Zavod Veles, Zavod za trajnostni nacin zivljenja, so. p.
Sentjanz, Slovenia
Description
This ESC activity will take place in the sustainable initiative farm, therefore volunteers will interact with examples of good practices of low environmental footprint in rural life. The schedule will include various activities; mainly practical with explanations from different fields of sustainable practices while working (mostly permacultural farming, natural construction, community living, social permaculture, social entrepreneurship, energy resources, water cycle on the estate).
The working hours will be 7 per day, including cooking and cleaning inside the schedule. We start in the morning, 8 am, and work until 4 pm (1 h of break). After it is free time to rest, connect, do some walks etc.
The aim of the activity is to live together on the farm and experience everyday village life. At the same time to take care of ourselves and others - to make new connections and to learn from each other while volunteering and taking care of the place.
