Education will be provided on site by Julien our farmer. The volunteer will be responsible of a defined area of the pedagogical garden. Tasks will be: -follow the cultures, -harvest, plant, water -propose/organize nature activities on the pedagogical garden with kids -feed and take care of the animals -watch the kids during lunch break at Tzama forest school (together with 3 other volunteers) -maintenance of small machines, warehouse building - establish connections between the farm and the schools and make sure pedagogical activities are happening in a safe, educative and fun environment -prepare the vegetables baskets of the social grocery on fridays
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteer will have the opportunity to be accommodated in a shared apartment provided by our association partner Tambour battant in the city center of Mulhouse, 30min by train from the work place. A monthly train card and a bicycle will be provided. For food needs, a monthly allowance will be given to the volunteer. This is in addition to the monthly pocket money. Three other volunteers from Tzama will be accommodated in the shared apartment.

Being on a daily basis with farmer, teachers as well as nature educators will be a wonderful training opportunity which might be valuable for the next steps in the volunteer career.
