About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

This project is co-organized by VolTra in collaboration with local partners, aiming to foster sustainable living, community resilience, and cross-sectoral cooperation. Our main partner in this project is a programme dedicated to revitalizing remote village into an enchanting forest village through community-driven rural sustainability, integrating nature-based solutions, cultural heritage, and innovative partnerships to foster resilient, self-sustaining communities.

💼 What the programme involves

Bootcamp participants will engage in hands-on community-based volunteering rooted in the rural revitalization efforts of Mui Tsz Lam and Lai Chi Wo. Work activities include: • Coffee Bean Farming & Trail Repair: Support the local coffee field through light farming, weed clearing, and footpath maintenance. • Mini Voluntary Tour ：Foreign participants will co-lead guided tours with locals, offering experiential insights into sustainable village life through voluntary work. • Co-creation with the Community：Participants will collaborate with the local participants to create a mosaic tile art installation, capturing shared memories of the village.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Except for the first night and the last night, participants will stay in Mei Tsz Lam Camping Area, offering a close-up experience of rural life and heritage preservation. Tent-based stay with mat included (no sleeping bag provided). For bathing, an indoor option with hot water will be provided during the camp. Participants need to cook and wash dishes themselves. Ingredients will be arranged. Please bring your sleeping bag(or tell us in advance if you do not have one, so that we can prepare it for you).

📍 About the location

The Bootcamp takes place in the scenic Hakka villages. Participants will enjoy: - Sunrise Eco Hike Start the new year with a guided hike to experience the natural beauty and biodiversity of the area. - Coffee Tour & Tasting Learn about the village’s coffee revival story, from bean to cup. - Cultural Night & Cross-Cultural Cooking Join a special Farm to Glass evening to prepare unique drinks using homegrown herbs and ingredients, and share stories across cultures in a warm, collaborative setting.
