Regenerative Hospitality & Rural Living
Mundekulla Kurs Retreat Konferens AB
Långasjö, Suède
Description
This project invites young people to learn sustainability by living and working in a regenerative enterprise in rural Sweden. Mundekulla is an ecolodge and retreat centre rooted in EU values of democracy, inclusion, and solidarity, where land care, hospitality, and community life are combined into one system. The aim is to show how environmental, social, and economic sustainability work together in practice and to empower volunteers to learn by doing, take responsibility, and grow while contributing to society. Volunteers mainly work in one of five focus areas: Regenerative Gardening & Biodiversity, Circular Gastronomy & Food Conversion, Regenerative Hospitality & Customer Excellence, Eco-building & Maintenance, and Sustainable Forestry, guided by professionals. Through daily work, volunteers develop sustainability skills, teamwork, and an understanding of responsible entrepreneurship while contributing to SDGs 4, 12, 13, and 15.

Participants are housed either in the on-site volunteer building or in a house in neaby village, accessible via a 5-minute bike ride or 15-minute walk.
