📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

APPLY HERE: https://bit.ly/ESC_Hopeland_2023_info_pack. Live for 10 months in Hopeland, a 7-acre eco place in southern Greece focusing on sustainability, and create your own personalized volunteering experience, as part of an eco community. Use your hands, your mind, your creativity and any other skills you might have to support the Hopeland crew into hosting group trainings and residencies, into maintenance of the place, and into outreaching the local community of Hopeland. 50% of the project is focusing on supporting Hopeland crew in their regular, ongoing tasks, based on 4 domains of service: 1) maintain & upgrade (taking care of the gardens, keeping in a good condition the infrastructure, farming, taking care of the animals), 2) host groups and activities, 3) outreach the local community, 4) leave your own mark (can be anything as far as it is also in line with the Hopeland's vision). 50% of the project is focusing on being part of an educational eco-community as a volunteer.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
