Health Common Good Volunteering Team: Children

Activity description

FOR YOUR APPLICATION TO BE CONSIDERED IT IS REQUIRED TO FILL THIS FORM (YOU NEED TO COPY&PASTE THE LINK TO YOUR BROWSER): https://bit.ly/HCG_Infopack | https://bit.ly/HCG_apply | Live for 1 month in Hopeland, a 7-acre educational eco-community in southern Greece focusing on sustainability and co-create your dream community with 23 more volunteers from around Europe. Put your hands, mind and creativity into use in order to assist with the enhancement of the place and to connect with the local community of Hopeland. HCG strives for the inclusion of two of the most affected from COVID-19 social groups, creating two volunteering teams to engage and create opportunities for both: the Elderly and the Children. Each team will aim at the inclusion and civic engagement of their respective focus group through hands-on work, artistic and other recreational activities (manual work, establishing relations and creating activities for children).

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Accommodation is happening in a big camping area that we call the Village, equipped with 5 big teepee tents. The Village is the Volunteers Area. The guesthouse will also be available exempt from the times that another group is hosted in Hopeland. The venture runs on solar panels, therefore, electricity is limited and on rainy days with strong consumption of electricity, we can run out of electric power. There is no possibility of using hair dryers and washing of clothes can only be done the traditional way. There is a separate kitchen building and we opt for vegetarian food.

Participant profile

We are looking for people enthusiastic with hands-on activities, eager to take initiatives and create opportunities for themselves and society. You should also be ready to live in a rural environment with basic conditions and ready to be challenged into aligning together with people from different cultures into making together a sustainable community. We lastly suggest you have a clear plan and vision regarding their participation in the project and beyond. Extreme priority will be given to people facing or having faced any kind of difficulties in life.
