Resumo: Our co-workers may be working in the natural environment in the farm, the garden or the forest, all of which are ecologically managed. Co-workers who are not actively working in the natural environment will still be required to consider environmental issues whether they arise in the houses where we prepare organic food and use environmentally friendly cleaning products or in the other workshops such as the herb group where we prepare herbs for cooking and tea from our organic herb garden. Everyone in Solborg is also encouraged to come up with new ideas of their own on how the community could be more environmentally friendly and to put these ideas into action.

We have a strong cultural life in our village, with village meetings, drama, concerts, eurhythmy, lectures, music and dance.
On the same premises there is also located a Steiner (Waldorf) school and a kindergarden which are administrated independently.
Our co-workers come from all over the world, and typically stay in Solborg for a year, although some stay for both longer and shorter periods as well. We prefer that co-workers will stay for 12 months to provide some continuity and stability in the community and to see life in the village through the seasons.

We encourage everyone who is considering to become a co-worker in Solborg to come for a visit. We have guest rooms and are happy to host potential co-workers for a few days.

The work of our co-workers is twofold:
1. in workshops supporting the disabled and helping to run the workshop
2. in living and working in one of the houses, taking part in wider community life, including cultural and social activities.

Tarefas: The volunteer will be assigned a morning and an afternoon workshop, for example on the farm, the vegetable garden, the herb garden, the forest group, the weavery, bakery or preparing a meal in a house. The volunteer will be a part of all the tasks in the workshop.

Typical tasks for the workshops:

Farm: milking the cows, feeding all animals, driving tractor and other.

Weavery: learning to weave, sew, filt and assisting others in these tasks.

Bakery: baking bread and buns for 50 people.

Vegetable garden: planting, weeding, harvesting.

Forrest: making fire-wood for the whole village.

Herb garden: planting, harvesting, drying and packing herbs.

Cooking: Learning to prepare a meal for as many as 12-15 people, using ecological ingredients, mostly grown on our own farm.

All these tasks will be together will people with special needs and the volunteer will receive training. Our workshops change from summer to winter rhythm. Usually the volunteers will therefore change workshops at least once during their stay.

The co-worker will also have responsibilities in the house every second weekend which entails helping the disabled people with everyday activities and providing pastoral care. The work tasks in the weekends are to help with the house cleaning, help with meals, sometimes social/cultural program. The volunteer shares these tasks with the other co-workers in the house, so the co-worker is not ‘at work’ all weekend.

The co-worker is also expected to join in our cultural and social arrangements, which vary from week to week. In consequences, the co-worker will be free every other weekend. Please note that the specific times are always going to vary from house to house and week to week.

Horário: The volunteer has breakfast and all other meals in a family house with the extended family.

At 8.45 the whole village meets for a short morning gathering to start the day together. Afterwards everyone continues to their morning workshops. The morning workshop lasts from 9 to 12.

At 12.30 we eat a warm meal in our extended families and have lunch break until 14.

From 14.00 to 17.00 everyone goes to their afternoon workshops.

At 17.30 we eat supper in our family houses. In the evening there sometimes is something happening, social events, cultural program, meetings, sometimes also spontaneously organized.

Condições: Every co-worker belongs to a house-community, and extended family, where 3-5 people with special needs, house-parents (sometimes with children) and 2-3 volunteers (usually young people from all over the world) live together.

The co-worker is provided with food in the house he/she will belong to. The extended family shares all meals and the co-worker will be expected to participate in the tasks in the house and provide some pastoral care for the disabled of his/her house.

The monthly pocket money (at January 2012) is 2000 NOK (250€). The co-worker is entitled to have refunded 400 NOK (50€) monthly for local transport, and 800 NOK (100€) travel allowance for travelling within Norway every six months.

If the co-worker has a driving license they will be able to drive the community cars after a period in the village and upon meeting insurance requirements.

The co-worker is expected to work 5 days a week in the workshops but has one free afternoon or morning every week, which is arranged with the workshop.
