📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

FOR YOUR APPLICATION TO BE CONSIDERED IT IS REQUIRED TO FILL THIS FORM: https://bit.ly/Greenovation3_1_apply DETAILED INFOPACK: http://bit.ly/Greenovation_3_1_Infopack Live for 6 weeks in Hopeland, a 7-acre eco place in southern Greece focusing on sustainability and co-create your dream community with 15 more volunteers from around Europe. Use your hands, your mind, your creativity and any other skills you might have into the enhancement of the place, creation of the nurturing community and into outreaching locals around Hopeland and beyond. Greenovation Volunteering Teams is a dual project. 50% of the project is focusing on creating a nururing eco-community consisting of the volunteering teams' participants. 50% of the project is focusing on 4 pillars supporting Hopeland and its activities happening in place or together with the surrounding community: 1. Maintain & Upgrade, 2. Host groups & activities, 3. Outreach the local community, 4. Leave your own mark and beyond.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is happening in a big camping area that we call the Village, equipped with 5 big teepee tents. The Village is the Volunteers Area. The guesthouse will also be available exempt from the times that another group is hosted in Hopeland. The venture runs in solar panels, therefore, electricity is limited and on rainy days with strong consumption of electricity, we can run out of electric power. There is no possibility of using hair dryers and washing of clothes can only be done the traditional way. There is a separate kitchen building and we opt for vegetarian food.

🎒 Leisure activities

We will be focusing on the essential aspects of a healthy community through an embodied approach & nature based activities. You will be invited to join rituals, meditations, body movement activities, sharing circles, mindfulness exercises etc. We are also aiming at visiting at least one long-term eco-community in the area to learn from each other and create connections beyond our own group. When it comes to hands-on skills we plan to have a group of experts in eco-building in order to train all of us in eco-building techniques.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for people enthusiastic with hands-on activities, eager to take initiatives and create opportunities for themselves and society. You should also be ready to live in a rural environment with basic conditions and ready to be challenged into aligning together with people from different cultures into making together a nurturing community. We lastly suggest you have a clear plan and vision regarding their participation in the project and beyond. Extreme priority will be given to facing or faced any kind of difficulties in life.

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).
