Resumo: (permaculture, communication)
For 30 hours a week volunteers will be at the hosting organization, a developing rural permaculture centre. Visitors learn about effective & sustainable design techniques in a place with challenging climate conditions.
The organization started in 2008 with the purchase of 1.5 hectares of olive terraces and pine forests in a stunning, tranquil location. Over the years, many people in an ever-growing international community have become involved and we’ve learned about, and applied, permaculture design during the development of the site.
The long term goal is to create a working example of permaculture principles in action and create an eco-education centre with plenty of space for workshops and courses.
Perfil: Age: 18-30
This is a placement for participants with a maximum age of 30 as it is funded by the European Solidarity Corps. We are looking for people who are highly motivated to learn and apply Permaculture, who are responsible and have an interest in nature and outdoor activities. Applicants should have good communication skills and be ready to live in a small community. They should be prepared for quiet village life and able to travel between the village and the organization by bike or walking.
We also invite participants with fewer opportunities.
Tarefas: The objective of the ESC project is that the volunteers:
- Learn to make and implement designs for an ethical and self-reliant life, based on knowledge of permaculture and ecology and reinforced by the experience of permaculture practice the organization.
- Acquire effective communication and non-formal education skills: person to person skills will be acquired in our solidarity group of volunteers / tutors and with the local community.
- Create networks among people and organizations at the local, regional and international level that work on permaculture issues.
The permaculture practice, meetings and other activities take place for about 30 hours per week, 3km from the village, in the permaculture demonstration site in a beautiful valley immersed in nature.
There are three main activities of the volunteer project:
1) Practice in leading activities, communication, group cohesion, sharing ideas, facilitation and developing self-confidence.
To live together and manage tasks between volunteers, we have to ensure good communication and cohesion and share ethics and permaculture design
Tasks include:
- Organizational / informational meetings every Monday with Laura
- Meetings of reflection and action on problems that arise (which may be to communicate important things to the tutor)
- Support with the organization of food and cooking at the shared house.
- Organize and perform daily tasks; water, keep shared spaces tidy, waste management, maintenance of facilities, fill in the log book
- Facilitation of the circle some mornings
- Visits projects that collaborate with the association to create networks and attend meetings, shared work days and local events such as talks, courses or parties.
- Strengthen local networks by organizing workshops / events lasting one day: workshops will be organized by the volunteer, who actively participates in design, planning, implementation and final reflection.
- Attend permaculture / environmental convergences at regional and national / international level eg. Permaculture Iberica, Youth in Permaculture, ATTA
- support with the organization of events such as courses, workshops and the festival.
2) Practical work in permaculture design and long-term design of the permaculture demonstration site. This work is always led by a tutor. Volunteers learn to use appropriate tools and technology, and gain practical experience, with opportunities to develop their initiative.
Tasks can include:
- regenerative agriculture
- work in food production
- holistic management of the environment
- Water, energy and waste management
- bioconstruction
- carry out projects and initiatives designed and promoted by the volunteer (with the support of the tutor). (Examples of these projects from previous years include: building a solar shower, creating a new garden, compiling recipes of local ingredients for use in the kitchen)
3) Reflection work, write blog posts, post photos
Tasks include:
- Complete reflections necessary for the Youthpass
- Write articles about the activities for blogs and volunteer / permaculture platforms OR create videos
- Share photos and comments of the activities on Instagram / Twitter etc.
- Post educational content on the blog
- Take photos and videos during activities.
The weekly schedule from Monday to Friday is approximately:
1 hour in activity 1)
4 hours in activity 2)
1 hour in activity 3)
Volunteers will work from 8 am to 2 pm each day. During this time Laura will ensure that they have time to complete practical tasks, and also to do
meetings and time for reflection and content creation. Volunteers have the afternoons free.
During the afternoons there is an option of language training with OLS and the tutor, we have books and permaculture digital resources and there are opportunities to plan personal projects.
The activities that are carried out on weekends will lead to rest days in the following week. They will have two free days per month of volunteering, as the program marks. These free days we offer organizational support to be able to visit different sites.
