📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
United Vision is an NGO focused on language and environmental
education for children and young adults and promotion of volunteering.
United Vision is a non-profit organization founded in 2011 based in Prague, Czech republic focusing on rural development, education, nature conservation and volunteering in the Czech Republic and abroad. United Vision is also a founding member of CCBC coalition (ccbc.cz/en/), an association of non-governmental organizations that work together to protect biodiversity and educate local population on environmental topics in various parts of the world.
Our organization focuses on youth mobility in the field of environmental and language education and also promotes national and international volunteering activities . Our aim is to promote sustainable development and international cooperation through education. We focus on environmental themes, language teaching, ecological awareness, intercultural education and solidarity between people from all around the world.
We mainly work with young people from local communities both in Czech republic and within EU countries and our partner organizations outside EU. Our aim is to promote cooperation and ecological awareness through education in the projects we participate with our partners. Through our activities we want to prevent the climate change our country and the whole planet faces through sustainable use of our resources. That is why we organize workshops and volunteering activities in cooperation with our partner organizations.
All members of United Vision have their own unique long-term volunteering experience and want to help other people to experience the power of beeing a volunteer. Our main goal is to spend time with people we like preparing activities that make sense for community and general public.

💼 What the programme involves
The ecoadventure center Divočina can be understood as a place for sharing, meeting, trying alternative technologies, recycling, exchanging ideas, learning languages and protecting biodiversity. The space we have created has an ecological, community and social dimension. The ecocentre and community garden is a place where people of all ages and social classes meet for workshops on sustainable lifestyle, gardening, lectures or an evening campfire. Furthermore, we prepare interactive excursions and workshops for kindergartens, primary and secondary schools so that children and young people can experience ecological approaches and technologies and understand the importance of protecting biodiversity in natural gardens and edible forests.
We are searching for three volunteers to help us organize eco-adventure workshops and camps for children and teach English using fun and informal teaching methods, focused primarily on conversation. https://www.united-vision.org/blog/causes/keen-on-green
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation is provided right in the eco-adventure center Divočina. Each volunteer has their own private room and shared bathroom. The kitchen is shared with all the people in the centre, who cook vegetarian dishes together. Internet is available, as well as bicycles for commuting around the town. In case of commuting to a greater distance, the volunteer is reimbursed the fare.
🎒 Leisure activities
We provide on-arrival training for the volunteers. We introduce them into the local specifics and provide them with practical information about our centre, planned activates, our partner organizations and about Malešov (village where the centre is based). We also organize regular meetings, plan activities together and provide feedback and guidance. We try to involve the volunteers into the local community, insure their proper adaptation into the work and evaluate their role within the project. We also provide them space for developing their own project depending on their interests.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: Most of the activities in the center take place outside and with people. The opportunity is therefore ideal for social people who like to spend time outdoors, in nature, with people of all ages and children. Furthermore for people interested in permaculture, community garden, natural architecture or ecological practices. We welcome everyone with team spirit, empathy, autonomy, flexibility, responsibility, patience, respect for different cultures and traditions, openness and willingness to learn new things
