Description of organisation

Joyce 'n' Fun is a dynamic social cooperative nestled on the picturesque island of Skiathos, Greece. Born in 2015, the organization has actively engaged in youth work, focusing on holistic development, sustainability and alternative education steadily evolving into an Eco-Centered Learning Hub, rooted in permaculture principles.
The organization aims to create vibrant, inclusive communities, fostering holistic education, environmental sustainability, and intergenerational collaboration. Key objectives include prioritizing experiential learning, nurturing curiosity through child-led education, teaching ecological practices, and empowering youth to be active, engaged citizens. Through Global Community Living, Youth Exchanges, Forest School Education, and Nature-Based Training we actively build supportive communities, promote international understanding, and celebrate diversity with the aim to create an enriching space for people to connect, learn, and contribute to a more sustainable world.

International Youth Travelers seeking immersive cultural exchange, community living, and personal growth.
Local Youth engaging in cross-cultural connections.
Children participating in outdoor learning experiences.
Lifelong Learners focused on sustainability and alternative education.
