Strawbale Building Team at Sieben Linden Ecovillage
GEN-Deutschland - Netzwerk für Gemeinschaften e.V.
Wohnungsgenossenschaft Sieben LInden
Beetzendorf, Germany
Description
Within this two week volunteering you'll be part of a group of volunteers, getting to know a vibrant intentional community and installing strawbales as insulation for our newest family house in Sieben Linden Ecovillage. You'll learn about sustainable building, community life and other ecovillage skills.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Accommodation will be in shared bedrooms (4 persons per room)! Mostly vegan lunch and dinner will be provided by our amazing community kitchen team. Breakfast will be managed by yourself with ingredients from our cellar and storage space - i.e. bread, spreads, milk, peanut butter, marmalade, fruits, oats... All food is organic. Sieben Linden Ecovillage is easily reachable via Wolfsburg or Salzwedel with the local bus. A detailed description will be provided upon selection confirmation with an infopack.
Training during the activity
We'll organise at least one workshop per week which will be influenced by your particular interest and you'll be able to join some community events (in German language). You'll learn a lot about natural and sustainable building.
