Resumo: (Environment)
The educational eco - community is located in a rural remote area in the south part of Greece. The venture is built with lots of love and (mainly) with natural materials from volunteers, visitors and guests who have visited and stayed with us throughout the last 10 years.

We are envisioning a space which can nourish people who are nourishing themselves through nourishing the space that is nourishing them. Thus, creating a spiral of positiveness and mutual enrichment, serving as catalysts for improving our broader society.

We believe in promoting and maintaining the ecosystem’s diversity at the environmental and social levels, so different needs, experiences, and identities can find space and place in our community.

As part of the crew, you will be asked to support hosting these groups in several ways and according to your skills.
It can be preparing the place, cooking, delivering workshops or activities, tutoring them in task-related activities and, in general, supporting the hosting of those groups.

4. Leave your own mark and beyond
