About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 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.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The participants will stay in houses for part of their stay and during the warmer months we're move to the farm and stay in big bell tents. The tents are spacious and have comfortable mattresses. The farm has all the necessities for a comfortable stay such as warm water, composting toilets, a fully equipped kitchen, electricity from solar panels and wi-fi all in the midst of a beautiful Acacia forrest in the mountain. In the farm we eat a vegeterian diet, with local seasonal products some of wich we cultivate ourselves. We'll cover the full transport of our participants, any way they need.

🎒 Leisure activities

During the opportunity the participants will learn about practices such as permaculture, regenerative agriculture, natural building, renewable energy. They'll train on how to use tools for farming and natural building. Also volunteers will be able to learn about yoga and meditation since these practices are fundamental to our project's stracture.

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).
