Resumo: The organization is a permaculture farm and an intentional community that is specialized in natural building, regenerative farming and alternative technologies.
The organization is a social cooperative of sustainable development which primarily started as an educational project to spread the know-how, the philosophy, theory and practice of natural building and bioclimatic architecture guided by the safe and sustainable management of resources and energy. Our organization has been active in the field of youth and adult education for more than seventeen years. It has developed its own training methods, workshops, and courses and has organized multiple educational activities on sustainability and ecology.

This is a long term ESC volunteering project for 4 international volunteers in (2 diffrent timeframes) in activities of Sustainable living in a off-grid regenrative farm. We aim to provide the participants with theoretical and practical tools by introducing ecological regenerative actions in everyday life, in the small habits that in the long term create great social change.

Our goal is to leave lasting imprints on communities by educating people in building and farming in a regnerative way that are beneficial for themselves, theri communities and the ecosystem. This project is a unique opportunity to combine climate-conscious action with the development of team spirit and learning to work in groups. The volunteers will become familiar with all the tools, infrustructure and techniques necessary to achieve self-sufficiency, increase their employability and green skills, and make an impact within their communities.

Condições: This Volunteering Activity will take place in the farm.
Volunteers will be staying in the farm buildings and houses made of natural materials. It is necessary that you bring your own outdoors sleeping material to be comfortably sleeping outdoors in case of outdoor excursions. Have in mind that there are also mosquitos during summer so make sure you bring a natural mosquito repellent. Tents can be provided by the organisation.

Compost toilets and outdoor showers will serve our needs.
As we try to live in balance with our surrounding ecosystem, and the food forest, we are using water consciously. Also please bring plant based fully biodegradable toiletry (shampoo, soaps, toothpaste, mosquito repellents etc.) so the water of the shower and the sink doesn’t harm nature. If you don't have any, we can provide you with a toiletry kit for 7€.
The house on the farm provides us with a kitchen to cook our daily meals, which are healthy and VEGAN only. If you have any allergies or intolerances, please inform us ahead of time, so we can plan accordingly.
There is some internet access on the farm, close to the house, but don´t forget to connect with nature, rather than with the internet.

What’s more, the farm is off-grid and we are energy supplied by a solar panel system, so electricity is limited. You have to consider that our system cannot support heavy energy devices like hair-dryers. All the devices (tablets, cell phones. etc.) should be charged during the daytime. If there is an extended period without sun (heavy clouds/rain), we avoid spending any energy at all, prioritizing our necessities.
It is important for us to know that you agree in spending 8 months in such a simple and basic way of life.
