Resumo: We are looking for our new team of mushroom lovers, who will work in this circular economy project! This project started years ago, with formation and lots of experimentation, and since 2020, our ESC
volunteers are part of this experience.

The coordinating organization projects aim to raise awareness about the actual context we are living and to propose and create solutions to be part of a positive change in a social, cultural and environmental aspect. In this project especically, we will reuse waste to create new life. We collect coee waste from cafés and restaurants and we mix it with mycellieum to grow oyster mushrooms. And after harvesting, we use that new waste in our earth-worm
farm, which is great to create new and rich soil for plants.
By doing this, we also want to raise the awareness about sustainable practices and how we can reduce waste
by reusing it to grow your own food. We need to be resilient and creative!
New friendships, new learning experiences, many skills to develop, lots of sharings, improvement of french
language and culture, and much more!

Perfil: We are looking for youngsters between the ages of 18 and 30 who want to invest themselves in a new life experience,
with lots of challenges and learnings! Motivation to learn how to grow mushrooms is a must! The activities are a bit of a routine, since the mushroom processes are the same, but it demands lots of observation in the details to make sure that the production will go as planned. There is also space for creativity and new ideas, in terms of improvement of the activities, creating cool content to share the project, creating events, etc. Some other characteristics we are looking for:
- Open minded and interest in knowing other cultures.
- Organized and responsible.
- Takes initiative and proposes their ideas (and puts them in action!).
- Communication skills and teamwork.
- Adaptability and exibility.
- Interest in Erasmus programs and international exchanges.
- Basic knowledge of french (or motivation to learn it!).
- Basic knowledge and/or interest in communication, content creation, social media, writing, design...

Tarefas: Volunteers will collect coee waste from cafes, restaurants and bars around the twon (using bikes), and then prepare the mix with mycellium to put in bags and start the incubation process. Then they will monitor the fruiting process and harvest mushrooms. In between, there is dierent other activitities to make sure that all the conditions are appropriate for the project: humidity, desinfectations, how to avoid contaminations...
Other activities of the project are: going to local markets to sell mushrooms, creating photos and videos to post in social media and the website, propose new ideas to improve the processes, make workshops about sustainability and mushroom growing.

Horário: The work will normally be from Tuesday to Saturday, around 7 hours per day, and all the sundays and mondays are days o. Plus, volunteers have 2 extra days o per month, that they can take all together or separate, always coordinating with the tutor and the manager of activities in advance, and not in the months of more collection and harvesting (summer).
Some holidays are usually taken in december for the festivities, and we the chance to volunteers to
leave for a longer time.

Condições: Volunteers will stay in shared rooms with other person of the same sex, in an appartment in the city center (just some meters from the main square!). At IDC we live as a team, so we shared the common tasks of cleaning, cooking and arranging the place.
Volunteers will receive 210 euros per month to buy food. We don’t buy industrial food and we try to eat as local and seasonal as possible. We make the shopping twice per month (normally, to avoid using the car all the time). And of course, we eat very, very local, eco and fresh mushrooms!
