📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Only applications made in this form will be considered. DO NOT APPLY VIA THE YOUTH PORTAL! Green Skills integrates the participants into an international community and facilitates their taking part in civil society and grassroots initiatives. It seeks to address societal issues such as climate change and social discrimination through youth empowerment and competence building. Our main objective relates to environmental challenges that we face globally, as well as to the need for resilience; socially, politically, and environmentally. Through events like workshops, presentations, or documentary screenings, people at Suderbyn have many chances to become more informed about the complexities of environmental, political, and social sustainability. The participants contribute to all aspects of running the ecovillage and are organized in 4 separate activity domains, namely: Infrastructure, Permaculture Garden, International projects & networks, Office & Administration. 

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be hosted at Suderbyn ecovillage. Simple accommodation, private rooms, vegan food. The ecovillage is located 9km away from Visby, the main town on the island of Gotland. Gotland is in the middle of the Baltic Sea and part of Sweden. There are daily ferries from Stockholm, capital of Sweden, to the island. You can read more about Suderbyn here: https://suderbyn.se/

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project

  • language course
  • Return Week-end
