Workcamp Organizations (WOs) of their own countries unless you live in Mongolia or in countries that have no partners.

Volunteers have to pay the travel cost to/ from workcamps & the following registration & participation fee to partners & to MCE.

By 1-2 months before the projects, volunteers will receive ”Information Sheets” (details of the project, what to bring, the meeting point, how to get there, etc.) together with “Acceptance Letter” and “MCE Volunteers’ Guide”, through the partner organizations.

Don’t wait for the Information Sheets, otherwise you may miss economical flights!

All workcamps in Mongolia, we will pick volunteers up from the airport or train station. Workcamps start in the morning of the first day. And they finish in the afternoon of the last day.

So, we advise volunteers to arrive / leave Mongolia at least a few days before/ after the projects also because volunteers should not expect so much sightseeing during the projects.

And it is quite possible to stay in the cheap guest houses (5-6$ per night) together with volunteers in the same workcamps before/ after the workcamps! (For the details, wait for the info.sheets!)
