Opis
Based in Cloughjordan Ecovillage, this project promotes personal and community resilience through community engagement and sustainable living and learning for adults and young adults. Volunteers work with Cultivate and other local groups to design and deliver participatory, creative events to empower citizens to build local food systems, digitalisation, and citizen-led projects. You will develop skills in event management, hosting & facilitation, as well as integrating with our community, making connections and understanding the social fabric of an Ecovillage. You will be mentored in designing solidarity events/projects and supported with our networks, while growing as a change-maker to benefit other communities. Projects include: Agroecology/Food sovereignty events, Permaculture Design courses, facilitation & training skills, music and arts festival, digital fabrication and more. The role is primarily office based with the opportunity to spend a day(or half day) working the land.
Ubytovanie, strava a doprava
Accommodation is in private rooms, either with local residents or in shared housing with other ESC volunteers. Membership of our Community Farm allows you to take as many organic, local vegetables as you need. Sourdough bread is delivered to you each week, and you will also have credit for monthly bulk wholefoods orders. Everything in the village is within a 5 min walk, including a pharmacist, bookshop, cafe, and small supermarket. Sporadic train and bus services connect Cloughjordan to major cities and nearby towns, and local residents are also willing to provide lifts.

Profil účastníka
This educational placement would suit a self-motivated individual who enjoys working as part of a small team and who also enjoys social settings. It will involve helping to design and coordinate sustainable living themed events, and assisting in planning developing and running trainings in our Centre, in the Ecovillage and at Ireland’s largest music festival. There is plenty of opportunity for self-directed work whilst always being supported by a member of our team. The setting is quite rural, based in a small Irish community of aprox 1000, so would benefit someone who likes peace and quiet and the countryside, although there are plenty of regular community music and dance events all year round! Please begin applications with "Dear Cultivate" so we know you have read this.
