About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The focus of the project is on permaculture, agriculture and rural empowerment. Activities will be related to general land management, agriculture and permaculture (e.g. vegetable gardening, picking and processing fruit and vegetables, caring for and watering small trees and plants, small building, craft and art projects using wood and recycled materials). Volunteers will help with the day-to-day management of the land and specific activities may arise from each volunteer's particular skills/abilities. Tasks will be organised in small groups and activities will be rotated.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Only vegetarian food will be provided for cooking. There will be four glamping tents with mattresses inside. The toilet is a composting one. Outside solar shower is provided. Water comes from a well, and it's possible to fill tanks for personal use. Drinking water comes from public wells provided by the town of Antillo. The warehouse is the only indoor space where cooking will take place and is fully equipped. It is possible to cook with gas or wood. Electricity is only available close to the warehouse. There is a canopy to take shelter from the rain.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: This activity is suitable for volunteers with an interest in agriculture and permaculture, who enjoy the countryside and hiking. Great spirit of adaptation is fundamental.
Deadline: Application deadline: 30/04/2024

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).
