About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Are you a young individual seeking an extraordinary opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment while developing practical skills? You like construct or renovate? Do you have a green passport? Look no further! 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. The main activity is to assist us in developing BioArt Village. You can 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.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We provide basic accommodations that come with the off-grid character of the location. The place is situated close to the city-center and access to bikes is possible after a deposit. Volunteers get pocketmoney and food money, but cooking skills are required. Costs for travel, food and pocket money are provided up-to the funding budget according to the European Solidarity Corps.

🎒 Leisure activities

As our activities and projects are quite diverse, so would be the development of skills and competencies. As you work along with our projects, you can get into self-sustainable practices and concepts; learn how to take care of animals; approach projects and solutions with a DIY mentality and an hands-on approach; learn to apply gardening, renovation, woodworking and so on. Online Linguistic Support is also possible.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: For this specific program, we are looking for volunteers with a green passport 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.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
