💼 What the programme involves

We are looking for 2 volunteers to support our main activities: care of animals and plants OR harvest of murhsooms, plus help in the moving and creation of a new eco-land. One volunteer will take care daily of the food for animals, water and well being and also maintain their spaces.

With this project, we aim to promote commitment, ledearship, autonomy and resilience in order to make our daily life more ethical. . The volunteers will experience a quality intercultural learning and an openness to the world, having the chance to free themselves from judgements.

🏠 Accommodation on site

IDC is located in a small town, 20km from Carcassonne where the nearest train station and airport are (the volunteers will be picked from there and will be taken to the place). This region is rural, living mainly from wine farming and tourism. The place is surrounded by nature. Accomodation: volunteers will stay in mobile homes, in shared-rooms, usually with another volunteer of the same sex. Food will be bought twice per month, and volunteers will cook healthy and low-impact food! following the food guidelines.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will be supported by our staff of professionals, who will give them the instructions and information, in order to achieve a succesfull accomplishment of the tasks. Although the development of tasks are in autonomy. Communication and feedback are important. There will also be workshops proposed both from IDC and the volunteers, about sustainability, low-impact food, zero waste, DIY, climate change, resilience, personal development..

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).
