📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

WE ARE LOOKING FOR "GREEN HEROES" for our eco-camp in frame of ESC group volunteering: The main theme of the project is ecology. The main objectives are: increasing ecological awareness among project participants and awareness of own responsibility for the environment and surrounding. To the general theme of "ecology" we also want to include themes such as: healthy lifestyle and outdoor sports, nature education, intercultural education, sustainable development, "zero / less waste" and promoting the permaculture idea. Volunteers will on themselves try to life in the spirit of ‘zero/less waste’ (they will build their own eco-camp, they will learn which plants are eatable, how to build own bed, make own cheese, collecting herbs, etc). Also volunteers will make some cultural animation of the local community during local events.

All volunteers will live in an ecological camp so you need to be prepare for: - sleeping in a large military tent - taking your own mat and sleeping bag - ecological outdoor shower - a compost toilet in the nature - cooking on the fire - living in the spirit of less-waste in general. Travel costs will be reimbursed from project budget. Food or groceries to prepare meals will be provided. The volunteers during all project limit the production of garbage, the usage of electricity and the usage of water.

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).
