📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Yamochori is a Project that started two years ago in a village of Etoloakarnania, in
Makria Logka. It is a village of few permanent residents with a great need for activism
strengthening the youth of the area, environmental awareness and mobilization. This
is the reason why we consider to integrate into our small community additional
volunteers through the ESC program. Our organization already have volunteers
through other internationals networks, but we believe that the ESC program will
enhance its longevity.
Our field operates as the village square as it is open to everyone without a fence, is a
meeting point and interaction, a school for the development of farming methods for
farmers, building techniques for the builders, improving learning and teaching
methods for teachers, raising awareness about climate crisis, recycling, zero waste,
processing, composting etc.
