About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Evolving Cycles is a Greek NGO, serving ecotopias, eco-conscious projects based on Permaculture and Sociocracy. Calme Garden is an Eco Cultural Community Center and Permaculture Garden in search of 2 international volunteers for 4 months. This summer due to the devastating and widespread wildfires in Greece, Calme Garden lost part of its infrastructure and gardens. Thus, this project focuses on its Re-Generation! We will start working on an Ecosystem Regeneration Land Project, in partnership with Holly Gardner, an experienced Permaculture Ecologist, to establish a more resilient and regenerative land organism at Calme Garden! We will be also running the kids Nature School, community building workshops, food foraging and processing activities & many more events and workshops, spreading environmental awareness and socio-ecological regeneration!

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).
