About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers help develop and maintain our permaculture garden, maintaining our park, helping with the running of our seminar house for up to 150 guests during an event and working in the organic café, which is a meeting place for hikers and local tourists as well as seminar guests and community members. Volunteers will also be involved in working groups that visit us for a week, giving people who are interested to join our community the chance to experience community living. There can be opportunities to take part and help organise seminars run by members of the community on topics such as Intergenerational Learning, Sustainable Activism, Permaculture and Community Building

🏠 Accommodation on site

We eat organic and mostly vegetarian and vegan food. When we eat together there is always a vegan option available. As a volunteer you have your own room with en-suite bathroom. You share the kitchen, living room, garden and other facilities with the community. And there is a music studio and a yoga and meditation space, that can be used by everyone.

🎒 Leisure activities

German classes will be provided as needed. Two mandatory trainings are organised by the German National Agency, an On-Arrival and Mid-Term training. You'll be able to to meet other volunteers from all over Germany. You are free to choose your own project, using your creativity and skills. The project should have either a direct link to sustainability or a clear solidarity aspect (e.g. working with children or young people from the surrounding villages). It is a great opportunity to try something unrelated to your work experience and to expand your individual skills.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for volunteers who are interested in sustainability and community living in a rural location.

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 ?
