“Farmlife Experience Volunteer Camp” International camp at Cigle Fé-Szek Social and Community Farm in Cegléd, Hungary

Описание

Cigle Fé-Szek Social Cooperative is developing a social farm on the outskirts of Cegléd, focusing on sustainable living, permaculture, eco-architecture and local tourism, where young people gain hands-on knowledge through practice-based trainings. During the summer volunteer camp, we work together on preparing the community vegetable garden and building and decorating wooden garden structures and tools, alongside other farm tasks such as creating beds and paths, landscaping, caring for animals (chickens, rabbits, geese), planting, and water-retention solutions. Besides work, we offer community programs, and in 2026—when Cegléd is Youth Capital—you can join cultural events, with Budapest also within easy reach. We welcome volunteers interested in sustainability or spending time in a rural, friendly environment, mainly doing hands-on work; general physical fitness and basic English are required. Start: 26.June, mornig End: 16, July, afternoon www.ciglefeszek.hu

Community building is priority and supported and camp rules are discussed together, and Youthpass is presented. The camp ends with a reflection workshop and certificate ceremony.
