💼 What the programme involves

The Project was founded as a non-profit organization in early 2021 and in Anavra/Fthiotis, in a beautiful land of 5,4 acres in the forest, on the foot of Mountain Kallidromo in Central Greece. Our main line of work and aim is to heal and empower people without any discrimination, support them to connect with their emotions and deepen their self-knowledge, through activities that develop in the intersection of wellbeing, nature and eco-living practices. Our daily work involves practices to care and sustain our land and help our project evolve. These include organic farming with permaculture principles, natural building, woodworking, forestry and sustainable water & waste management. Our main goal is to further develop and expand our permaculture garden, natural buildings and shape the land into a self-sufficient eco-village. The volunteers staying at the Project will also learn more about yoga and mindful living. Check our social media to learn more about us.

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).
