Description
Green Summit is an ESC project of Green Association (greenassn.com) with a short-term volunteering team, which will take place in July and August 2026 and can be extended to a long-term mobility in case of interest from both sides. In this project 16 volunteers from program countries will be hosted in RURAL BULGARIA. The main part of the activities will take place at BEGLIKA FESTIVAL (https://beglika.org/en/) and the newly emerging SOCIAL CENTER of Green Association in Architectural Reserve Staro Stefanovo village. Green volunteers can get rich experience in EVENT MANAGEMENT, SUSTAINABLE LIVING, BUILDING WITH NATURAL MATERIALS and COMMUNITY BUILDING. Among the main activities to achieve our objectives are the RECONSTRUCTION and RESTORATION of the social center, organization of FESTIVALS promoting sustainable living, WORKSHOPS and other events that will provide valuable experience to our volunteers.
