ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Activity description This 6-12 month project is designed for youth who want to experience life in an Ecovillage and farm in rural Sweden. The volunteers’ tasks are to care for the farm animals, but also to build a permaculture garden, outdoor area and greenhouse around the volunteer base. There are many learning opportunities: from how to create your own garden, to understanding more about eco-sustainability, the Ecovillage network, writing European Solidarity Corps applications, etc. Volunteers will be involved daily in Charlottendals Ecovillage and farm where they will live, but also have the opportunity to connect with other permaculture farms and gardens such as Nibble G\u00e5rd in J\u00e4rna. There is also a interesting education we can interact with called the YIP, Youth Initiative Program, https:\/\/yip.se\/ In fact J\u00e4rna has sometimes been called an “alternative capital” To apply, send CV and a creative motivational letter to evs.charlottendal@gmail.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
