About the project

ESC: Rêve de Terre

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

"Rêve de Terre" is a non-profit organization based in southern Belgium, focused on environmental education. Its activities include school programs, nature camps for children, nature walks, workshops on traditional skills, and supporting permaculture gardens. The organization has recently expanded to a new site at "La Gatte d'Or" in Harsin, where it plans to organize environmental education activities. The site includes a 2-hectare plot, and the organization aims to enhance biodiversity and offer seasonal garden discovery activities. Volunteers will help to create vegetable plots, prepare soil, and plant seeds and shrubs. If the weather prevents outdoor work, small renovation tasks will be carried out on the building. Another major project is constructing a bread oven, volunteers will assist with the bread oven’s construction under technical guidance. The project will culminate in an "open house" event where volunteers will help organize and animate the event.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will sleep on the first floor of the self-catering “La Gatte d’Or” in Harsin, in rooms with two beds. Four toilets and three showers are available on the same floor, as well as a dining room where volunteers will eat and cook. “Rêve de Terre” will take care of shopping and preparing menus for the first few days, after which volunteers will be able to give free rein to their imagination and culinary talents! However, volunteers are asked to use seasonal and local products.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The ideal participants are volunteers passionate about environmental education and sustainable living, with an interest in gardening, landscaping, and traditional craftsmanship. They should enjoy working outdoors, be proactive, and have a willingness to contribute to community projects and activities. We ask volunteers to respect the peace and quiet of the village and the sleep of the neighbours, as well as the animals (donkeys and ponies) that are on site. The volunteers are required to have a basic level of english or french.
Deadline: 12/04/2025 16:04

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).
