The project will bring together 12 volunteers working as a volunteer team for 51 days, from 15th April to 04th June 2023. Volunteers will promote topics such as environmental protection and the promotion of volunteering. The focus on activity is: 1. garden works with the aim to learn and teach about natural gardening and ecology as well as to maintain school gardens; 2. preparing and organising garden festivals in schools - celebrations of the schools, local communities, and the volunteers in school gardens; 3. local environmental actions - cleaning needed area, and restoring them to their natural state; 4. promoting a healthy lifestyle - by taking part in the vegetarian or vegan challenge.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be accommodated in a local hostel in shared rooms with up to 4-5 other volunteers, shared bathrooms and kitchen, as well as a possibility to do the laundry. Volunteers will be provided with vegetarian/vegan food for lunch as promoting vegetarianism is important to us because of two reasons – sustainability and nonviolence. Costs of travel, accommodation, food, local transportation and activities will be covered by the hosting organisation. The travel costs of participants will be covered up to maximal travel costs for a country according to the European Solidarity Corps rules.
