If you are a young person interesting in sustainability and wants to join an exciting volunteering project with 15 volunteers from around Europe, then this is an ideal opportunity for you to join the ESC Volunteering project "Greenovation 4.0" in Argolida, Greece for 7 weeks. This volunteering project is hosted by "Hopeland" and funded by the European Solidarity Corps programme of the European Union.
About hopeland
Hopeland educational eco-community is in a quiet place in southern Greece. For 12 years, people who care about the environment have been building it with love, using natural things like wood and stone. The goal is to create a place where everyone can learn from each other and nature. They want to make sure everything they do is good for the Earth and helps people feel calm and hopeful. They have special programs like Erasmus+ and ESC where people can learn about themselves, make friends, and help the environment. They want young people, teachers, and local farmers to join them in making the world a better place, where everyone works together and cares about each other and the Earth.
About the project
The Greenovation Volunteering Teams project has two main parts. Half of it is about building a caring eco-community with the people who volunteer. The other half is focused on four important things to help Hopeland and the community around it: keeping things in good shape, hosting events, reaching out to locals, and making a lasting impact.
By joining this team volunteering, you are joining a vibrant eco community that consists of the permanent residents and long-term volunteers of Hopeland. Aiming to cultivate a nurturing and safe space for all, we base our approach on the values of accountability, sustainability, and synergy.
