About the project

ESC: BioArt Village - 2023/2024

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Are you a young individual seeking an opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment, while developing practical skills like animal care, renovation and green maintenance? Look no further! We invite you to embark on a remarkable journey at BioArt Laboratories situated in the green heart of Eindhoven. Our project takes place in an off-grid bunker-complex that looks like an ensemble of rural farmhouses. We are aiming to repurpose these old monumental buildings into a place where we look for a sustainable way of working with nature. During your stay, you will encounter various projects with subjects such as sustainability, system changes for a circular economy and nature. This is a project for people who love to do practical work, are not afraid to get their hands dirty, and are eager to explore new possibilities with a go-getter mentality and proactive attitude.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accommodation is at BioArt Village, a beautiful location surrounded by a forest near the city. The place is off-grid that can fulfil the basic needs, so people have to approach this with a non-wasteful mindset. Common areas are the bathroom, kitchen, and living room. Besides the pocket money, you also receive food money, so some basic knowledge of cooking food is required. The city center is around 15–20 minutes with a bike that can be provided to you. There is public transit nearby.

🎒 Leisure activities

Our project has multiple project durations, so there is something for everyone. We offer short-term volunteering for those eligible (2 months) and long term volunteering (either 6 months or 12 months). Assist us in developing BioArt Village: learn how to take daily care of animals; take care of the garden and forest and learn from nature; learn more about agricultural, self-sustainable practices and concepts while working hands-on with our outdoor DIY projects; and bring new life to old cultural-historical buildings through woodworking, renovation and so on (this can be heavy work sometimes).

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for volunteers who love to do practical work outside, while eager to explore new possibilities with a go-getter mentality and proactive attitude. The volunteer wants to make a meaningful contribution to society and thereby endorse core values such as solidarity, cooperation and mutual understanding and respect. During your stay you’ll interact daily with our colleague’s to develop your English language and we will count on your personal experience and contribution. For Turkish applicants, be mindful of VISA application time
Deadline: Application deadline: 31/08/2024

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
