Regelingen voor accommodatie, eten, en vervoer
We are offering two types of accommodation. The first is from March to May and from September to November in Maribor (the second bigest city in Slovenia) and is a vibrant university city as well. From May to September we will create a community living space within a 80% self sufficient farm project within the farm project near the village Jarenina (the vilage of the project). We have public (bus, train) and personal (bike, car) transportation options.
Wat leer je?
Empower volunteers with the knowledge and skills which promote life skills on the personal level (in vegetable, fruit, field crop production, processing and marketing). Active participation in initiatives like CSA (comunity supported agriculture), crowd funding (the first in Slovenia in the field of agriculture) and direct marketing work from the idea to the execution. More than 11 on-farm events and lectures (organic farming, sustainable building, water conservation, etc.) for more than 380 participants yearly.
Wie zoeken we?
We are looking for people (age 18 to 30) from the EU program countries who want to spend 8,5 months in a rural area of one of the most beautiful country sides in EU, are seeking for knowledge in theory and practical aspects of organic and biodynamic farming and alternative ways of farmer-customer connection for a more locally sustainable development.
