About the project

ESC: Muddy hands make the world a better place III.

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our small eco-community in a picturesque farm above the Balaton lake in Hungary offers a 3-week group volunteering experience where you can learn about permaculture, gardening, eco-architecture, and a simple, off-grid life as close to nature as possible. You will work with soil, mud, stone and wood - so if you are not afraid of making your hands dirty, this is the adventure for you!

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accomodation: In your own tent. Food: Provided by the community, prepared together. Healthy, organic, mostly vegetarian and vegan options.  Water, bathroom, toilet: We bring drink water from a nearby well.  We use outdoor showers using harvested rainwater.  We exclusively use outdoor compost-toilets that we have built ourselves.  Your travel will be reimbursed by the European Solidarity Corps program up to 275 Euros (up to 2000 kms).  We strongly encourage you to choose green travel options such as train or bus.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Young people (18-30) from all over Europe who do not mind working hard, making their hands dirty and living among simple conditions. We will host 8 participants from abroad and 2 Hungarian participants, a total of 10 volunteers.
Deadline: Application deadline: 31/05/2024

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
