About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

We are an Eco-Community in Bavaria, founded in 2016. We took over a former vacation village in the beautiful natural area close to the Czech border, which used to be "the end of the world" from both sides for decades. Currently we are approx 40 adults +15 kids, several dogs and cats. We are trying to run a place where people develop together a field for living and working in connection with humans, animals and the environment. By our way of living we aim to contribute an important step towards a world, where all beings can live in peace, trust, freedom, joy and connectedness. In detail we envision and work on : vegan food and education in professional cooking partilly energy and water supply self-supply via permaculture welcoming culture and hospitality art & music common and individual development mutual support and solidarity Trust via transparency and honesty deep authentic partnerships and relationships non-violent communication gifteconomy peace work

💼 What the programme involves

In our six-week Nature Community - Volunteering Team - Spring 24, co-creativity takes center stage. We focus on the interplay of self-determination and the needs of our community, so you, as volunteers, learn how to collaborate with us based on freedom and responsibility. Tasks will range from assistance around events we host, helping with painting and renovations, working in the permaculture garden project, preparing wood from our forest, contributing to our vegan kitchen and taking on smaller tasks for our community members. Experienced individuals from our community will guide you and your fellow volunteers to promote social integration, support group dynamics, and acquaint you with our principle: "Each gives what they can, and receives what they need, in connection with oneself and the greater whole." In the liveliness of our project, numerous practical and social learning experiences await you.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Our eco village is located in a remote area of Bavaria close to the Czech border and far away from city infrastructure. Accommodation will be arranged mainly in shared 3-bed-rooms in our guest house. Meals are vegan, 100% organic and shared and prepared together with our community. Your Travel costs will be reimbursed upon submission of travel tickets after the activity. Please remember to keep all the original travel tickets and bring them to Nature Community. Find more Information about our Project on www.nature-community.de.

🎒 Leisure activities

In our regular group sessions, we playfully utilise social tools to promote individual personality development and authenticity. We enhance communication skills among participants, address internal and external conflicts constructively, and cultivate an increased, authentic vitality for both ourselves and the group.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for open-minded volunteers to join our vibrant, multi generational community-project of about 80 members, for six weeks. If you enjoy exploring new things and are flexible to contribute in various areas – whether it's gardening, renovations, or kitchen tasks – this opportunity might be for you. Please note that we exclusively offer vegan meals during the stay. We value an open mindset for personal growth, reflective abilities, and perseverance.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
