💼 What the programme involves
Sustainable living is a topic that is ever more relevant for every European, that is why we always try to put it in the hearth of Lojtra’s projects. The opportunities to gain knowledge&skills for actually living sustainably and self-sufficiently can be hard to come by-in this project we aim to make such opportunities (based in Litija region) more visible and accessible to young people. Our sustainability projects try to balance inner (body, mind, spirit) and outer (community buliding, permacutture ect.) sustainability. By uprgrading our website and creating content for our social media, you will make sure sustainability projects become more visible and accessible. In the process of doing so, you will get to explore, interview and film different initiatives, farmers and institiutions in Litija region, that are important carriers of traditional or alternative wisdom regardin sustainability practices.

🏠 Accommodation on site
As we are looking for a volunteer who is already residing in Slovenia, we will offer you a contribution to your existing housing expenses up to 300€/month, instead of providing you with accomodation. You will also recieve pocket money (5€/day) and food allowance (7€/day) for every day of the project. You will get all the travel expenses, connected to the project, reimburised. There is a good public transport connection to Litija town - this can be your main means of transport.
🎒 Leisure activities
You will attend the On Arrival Training Course, organised by a Slovenian National Agency at the begining of the project. Lojtra's team will always be there to support you in your learning rocess during your project. We will also provide you with the mentor, who will give you up to 4 lessons on web-page development and will always be there for any technical questions you will have, regarding your work.

⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: Strong motivation for learning is the KEY virtue we are looking for! You should also be: able to communicate in English & live in Slovenia. Some experience in web design would make things much easier for you as you will have to work on it individually a lot, but a strong motivation to learn and develop your skills might also be enough. It depends on you, how confident you feel to take on this challenage with the skills you have. To make the most of any experience, it's a good idea to know what you want to take from it. If you don't know concretely yet, having a feeling for your own identity and a desire to do for yourself is a great start.

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 ?
Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
This organisation holds a European Solidarity Corps Quality Label.
