Long term volunteer for resilient living in rural cooperative

Descrizione dell'attività

We are looking for 3 volunteers to support our 3 main activities: hosting of youth exchanges/retreats/groups, care of animals and plants and help in the moving and creation of a new eco-land. The volunteer will take care daily of their food, water and well being, and, together with other volunteers, will also maintain their spaces. Of course there are also the community lifestyle tasks and the sustainable and green practices of each day. With this project, we aim to promote commitment, ledearship, autonomy and resilience in order to make our daily life more ethical. The current crises (health, environmental and social) require us to think about how within our daily lives we must promote respect for the environment and living together. The team of volunteers will experience a quality intercultural learning and an openness to the world, having the chance to free themselves from judgements.

Alloggio, vitto e trasporto

IDC is located in a small town, 20km from Carcassonne where the nearest train station and airport are (the volunteers will be picked from there and will be taken to the place). This region is rural, living mainly from wine farming and tourism. The place is surrounded by nature. Accomodation: volunteers will stay in mobile homes, in shared-rooms, usually with another volunteer of the same sex. Food will be bought twice per month, and volunteers will take turns to cook healthy and low-impact food! following the food guidelines.
