Since the beginning of the project in 2019, 46 projects across 31 different sites on ten islands have been completed and closed for maintenance.
More than 400 individuals from 40 different countries have volunteered, which is a small percentage of the total number (17.863) of people who have applied. Despite working in various weather conditions, the volunteers have taken on a diverse range of tasks (updated 2023).
TIMELINE
Selection process
We select 80-100 volunteers from a pool of applicants who have signed up on our website. If you want to be notified when registration opens, you can sign up for our newsletter. Around 70% of the volunteers are chosen randomly, while some spots are reserved for journalists, photographers, and individuals with certain skills or backgrounds that we believe will complement the projects. Most of the applicants are from Nordic countries, the rest of Europe and the United States. Besides that, registrations are received from all over the world.
Qualitative evaluations
Visit Faroe Islands strives to maintain a high standard for the project. To achieve this, the organisation conducts surveys and meetings after each annual event to gather feedback on satisfaction levels, identify common challenges, and explore potential improvements. The goal is to enhance the initiative at all levels, while also keeping volunteers and collaborators engaged, motivated, and satisfied.

Our innovative initiative has garnered a lot of interest and attention, with many individuals expressing a desire to conduct research or make assignments related to the project. We welcome and encourage this enthusiasm, and invite you to reach out to us at info@visitfaroeislands.com with any inquiries or proposals you may have. We are always happy to collaborate and share our knowledge with others who share our passion for this initiative.
