Beskrivning av verksamheten

ONLY THE APPLICATIONS SENT THROUGH OUR GOOGLE FORM WILL BE CONSIDERED. LINK: https://forms.gle/qUpe55cndXMjWHDd9. Our GreenSkills XIII program will bring together 6 volunteers in Suderbyn Ecovillage which defines itself as a social laboratory, an experiment and a playground. The volunteers live and work as co-residents and have the opportunity to experience all the aspects of the holistic model of sustainable living Suderbyn offers for a year. It is an international community of around 20 people in winter and 30 in summer living tightly together and sharing resources. Sustainable living, eco-consciousness, community building and active citizenship are some of the core themes. There are 2 different positions the applicants can opt for. The work involves developing the physical infrastructure of the ecovillage and permaculture gardening, as well as participating in international projects. English is the main language of communication. Website: http://www.suderbyn.se/greenskills.html

Logi, mat och transporter

The volunteers have simple accommodation, either a small single room or a shared room with one other person. The same condition applies to permanent inhabitants and is part of the voluntary simplicity of life in Suderbyn. The six GSXIII volunteers will start in April 2023. Food is ecological, vegan and is procured in bulk for the whole community. There is no meat and limited (private) dairy consumption. The town is 8km away. You can use bikes from our communal bikepool. There is a carpool on site and a bus stop close by.

Deltagarens profil

The main criterion for GSXIII is the personal motivation of candidates to engage in a sustainable lifestyle and community living. It’s important to demonstrate a basic understanding of actual living conditions in Suderbyn. Those who show curiosity and enthusiasm towards the areas mentioned above are more likely to be selected. The project setting ultimately involves a rural lifestyle and might not be suitable for those who prefer urban activities. Good luck!
