Resumo: Live for a month in an educational eco-community in southern Greece. Join 15 volunteers from across Europe
and get the full Hopeland experience, guided and supported by the crew. Roll up your sleeves, unleash your creativity,
and dive into hands-on work to enhance the space, improve sustainability practices, and contribute to the growth of the
project. Experience living and working together in a communal setting, embracing the challenges and opportunities that
come with it. All while picking up new skills, making meaningful connections, and finding joy along the way!

The educational eco-community is located in a rural remote area in the south part of Greece. The venture is built with lots of love and mainly natural materials from volunteers, visitors and staff members who have stayed with us throughout the last 13 years.

Our mission is to provide a space where people explore, create and learn from each other and nature. A space in which our actions and interactions are based on our core values of sustainability, accountability, synergy, and of course.. hope!

The organization is offering various experiential learning experiences through the Erasmus+ and ESC programs, mainly on the topics of personal growth, community and environment.

We are welcoming young people and youth workers to join forces with us and together contribute towards our wider vision of a society with deep community spirit and involvement in personal, social and environmental growth.

Perfil: - 18-30 years old (not older than 31 on the first day of the project)
- Legal residents of one of the Erasmus+ programme countries with no visa needed to enter Greece
- Ready to live in a rural environment with basic conditions
- Eager to be challenged into aligning together with people from different cultures and open to
sharing space, responsibilities, and decision-making with others in a communal setting
- Enthusiastic with hands-on activities and practical tasks like gardening, building, cooking, cleaning
- Eager to show commitment, take initiatives and create opportunities for themselves and society
- Priority will be given to those that are facing or faced any kind of troubles in life
- We are also looking for a couple of volunteers with media skills such as photography and filmmaking for documenting this whole experience for everyone but also support the activities, digital marketing and promotions. Some volunteers will also contribute to create a handbook documenting the project outcomes.

we want to make sure the experience is a good fit for everyone.

The work here can be physically demanding. Tasks like gardening, eco- building, and other hands-on activities require a certain level of fitness so check if you are ready for it. We also ask for personal responsibility, this
means taking care of yourself, being mindful of your time, and doing your part as an active member of the team.

This is not a vacation. It’s a chance for personal growth through physical work and shared experiences, so be prepared to engage fully. We want everyone to have a fulfilling and enjoyable experience, please think about these points when deciding if this is the right fit for you.

Tarefas: - Hands-on activities
hands-on activities are at the heart of the experience, focusing on improving the space and its sustainability. As a volunteer, you’ll take part inmaintaining existing structures, and enhancing overall infrastructure through
gardening, eco-building, landscaping, woodworking, and more. Alongside these, the community shares practical daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, shopping, managing social media, watering the gardens, and caring for
animals.
Tasks shift with the seasons, guided by both immediate needs and the organization’s long-term vision. Throughout your stay, you'll rotate through different activities, getting a feel for everything. If something sparks your interest,
there’s space to dive deeper and develop your skills.

Apart from the set ongoing projects proposed by the organization's crew, if you feel inspired, you can also take the initiative to propose your own project, draft a plan, bring it to the crew and if you get green light, bring it to life.

- Connecting & expanding
The organization is also a space for collaboration and exchange.
We invite our friends from Liveloula, a nearby eco-community, to share their expertise in gardening and permaculture. Beyond our own projects, we seek to connect with the local community and nearby initiatives, whether by supporting local farmers, visiting eco-communities, organizing clean-up efforts, organising blood-donation initiatives, or collaborating with local businesses.

Our goal is to create meaningful exchanges where we contribute to the places we engage with while gaining valuable learning experiences on both an individual and group level. As a volunteer, you’ll be encouraged to play a vital part in these efforts by actively participating in the proposed events and also bringing your own ideas to the table.

- Beyond work
The fun at the organization doesn’t stop when the work day ends.
Beyond the 7 working hours each weekday, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy your stay here at the organization. Cozy evenings by the fire (when it’s still fire season), reading under the oak tree, swimming in
Nafplio, hiking through the natural surroundings, or visiting nearby villages and cultural sites. How you spend your free time is up to you, whether it’s recharging, discovering, or simply relaxing.

During your free time, there’s also the opportunity for skill-sharing, where anyone can offer workshops or activities based on their own interests. It's entirely up to you whether you want to join in.

There’s always something going on at Hopeland, as long as someone is ready to make it happen.

The ground floor serves as a common gathering area and upstairs there are 16 beds for guests. It has 2 indoor toilets and an indoor shower.

washing of clothes can only be done in the traditional way.
