About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

For this project we're looking for 6 participants between the ages of 18 and 30 to join us in a project focused on sustainability and natural building. Working in the mountains of Tramonti, a village on the Amalfi Coast, you'll help finalize an eco-building in the forest that teaches about living in nature, outdoor and experiential learning, and sustainable practices. You'll have the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life and immerse yourself in nature, while working and living in a community. In this project, participants will support the development of an eco center located in a chestnut forest together with other activities in the area related to the season. This project is based on the work done in previous projects that happened in 2023-2024. Please mind that travel days will be January 10th and February 15th; for Green travel there are more travel days.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Participants will stay in an appartment with all facilities, sharing the room with other 3-4 people. There will be a walking distance to get to the work site and the nearest grocery shop. For food supply, the participant will get fresh goods coming from our community garden and the community grocery provided by the organisation. Travel costs will be reimbursed according to the ESC guidelines. Travel budget can be slightly higher than for Green travel (according to the ESC guide).

🎒 Leisure activities

Participants will be introduced and guided through all activities. They will learn practical skills on natural building techniques. Learning outcomes include understanding of sustainable living, teamwork, community life and resilience.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for participants that are ready to embrace community living, not intimidated by living away from urban areas and to get their hands dirty while working in nature. Participants should also be prepared for physical work. Previous experience is helpful for this project. Participants will need to be available for the exact activity period.
Deadline: 24/12/2024 00:00

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).
