Das ZEGG als Sendeorganisation für den European Solidary Corps hat erneut die Möglichkeit junge Menschen (18-30 Jahre) zu einem Projekt nach Spanien zu entsenden. Bitte lest die Projektbeschreibung weiter unten. Ebenso haben wir die Möglichkeit ab März 2020 Menschen nach Schweden in die Gemeinschaft Ängsbacka zu entsenden :-) Bei Interesse meldet euch bei Thomas Heuser, .
Projektbeschreibung:
The Activities 1 and 2 are mainly characterised by the different locations in which the volunteers will be hosted. The two ecovillages serve as different example of how to design a sustainable communal setting, but they are inherently different. This makes it so interesting to send volunteers to both locations, so that within the same program, they are able to learn in different settings. Activity 1. Ecovillages activities in Arterra will be mainly characterised by volunteers staying in an actual living community. The volunteers in Activity 2. Ecovillage activities in Sunseed Desert Technology will be staying in a learning center. Although the tasks of the volunteers will be similar, the location, and therefore the experience will be different. Although the tasks of the volunteers will be similar, the location, and therefore the experience will be different. We aim to give the volunteers an as much broad experience of the life in an ecovillage, including them in a wide range of tasks.
