Volunteers will work full-time (between 30 and 38 hours per week) and will have two days off per week. The volunteers will carry out the following activities: - Establishment of tree nurseries and planting of trees in homes, schools and community social places to enhance vegetation cover, reduce soil drought and the risk of flooding; - Support community members in the farms to enhance methods of cultivation, irrigation, harvesting and increase productivity; - Educational sessions on permaculture and environmental sustainability in schools and other social places. Starting and end dates are flexible within the month of September and October 2024 (21 days).

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).
