Participant profile
We are searching for English speaking young volunteers of age 18-30 interested in being part of a community in the beautiful nature of the archipelago, open for manual work and “get their hands dirty” ready to go out of comfort zone, experiment, and explore. It is important that the volunteers are interested in environmental issues and sustainable living and enjoy simple living conditions. No previous experience is required, being active and open to learn is useful. We encourage application from young people with less opportunities due to economic, social ,geographical or other barriers.
