We want to reduce carbon footprint doing permaculture, "greenbuilding", to promote new way do live in the nature in harmony
Kalistratia, the name our association, is a "greanica" word (from Calabria, originated from Greek culture), means good trip. So we want to promote new way to live in contact with nature. Our ideas is to live an experience here, in Calabria (Polia mainly), later when come back in in their own land. To sow a new way of living in contact with nature always in function of the different latitudes but with the principle of respecting the hidden harmony of the relationship between man and nature.

As a volunteer, you’ll help organize the Kalabria Eco Fest — a community festival promoting sustainability and local culture. Activities include painting public staircases and supporting workshops on environmental topics. It's a unique chance to live rural life, connect with locals, and contribute to a greener future.

ℹ️ Additional information

Throughout the project, volunteers will participate in both practical and non-formal learning activities designed to build their skills and knowledge in line with the project’s objectives. Training will focus on environmental sustainability, community engagement, and event organization, including sessions on ecological awareness, teamwork, intercultural dialogue, and creative expression through art (e.g., painting public spaces).

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).
