About the project

ESC: Green Future

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The goals of the Explosief Natuurschoon foundation are to provide young people with the tools to grow and contribute to a livable and greener future. We aim to achieve this by organizing projects at a biodynamic fruit-growing company and educating volunteers about this sustainable approach. Additionally, we encourage volunteers to initiate projects that involve children from the Netherlands and people in the local community, fostering awareness and learning about creating a greener future.

💼 What the programme involves

You will gain valuable experience in sustainable agriculture by hands on work at a organic dynamic softfruit farm by being actively involved in daily farm tasks.With the experience you gain you will also choose personal projects around the theme sustanibility. This could be organizing community events that promote sustainability or design educational program for schoolchildren on nature and environmental care or other things around these subjects that interest you. This project is highly relevant in today’s world, as it empowers young people to actively contribute to a greener, more sustainable future. By promoting eco-friendly practices and raising awareness, we are shaping a better tomorrow for our planet. Goals for this project: - Build a Greener Future Together. - Design a Space for Learning and Growth. - Promote Creativity and Collaboration. - Build Sustainable Partnerships. - To Enhance European Values like solidarity, cooperation, and sustainability.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We offer on-site accommodation, on the farm where the most activities take place. Volunteers have their own private room. Kitchen and bathrooms are shared, which also makes space for shared meals and connection, camping style life. We provide bikes for getting around and exploring the area. You’ll also receive a Dutch public transport card, which you can use for project- related travel and personal trips. You’ll receive a monthly food allowance and some pocket money, which you can freely use for groceries and fun activities. This gives you the freedom to buy your own groceries and cook meals.

🎒 Leisure activities

As a volunteer in this project, you will learn by actively helping on the farm and by developing educational activities and community events. We will be there to guide you, but most of the learning happens through independence: taking initiative, working autonomously, and exploring your own interests. You will shape your own learning path while contributing to meaningful work. In addition, volunteers take part in EU-provided trainings and a language programme to learn more about the Dutch language and culture.

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).
