About the hosting and coordinating organisation: SEEDS is an Icelandic non-governmental, non-profit organisation with international scope that promotes cultural understanding through the work on nature-oriented, conservation and environmental issues. Frequently, the issue with a lack of engagement in environmental protection is the lack of access to information and education.
