📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
In July 2023, Germany will host the European Ecovillage Gathering organised by the Global Ecovillage Network of Europe at Nature Community, Bavaria. 25 volunteers from all over Europe will arrive 5 weeks earlier through the European Solidarity Corps programme, to help with preparation of the Gathering, as well as to learn by doing things hands-on and gaining a rich experience in international event management and sustainable development.
This is an exciting chance to immerse yourself in the world of ecovillages, by living and working in community and co-creating Europe’s biggest ecovillage event with a diverse international team. A mix of practical work and team-building create a great sense of achievement and bonds for life between the volunteers, many of whom go on to form lasting connections with the ecovillage movement.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The hosting organization will provide for the accommodation of the volunteers. Living conditions will be simple, comfortable, in shared rooms. Three meals are served each day - breakfast, lunch and dinner (all vegan and biological). In addition we provide fruit, water, tea and coffee throughout the day in the dining room. The volunteer is invited to use all other community rooms, like living room, spa-area or the playing room. Internet and laundry is available on a daily basis. Shuttle service is provided, if needed.
