About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The hosting organization is a permaculture farm and an intentional community that is specialized in natural building, regenerative farming and alternative technologies. The goal of the host organization is to leave a lasting footprint on communities by teaching people to build and farm in a regenerative way that benefits themselves, their communities and the ecosystem. This project is a unique opportunity to combine climate-conscious action with team-building and learning about group work. You will become familiar with all the tools, infrastructure and techniques needed to achieve self-sufficiency, increase their usability and make an impact in the communities. Workshops for young people run here frequently, and the volunteers are following their intuitive learning path through the practical exploration and implementation of techniques and practices like cob ecobuilding, natural farming, healthy nutrition, zero waste lifestyle and renewable energy solutions.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be staying in farm buildings and houses made of natural materials. It is necessary that you bring your own outdoors sleeping material to be comfortable in case of outdoor excursions. You have to bring plant based fully biodegradable toiletry. The farm provides us with a big kitchen to cook your daily healthy, vegan meals. The farm is off-grid, and the energy is supplied by a solar panel system: so electricity is limited in winter. You’ll be provided with a pocket money for your personal necessitites.The travel expenses from Italy to Greece and back will be fully covered.

🎒 Leisure activities

You’ll attend 3 official trainings: the first before leaving Italy, the second in a few weeks from your advent in Greece, and the third around the end of your experience. You'll get learning of different natural building techniques, sustainable development and ethical permaculture. You'll experience a community life and participate in educational excursions to other farms and projects in Greece. You'll be able to run workshops on self-sufficiency and learn how to make natural cosmetics. You'll be trained about regenerative agriculture, farming activities, food processing and ethical rearing.

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).
