About the project

ECODOUBS

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Volunteers live and work in an intercultural and non-denominational community where all are invited and accepted. Around ten people live here permanently. At the time there are several projects running.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will mainly work in the garden and for the ecological straw ball house project. Helping to sell at the communal markets nearby is also a task. There are always different ongoing works in the community such as renovation, construction. According to the abilities, volunteers are contributing to the communal household with general maintenance tasks, offering childcare etc..

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers have their own space in the main building. Toilets and showers are nearby. The communal room is equipped with a kitchen, where volunteers cook for themselves at night. Even though volunteers live on the countryside, the site is accessible with public transports.

📍 About the location

Essertfallon, a tiny village is located in the northern highlands of Switzerland. The river Doubs, the frontier with France, is really close by. The closest village is the medieval fortress St-Ursanne, wherefrom Basel can be reached by train within one hour.In their leisure time volunteers can go for a walk in the nearby woods. The families are used to share their free time with volunteers and invite them to join in, when they undertake occasional trips. As there s public transport, volunteers could visit Porrentruy etc. by themselves.

⚠️ Requirements

Volunteers are living in a remote area. As the hilly surroundings are an eye-catcher, nature lovers wanting to live away from bigger cities for some time will surely be happy. This project is open for asylum seekers
