Volunteering opportunity : Check out the fully funded ReGreen – Ecovillage volunteering project in Visby, Sweden

Twelve volunteers are needed for a three-week project at the Swedish Permaculture Ecovillage of Suderbyn. The project's objective is to develop sustainable living environments through events coordinated by Suderbyn's building and infrastructure sector. The European Union's European Solidarity Corps programme is providing funding for this project, which is being managed by the "RELEARN Suderbyn" organisation.

Twelve young individuals participate in the 21-day ReGreen volunteer programme at Suderbyn Permaculture Eco-village. The program's objective is to give volunteers useful information and skills for the future. Three elements are included in the project: the building of a greenhouse tailored to the community's infrastructure, the organic community garden using permaculture design principles, and individual and group development through the work of the local NGO RELEARN. Enhancing vegetable production, strengthening ties to the land, and learning more about the ecology are the objectives.

The application deadline is May 19, 2024, midnight CET, with arrival on July 3, 2024, and departure on July 24, 2024. Host organization may close applications early.
