About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The camp is organized by a local activist from the Polistovsky National Nature Reserve which is situated in the northwest of Russia, in Pskov region. It was established in 1994 and it preserves the biggest bog system in Europe. The Reserve works a lot with ecological education for children: there are ecological expeditions, summer schools and different workshops organized for local kids. The main idea of the camp is to promote ecological education, with an emphasis on hands-on experience and create a dual-purpose garden which will provide a space for local children to learn about permaculture and wild plants, and help in a transition to a wider use of permaculture in general.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will - build and maintain vegetable patches according to permaculture principles - work in the garden - work with the local kids: provide educational and cultural activities - collect wild berries and herbs, and make tea out of them - help to organize and celebrate the village day (logistics, organizing workshops, presenting your culture, language lessons, cooking traditional food, etc.) Volunteers will get a chance to learn more about permaculture, the biggest bog system in Europe and will have an opportunity to test themselves as ecological educators for local children.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in a private, fully-equipped house with kitchen and bathroom, and a washing machine. The toilet is an outhouse. There will be a possibility to visit a traditional Russian banya. Food will be cooked by the volunteers in accordance with a cooking schedule. The internet connection is also available.

📍 About the location

Tsevlo village. It is a really small village, situated 200 km away from Pskov and 300 km (which is not far for Russia  ) from Novgorod the Great. Both Pskov and Novgorod are ancient Russian cities that are definitely worth visiting. Volunteers will be met at the station Sushchevo (village Bezhanitsy). (to get there, you should take a train from Moscow or St.Petersburg)
