About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our farm and eco-place is moving to new and more autonome land, so we are looking for motivated youngsters who want to help to learn how to start and set the new bases of an eco-place, how to restore the soil, compost, animal care... and of course, how to live together in harmony with nature. Simple and rural lifestyle! Everything with the intercutural and community learning, by living with 16 volunteers from different countries. And of course, living in a resilient way, following our sustainable and green daily practices. It will be the chance to reflect about our impact, our choices and how we can be agents of change in our society, how to be respectful with the environment and the other living beings. And above all, how to work in a team to be stronger, and show that cooperation have greater results! We will work on the garden (trees and plants), building fences for the animals, compost and soil restoration, and more! Soon the infopack!

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in shared rooms in mobile homes (2 per room) or in big tents (4 to 6 people), at our land in Gardie, surrounded by nature. Volunteers will prepare mainly vegetarian and low impact food and they will cook in teams, 1 day per week. Volunteers will take turns to keep ALL THE COMMON SPACES clean and tidy. There might be a week in camping lifestyle, so basically volunteers will sleep in individual or double tents. There will be days off to enjoy the area and let volunteers explore and travel around. The planning of activities will be shared before the project.

🎒 Leisure activities

This project is mostly to have the help of volunteers for starting the new place, and the first steps into planting and putting the seeds (literally and metaphorically). However, they will have the chance to receive/share different workshops about sustainability, climate change, low-impact kitchen, DIY, permaculture, gardening.... activities will be selected soon!!

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: MOTIVATED youngsters who are flexible and are looking for new experiences in rural and simple lifestyle.

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).
