About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

“Next Re-Generation Vol. IV" is a short term ESC volunteering project for 2 international participants with fewer opportunities in activities of Introduction to Permaculture and Natural Building. We aim to provide the participants with theoretical and practical tools by introducing ecological regenerative actions in everyday life, in the small habits that in the long term create a great change. Our goal is to leave lasting imprints on communities by educating people in building and farming in ways that are beneficial for both themselves and the ecosystem. This project is a unique opportunity to combine climate-conscious action with the development of team spirit and learning to work in groups. The volunteers will become familiar with all the tools and techniques necessary to achieve self-sufficiency, increase their employability, and make an impact within their communities.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be sleeping in buildings made of natural materials inside COB’s ecofarm. Bring your own material to be comfortably sleeping outdoors in case of outdoor excursions. Tents are provided. Compost toilets and outdoor showers with hot water will serve our needs. Please bring plant based fully biodegradable toiletry (shampoo, soaps, toothpaste, mosquito repellents). The farm provides us with a big kitchen to cook our daily healthy, vegan meals. The farm is off-grid, energy supplied by a solar panel system, so electricity is limited. Transportation (cars, bikes and local buses).

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).
