Ecovillage Volunteer - Green Skills XV
RELEARN SUDERBYN
VISBY, Suède
Description
APPLY ONLY THROUGH OUR GOOGLE FORM: https://forms.gle/yTW7NSKEG5p21tXD8. No application made on youth.europa.eu will be taken into account. Our Green Skills XV program will bring together 9 volunteers (6 or 11 months) in Suderbyn Ecovillage which defines itself as a social laboratory, an experiment and a playground. The volunteers live and work as co-residents and have the opportunity to experience all the aspects of the holistic model of sustainable living Suderbyn offers for a year. It is an international community of around 20 people living tightly together and sharing resources. Sustainable living, eco-consciousness, community building and active citizenship are some of the core themes. There are 2 different positions the applicants can opt for. The work involves developing the physical infrastructure of the ecovillage and permaculture gardening. English is the main language of communication.Website: https://www.suderbyn.se/greenskills Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suderbyn
Modalités d'hébergement, de restauration et de transport
You are expected to come by land. The volunteers have simple accommodation, either a small single room or a shared room with one other person. The same condition applies to permanent inhabitants and is part of the voluntary simplicity of life in Suderbyn. The six GSXV volunteers will start in March 2025 (no other date allowed). Food is ecological, vegan and is procured in bulk for the whole community. There is no meat and limited (private) dairy consumption. The main town Visby is 8km away. You can use bikes from our communal bikepool. There is a carpool on site and a bus stop close by.

Profil du participant
The main criterion for GSXV is the personal motivation of candidates to engage in a sustainable lifestyle and community living. It’s important to demonstrate a basic understanding of actual living conditions in Suderbyn. Those who show curiosity and enthusiasm towards the areas mentioned above are more likely to be selected. The project setting ultimately involves a rural lifestyle and might not be suitable for those who prefer urban activities. We are now recruiting people from European countries only. Good luck! Apply only through our form!
