📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

!! Please apply via https://www.icja.de/content/freiwilligendienste/programme/esk-dein-europaeischer-freiwilligendienst !! Himmelbjerggården – the ‘Sky Mountain Farm’ – is a Nordic Inspirational centre for sustainable development at Himmelbjerget, Denmark. It dwells on 20 hectares of land surrounded by large forests and lakes. Historically, Himmelbjerggården was an educational home for children and functioned as such for 120 years. Our vision is to address the social and environmental challenges we face as a people, a call to action creating a culture rooted in the four dimensions of sustainability. The land and its 15 buildings of various size and function is gradually being transformed in the regenerative paradigm, with permaculture kitchen gardens, a 2 hectares large food forest and the prospect of a large rewilding project. We are working with nature to support the regeneration of the soil and expand biodiversity as well as growing healthy food.

🏠 Accommodation on site

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
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
