📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
We are a community of 15 people living in a beautiful land surrounded by meadows, forests&ponds, 1h south of Prague, CZ. Volunteers will experience a community lifestyle. They will help to develop a new ecovillage, learn to grow food in a permaculture way, plant trees, conserve & ferment foods, make kombucha drinks&remedies, cook vegan meals & prepare raw food recipes. Volunteers will learn to run community kitchen&zero waste shops and housekeeping in general. Furthermore, volunteers might learn about carpet weaving, sewing, soap making, natural building, or wood carving. We will share our experiences & know-how on various topics like nontoxic, minimalist&zero waste household, weaving, fasting, raw vegan & vegan diet, herb&mushroom picking, yoga sessions, music etc. You can experience community building techniques, develop your communication skills in non-violent ways and learn to share your emotions by getting in touch with them.

🏠 Accommodation on site
The accommodation is in a shared room (2 ppl) with a possibility to stay overnight in a teepee or a tent. We are also considering buying a caravan for volunteers. The room is in a farmhouse - the main public area of the community and the place of most working activities. There is a well equipped kitchen, laundry room, common room with sofas and a dining area, wifi, bathroom with showers and toilet. We operate a zero waste shop with basic groceries and a permaculture garden. The volunteers might prepare common meals or cook just for themselves. Nearest town–Čimelice is 3 km.
🎒 Leisure activities
The project is a unique learning experience with many opportunities for informal learning in a wide range of areas of sustainability, self-sufficiency, self- development, healthy and community lifestyle. In general, we inspire many people to become the change they want to see in the world. The volunteers might gain a very in depth knowledge about all the activities listed above. It depends solely on their interest. They will be provided with a mentor and encouraged to make a monthly learning plan. Apply here:http://spoluzemevrabsko.cz/esc
