Description
WE ARE LOOKING FOR "GREEN HEROES" for our eco-camp in frame of ESC group volunteering: The main theme of the project is ecology. The main objectives are: increasing ecological awareness among project participants and awareness of own responsibility for the environment and surrounding. To the general theme of "ecology" we also want to include themes such as: healthy lifestyle and outdoor sports, nature education, intercultural education, sustainable development, "zero / less waste" and promoting the permaculture idea. Volunteers will on themselves try to life in the spirit of ‘zero/less waste’ (they will build their own eco-camp, they will learn which plants are eatable, how to build own bed, make own cheese, collecting herbs, etc). Also volunteers will make some cultural animation for kids. They will also create a new place for the workshops, which will consist of the renovation of the roof.
