De Amicitia’s main activity is local development and the environment using international volunteer camps (workcamps) as a tool for non-formal education.

De Amicitia offers an opportunity for volunteers, both young and adult, to participate in local and international volunteering activities, especially about the protection of the environment and sustainable development. These mainly include international workcamps, but also activities in local areas such as reforestation.

In addition, De Amicitia participates in international exchanges and seminars for young people, both as a host and a sending organization. These projects focus mainly on social activities and the promotion of development, peace and human rights.

In 2020 in Brussels De Amicitia has been awarded the Startup Europe Awards in the category “Best non-profit organization”.

De Amicitia has been a full member of the Alliance since 2013.
