📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Association Osada Możliwości was established in 2021 by a group of people with background in ecology, activism and community building in order to create new possibilities for adapting in the fast changing reality of climate change and for better understanding and implementing new ideas of how we could live differently on our planet. The main project of the NGO is OSADA - Center for Regenerative Living. Osada is an intentional community based on the agricultural land in Western part of Poland (Prosinko) with the mission of deep exploration and radical transformation of human lifestyle towards a regenerative culture. We practise and research the three interconnected aspects of regenerative living: personal growth, deepening community and meaningful contribution to the ecosystem. Our goal is to create a place to discover together what it means to live regeneratively in connection with others and the surrounding ecosystem, and to grow up to be more responsible for the world and what we create. Our target group is people of all ages who want to explore with us other possibilities of life on our planet. Osada is a place of living experiment and inspiration on how to be engaged in processes supporting life in times of socio-environmental crisis. We organize on-site workshops, trainings, camps, and volunteering for young and adult people. We are supporting communities embedded in the local natural and social environment.

💼 What the programme involves

As a part of our volunteer team, you'll engage in the enriching experience of working on the land with the community. From gardening and farm maintenance to harvesting and food processing, you'll play an important role in promoting local food security and healthy eating habits. Our market garden and young forest serve as a way to reconnect people with the land, with the food we eat, and the people around us. We will also work on the topic of building community through various group practices to deepen trust and love for each other. You'll have the chance to learn regenerative farming techniques and understand the importance of biodiversity in our ecosystem. By working side by side with fellow volunteers and local residents, you'll foster a sense of community and shared purpose, creating lasting friendships and strengthening social ties. Your contributions will help build a resilient local food system. Your gained experience of deep connection will radiate in your local communities.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We are rooted on the outskirts of the village in the Drawskie Lake District, far away from the city, between wide meadows and beautiful forests. We sleep in modest conditions, in a 5-bed glamping tents. We prepare and eat together vegetarian/vegan meals (3 meals a day). Ecological dry outdoor toilets with outdoor showers are shared with other residents. Summer kitchen with food storage, dining space, workshop tent, wifi space, single-story house and nature all around are open to everyone. Practically all of the infrastructure is outside.

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).
