ℹ️ Additional information

Learning happens organically in our daily rhythm, through doing, sharing, and reflecting. Volunteers will be guided and supported by experienced members of our team, including an architect, a civil engineer and a woodworker — offering the chance to gain skills in sustainable building Learn to live collectively and navigate the beauty and challenges of intentional community life Participate in optional sessions on philosophy and yoga, combining theory and embodiment The training is not classroom-based — it is lived, shared, and shaped by the group as we grow together.

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).
