📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Immerse yourself in a 10-month eco-living experience at Hopeland, a 7-acre sustainable community in southern Greece. Craft your unique volunteering journey, utilizing your hands, mind, and creativity to assist the Hopeland crew in hosting group trainings, maintaining the eco-place, and engaging with the local community. Join a vibrant eco-community and contribute to sustainable living. /ONLY for Bulgarians/

🏠 Accommodation on site

Hopeland educational eco-community is located in a rural remote area in the south part of Greece. The venture is built with lots of love and (mainly) with natural materials from volunteers, visitors, and guests who have visited and stayed with us throughout the last 10 years. We are envisioning a space that can nourish people who are nourishing themselves through nourishing the space that is nourishing them. Thus, creating a spiral of positiveness and mutual enrichment, serving as catalysts for improving our broader society. We believe in promoting and maintaining the ecosystem’s diversity

🎒 Leisure activities

Hands-on actions and activities focusing on the maintenance & improvement of the place. It can be maintaining the gardens and keeping in a good condition the infrastructure and facilities of the estate, farming, taking care of the animals, opening paths, making wooden constructions or eco building, and other initiatives for improving the sustainability factors of the place.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Between March and November, we will have several Erasmus+ groups and volunteering teams being at Hopeland for learning activities. Most of these activities are connected in one way or another with the idea of sustainability. As part of the Hopeland crew, you will be asked to support hosting these groups in several ways and according to your skills. It can be preparing the place, cooking, delivering workshops or activities, tutoring them in task-related activities and, in general, supporting the hosting of those groups.

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).
