📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
RELEARN Suderbyn is a non-profit NGO working locally and internationally on the topics of environmental resilience, social justice, respect for human rights, democratic development, transformative education and international cooperation for sustainable development. We have experience in working with and leading various projects: locally, within the Baltic region and internationally.
The NGO was founded in Suderbyn Permaculture Ecovillage on Gotland in 2007. Over the years the NGO shifted its focus from local promotion of ecological lifestyle to regional and international work with the focus on education and holistic models of social and environmental sustainability. Our activity areas are:
1. Non-formal education for youth and adults;
2. Action Research and outreach;
3. Cross-border cooperation: across national borders and across different sectors.
Our mission is to work for a sustainable society where innovative solutions are integrated with rediscovered traditional knowledge. Through experiential methods we work with holistic learning, considering the society, nature, economy, culture and individuals as integrated parts of one complex system. To maximise and diversify our contribution towards social/ecological transition, we work with individuals, groups and international projects in various aspects of global, local and inner sustainability.

ℹ️ Additional information
The project will weave together 3 themes over the course of 3 weeks: Creating sustainable living spaces through activities organised by the infrastructure/building domain of Suderbyn. Applied permaculture design through activities organised by the garden domain of Suderbyn. Personal and group development with activities organised by the social domain and the community’s NGO RELEARN.
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).
