About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

From 4-15 May 2023, we're looking for 14 participants between the ages of 18 and 30 to join us in a project focused on sustainability, natural building, and permaculture. Working alongside experts from the Greek organization Cob.gr, you'll help create an educational center in the forest that teaches about living in nature, outdoor and experiential learning, and sustainable practices. You'll have the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life and immerse yourself in nature, while camping and living in a community. In this project Roots & Roofs, you'll work together and learn how to build the foundations for future construction activities by digging and leveling the soil, shaping and peeling the wood, transporting materials and more.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Very wild-style. We will stay in a tent camp in the forest in Tramonti. Nearby facilities will be available for cooking, will include 2 toilets and 1 shower inside and 1-2 showers outside. Food will be provided. 30min to the next food store, 50min to the center of Tramonti.

🎒 Leisure activities

Participants will be introduced and guided through all activities. You will learn practical skills on how to build the foundations for building an eco-building. Learning outcomes include understanding of sustainable living and permaculture principles, teamwork and community life in an outdoof camp, and resilience.

⚠️ Requirements

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).
