📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We are a community of 15 people living in a beautiful land surrounded by meadows, forests&ponds, 1h south of Prague, CZ. Volunteers will experience a community lifestyle with us and together as an international team. They will help to develop a new ecovillage, grow food in a permaculture way, conserve & ferment foods, make kombucha drinks&remedies, cook vegan meals & prepare raw food recipes. Volunteers will learn to run community kitchen&zero waste shops and housekeeping in general. Furthermore, volunteers will help us to prepare and organise a five days long eco festival. They will make DIY seating areas, decorations, land art, signs, etc. They might also learn about carpet weaving, soap making, or wood carving upon their interest. We will share our experiences & know-how on various topics like nontoxic, minimalist&zero waste household, fasting, raw vegan & vegan diet, yoga sessions, music etc. Apply http://vrabsko.cz/esc

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accommodation will be in tents with a shared indoor bathroom (shower & toilet). The shared bathroom is in a farmhouse - the main public area of the community and the place of most working activities. There is a well equipped kitchen, laundry room, common room with sofas and a dining area, wifi, bathroom with showers and toilet. We operate a zero waste shop with basic groceries and a permaculture garden. The volunteers might prepare common meals or cook just for themselves. Nearest town–Čimelice is 3 km away. We can drive volunteers there or they can walk or ride bikes. Prague is 1h away.

🎒 Leisure activities

The project is a unique learning experience with many opportunities for informal learning in a wide range of areas of sustainability, self-sufficiency, self- development, healthy and community lifestyle. In general, we inspire many people to become the change they want to see in the world. The volunteers might gain knowledge about all the activities listed above. It depends solely on their interest. They will be provided with a mentor and encouraged to make a learning plan. They may also take up a three week long challenge in various topics of sustainability. Apply here: http://vrabsko.cz/esc

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).
