Resumo: All of us who live here contribute time and energy to developing the ecovillage as a place and as a community. Creating a new model of society is a challenging but inspiring task. It takes a lot of effort, time and commitment. We who live here contribute not only to keeping the ecovillage running well, but also to the social wellbeing of the community. We ask our visitors and guests to be considerate and respectful of our lifestyles and values.

Here in the ecovillage, we live simply (very simply, do not expect anything fancy), and in harmony with nature. We are not against innovative technologies and we use them ourselves when needed, but we do appreciate traditional knowledge and low-tech solutions which empower us and allow us to make more things ourselves instead of buying everything from far-away countries.

This is not a perfect ecovillage, of course, but we are trying to live ecologically, sustainably and creatively; to respect nature and each other.

Perfil: Age: 18-30
The main criterion is the personal motivation of candidates to engage in a sustainable lifestyle and community living. It’s important to demonstrate a basic understanding of actual living conditions in the ecovillage. Those who show curiosity and enthusiasm towards the areas mentioned above are more likely to be selected. The project setting ultimately involves a rural lifestyle and might not be suitable for those who prefer urban activities. Good luck!

Tarefas: The volunteers live and work as co-residents and have the opportunity to experience all the aspects of the holistic model of sustainable living in the ecovillage offers for a year. It is an international community of around 20 people in winter and 30 in summer living tightly together and sharing resources.
Sustainable living, eco-consciousness, community building and active citizenship are some of the core themes. There are 2 different positions the applicants can opt for. The work involves developing the physical infrastructure of the ecovillage and permaculture gardening, as well as participating in international projects.

Condições: The volunteers have simple accommodation, either a small single room or a shared room with one other person. The same condition applies to permanent inhabitants and is part of the voluntary simplicity of life in the ecovillage. The six volunteers will start in April 2023. Food is ecological, vegan and is procured in bulk for the whole community. There is no meat and limited (private) dairy consumption. The town is 8km away. You can use bikes from our communal bikepool. There is a carpool on site and a bus stop close by.
