About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

+++For registration fill in the form: https://forms.gle/MxvNUKzHtzYHtakL7 Embark on a transformative journey where you will learn about Syntropic Farming which is a unique approach to manage land that is in harmony with nature. It is designed to mimic natural ecosystems. Prioritizing the available resources found on the land (plants, wood, leaves, compost) we will implement several designs. Participants will get a chance to learn the basics of the design process for an agroforestry system. Combining the different dimensions (i.e. stratification, ecological succession, density). For this purpose we will utilize a combination of digital tools such as iNaturalist, Google Earth Pro and Google Spreadsheets to develop designs. These practical skills do not require any prior experience or knowledge to acquire. But they have the potential to empower the participants to become valuable members in their communities, contributing towards the development of the lands and local ecosystems.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be provided accommodation in one of the community houses, sharing a room with one or more fellow volunteers. The rooms are equipped with the basic comforts such as a bed, sleeping bags, pillow. Food: a local team prepares the food for the community (lunch and dinner) according to a vegan and Sattvik diet. There is a self service policy for breakfast. Throughout the whole day there is a tea table with tea, coffee, and fruits. Rides will be provided among the community if needed .

🎒 Leisure activities

As a volunteer, you will be mentored, coached and trained in your role from the concerning coordinator, through direct guidance and through learning by doing. Daily tasks will require your communication skills in English. At last, the nourishing and at the same time challenging surroundings invite you to grow and expand as a person, along with a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing tools.

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).
