Resumo: (ESC TEAM VOLUNTEERING)
The eco-project is a permaculture farm and an intentional community that is specialized in natural building, regenerative farming and alternative technologies.
The eco-project 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.

Workshops for young people run here frequently and every year more and more long term volunteers are following their intuitive learning path through the practical exploration and implementation of techniques and practices like cob ecobuilding, permaculture design, natural farming, agroforestry, healthy nutrition, zero waste lifestyle, renewable energy solutions, non violent communication and group decision making techniques like sociocracy.

Moreover, our farm acts as a hub that connects young people with other projects in Greece and abroad, to support them in following their intuitive learning path and deepen their knowledge in their topic of interest and to strengthen the community of eco-projects throughout Greece and all Europe.

Perfil: Age: 18-30

Condições: This Team Volunteering activity will take place in the farm, in central Greece.
During your stay you will be sleeping in tents inside the organization’s almond grove. It is necessary that you bring your own outdoors sleeping material. Tents will be provided by the project. Have in mind that there are also mosquitos so make sure you bring a natural mosquito repellent.
Please bring what you need to be comfortably sleeping outdoors.
Compost toilets and outdoor showers with hot water 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. 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 paneled system, so the 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 24 days in such a simple and basic way of life.
