💼 What the programme involves
The main aim of the project is to inspire young persons with the idea of living community in a sustainable way, across generations and with persons with very different backgrounds. Once the volunteers leave our place they will have experienced ways to realize a common project, ways of living in a sustainable and respectful way with oneself, with others, with nature. They will have achieved methods of taking good decisions in a group, ways of growing by showing themselves, ways to live a daily life together, with all its challenges. We can offer a huge variety of activities:
* helping in our ecological agriculture
* organizing a shuttle system for the community and the surrounding villages,
* organizing common activities like planning and realizing meals together, discussions, movie sessions, workshops, activities with the kids
* helping with construction, gardening and maintainance
* helping with social media, writing posts, making small videos
* realizing own projects

🎒 Leisure activities
The tasks in which the volunteers can contribute and learn new skills vary depending on the season as well as which of our projects is next to be realized. We also try to meet the interests and skills of the volunteers and take them into account. We have formed a supporting team which carries out the weekly jour fixe and regular feedback talks. In the beginning of the volunteer’s stay concrete learning goals are agreed on. At the end of the volunteering period the volunteer’s progress as well as their achievement of the learning goals are discussed in an open dialogue.
