About the project

ESC: Individual Volunteering in Zaježová – Horses, Farming, Crafts & Rural Life

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Get your hands dirty and learn real skills! Embla is a rural organisation in Zaježová, Slovakia, where volunteers can work with horses and cattle, regenerative farming, food production and traditional crafts.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Activities may include horse care, groundwork, training and riding; cattle care and regenerative grazing; maintaining pastures, removing overgrown vegetation, planting trees and creating water-retention measures. Volunteers can also help harvest and process food, including meat for our own needs.

🎒 Leisure activities

In our workshop, you can learn blacksmithing, make jewellery and Damascus steel knives, and try woodworking, leatherwork, stone or clay. Embla also runs practical craft workshops for children and adults, where volunteers can assist and learn.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Activities change with the season and your interests. No previous experience is required – curiosity, motivation and willingness to learn are what matter most.
Deadline: 30/08/2026 00:00

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).
