About the project
Ecological and sustainable volunteering in Finnish Ecovillage
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The activities will have two main focuses. Working "internally" in the activities of the Ecovillage, and the activities offered and promoted "outwards" through the cooperation carried out with the other local partners in Keuruu (such as schools, local youth work). The purpose of the volunteers will be to promote the values and activities of the Ecovillage also wider in our cooperations and networks, and in society in general.
💼 What the programme involves
Typical tasks for volunteers are (depending on their skills and motivation): cleaning, cooking vegetarian food, general helping in the kitchen, working in the garden and renovating of buildings. The volunteers will have the oppurtunity to create also such workshops and initiatives in the community, with the aim of developing it. This means that the volunteers can take responsibilities in planning, scheduling and implementing activities on regular basis - based on their own motivation and willingess to share.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation is offered inside the community, in shared rooms of maximum 2 volunteers. Toilet and other facilities such as small kitchen, sauna etc. are shared with other people who are either visiting the Ecovillage or are permanent inhabitants.
Daily vegetarian meals are offered in the big dining hall, with other members of the community.
The community own a common car, which is some cased can be in the use of volunteers who have a valid driving licence. In some cases it can also be possible to share rides with other members of the community.
