Resumo: The project is a living community for mentally handicapped situated in a small village with families and singles, who integrate themselves into the lives and rhythm of the handicapped. It is reverse integration where normal people integrate into the lives of handicapped.
The living community consists of 2 houses with 19 mentally handicapped residents. The residents have different psychological and mental restrictions and some of them are also physically impaired, but all of them are able to walk. The level of function varies from nearly “normal” to few without any verbal language. Most are aged 18-30 years, but few are older.

In the village there are different workshops which are used in the project: Bakery, biodynamic market garden, biodynamic farm, dairy, weave shed, kitchen and laundry where the mentally handicapped work. In the workshops we produce products spent by the residents in the village and furthermore the bakery and dairy produce products to be sold in ecological shops to kindergartens and other institutions in the area.

Perfil: We would search for a volunteer who is tolerant, open, extrovert who can take part in our daily life with a positive attitude. Respecting the mentally handicapped is essential. The volunteer should preferable have a calm personality, flexible and ready to adjustments since changes can occur with short warning. Interest in our workshops and the handicapped residents is vital such as the respect for the qualities of handicapped persons.
The volunteer should be non-smoker. To have a driving license or play an instrument is relevant but not essential
We are open to work with any partner and are interested in volunteers from all countries. Selection will be done balancing volunteers qualifications and our ability to meet their expectations. The project will be announced through every available channel.
Age: 17-30

Tarefas: The main activity for the volunteer will be to take part in the workshops according to interests and specific knowledge and experiences. We will need extra hands mainly in the bakery, dairy and biodynamic greenery but the other works shops will also be an option. The volunteer will work on 2-3 different workshops throughout the week and year according to the needs.The volunteer will not be the responsible for the workshops, but will play an important role in supporting and assisting the handicapped to perform the tasks they have. If the volunteer has a driving license, he/she will be in charge of being a chauffeur to different activities. If of interest, the volunteer can take part in drama activities where the mentally handicapped put up small theater plays based on fairytales, if playing an instrument, we would like them to play this during the morning gatherings (We have a piano, cello and different other instruments- or bring your own)
