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 at Ecovillage in Finland. 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).

The main purpose of the people in the village is to live in a more sustainable way by committing to build with eco-friendly materials and techniques, use only biodegradable products (shampoos, detergents, etc), compost their waste and recycle appropriately, use eco-friendly toilets (such as dry-toilets), try to eat as organic and sustainable as possible, car sharing, etc.

Perfil: Age: 18-30
No specific skills are required to be part of the project but we do appreciate volunteers that are:
- 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, take care of our small food gardens
- Seasonal nature work – picking berries, wild herbs and mushrooms according to the seasons and use different ways of conservation
- 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 community activities.
