📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This ESC activity will take place in the sustainable initiative farm, therefore volunteers will interact with examples of good practices of low environmental footprint in rural life. The schedule will include various activities; mainly practical with explanations from different fields of sustainable practices while working (mostly permacultural farming, natural construction, community living, social permaculture, social entrepreneurship, energy resources, water cycle on the estate, and natural cosmetics). The working hours will be 7 per day, including cooking and cleaning inside the schedule. We start in the morning, 8 am, and work until 4 pm (1 h of break). We end with lunch together and after it is free time to rest, connect, do some walks etc. The aim of the activity is to live together on the farm and everyday village life. At the same time to take care of our selves, other - to make new connections and to learn from each other while volunteering and taking care of the place.

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).
