About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We are excited to host a volunteering team of 10 people to help out with various projects and events in our local community. As a part of our volunteering team, you'll lend a hand in various activities in and around our town, Litija. The aim of the project is to bring international solidarity to our local community, with ecological or social goals - your work will be to provide help to local organisations, initiatives and farms, and in doing so, to enrich the social lives and environmental work of the local people. Your activities will include - building a compost toilet on our community garden - being part of the event team for a local music festival - helping on a nearby educational farm with cleaning their - greenhouses and barns - taking care of permaculture gardens and daily works at our partner association - helping in a local care and work center

Accommodation will be provided in a shared space on a local farm. Beds with mattresses and pillows will be provided but it's recommended to bring your own sleeping bag. We will provide ingredients for cooking. Every day, 2 participants will be free from working activities in order to cook for the whole team. Transport to and from working activities will be provided in shared cars.

🎒 Leisure activities

We will support you in this new social experience by offering training in social skills and international interaction. You'll also get to gain knowledge and skills in ecological practices, such as permaculture gardening and in the construction skills required to build a compost toilet and a small wooden construction. There will also be the opportunity to learn about producing concerts and similar cultural events.

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 ?
