Description
⋆˚✿˖° To be eligible, please fill out our Application Form through Google: http://bit.ly/4eNS6XD⋆˚✿˖° Field Notes is a 3-week long volunteering opportunity which grew from a feeling many of us might recognize. Uncertainty about the world we live in and the futures we are expected to fit into. The project invites young people to step away from passive consumption and engage more directly with questions around community, resilience, sustainability and alternative ways of organizing life together. Participants will explore what becomes possible when people actively shape their environment together instead of simply adapting to it.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
We will provide 4-6 person tents within the volunteer village, but please bring your own sleeping bag! The facilities will be simple, we will use outdoor showers and compost toilets. As for your meals, cooking will be a vital, communal act we all share. Every day, we'll take turns in the kitchen, to create wholesome vegetarian dishes that reflect our commitment to local quality ingredients and mutual care. Your travel costs will reimbursed according to the distance between your home and the project location. More information will be provided after selection.
Training during the activity
The project will take place in the Habitat Hub: a rural living lab where we explore what the future of villages could look like. Living labs are spaces for learning through real-life experience: instead of separating theory and practice, we learn by doing. The goal is to rethink small-scale ways of living: how we relate to energy, water, food and each other. Throughout the project, participants will join smaller working groups built around an ever-changing ‘task cloud’ created by our team. The projects emerge from real situations, real limitations and real possibilities of the place.
Participant profile
We're on the lookout for vibrant individuals aged between 18 and 30 who are legal residents of the European Union - a total of 15 people. You might feel at home at Habitat Hub if: you sometimes feel that the way the world works doesn’t fully make sense to you, you are curious about alternative ways of living, even if you don’t have experience, you enjoy working with your hands or you’ve been wanting to try, you are open to living closely with others: all the beauty and challenges that come with it.
