Resumo: Its main goals are to encourage sustainable and eco-friendly practices, create a diverse and multicultural environment, support youngsters with fewer opportunities, promote tolerance and solidarity.
We have been hosting volunteers from different European countries since 2013 and we can say that throughout the years all these youngsters have been fundamental for the development of the community and surrounding area as we know it today.
The volunteers bring their own talents, cultures, points of view, questions and ideas which always enriches everyone’s lives by sharing and learning from each other.

The project takes place in an eco-village. This is where the project mostly happens.At the moment there are 10 families living in this village.
Each family has their own house and there are also communal buildings and spaces (sauna, community house, barns, grilling area, gardens, yard, etc).

- Open-minded, responsible, tolerant and respectful to others
- Willing to learn new things
- Motivated for the project
- Committed to stay for the whole duration of the project
- Able to adapt and to live together with other people
- Someone who can take initiative and work independently as well as in group

Tarefas: - Community lunch – Planning, shopping and cooking healthy, balanced and sustainable lunches for the community. This also includes tasks like cleaning, organizing, recycling, calculating budgets, etc
- Caretaker – Take care of dry-toilets, compost maintenance, heating the sauna, etc
- Gardening – Planning/designing, planting seeds, preparing the soil, takecare of our small food gardens
- Seasonal nature work – picking berries, wild herbs and mushrooms according to the seasons and use different ways of conservation
- Building – at the moment we are renovating an old barn that will become a community center.
- Individual Projects – each volunteer will have the opportunity to research/develop/implement project(s) of their own interest.
- Collaborating with the local schools and youth centers by doing activities with the youngsters
- Collaborating with local organizations and associations (Red Cross, etc)
- Assisting on the implementation of artistic and cultural activities/events (summer cafeteria, workshops, concerts, etc)
- Upload content on our social media to promote the project, ESC and Erasmus+ programmes

Horário: All these tasks are rotative and shared between the six volunteers. The working times are from Tuesday to Saturday (9:00 to 16:00). Sundays and Mondays are free days.

Condições: The volunteers have their own building where they sleep. This is a small wooden house with two floors (3 beds per floor) and a small kitchen space. In the bedrooms we use some furniture to divide the space.
There is a dry-toilet located just outside the house.

There is no conventional shower - volunteers will wash themselves in the sauna/washing room where the water is heated every day.
In the same building there is a laundry room with a washing machine.

The volunteers can use the kitchen of the community house for preparing their meals. The community house is also a place where they can hang out and spend time. Occasionally the house is booked for other uses.

Things to consider
We want volunteers to have a realistic idea of the place and the project before they make their decision to join in this adventure. These are some factors we’d like you to be aware of:

The Ecovillage is located in a small town. There are bus connections to the towns nearby and the city. In the city there are basic supermarkets, pharmacy, schools, youth center, sports field, gym and library. Still it’s quite a small place.
Considering this, volunteers should prepare to be independent and take initiative in finding ways to spend their free time and arrange activities during the project. The surroundings offer great possibilities for outdoor activities e.g. canoeing in the summer, skiing in the winter, walking, biking, running etc.
However, we encourage volunteers to join the project with a good sense of hobbies and interests they would like to pursue during their stay.
