Programmdetails

The volunteer program offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in the daily routine of a regenerative agriculture project for a few weeks. You will have the chance to interact with other volunteers, European agricultural students participating in the Erasmus+ program, and myself, the farmer.

We expect volunteers to have an interest in regenerative agriculture and a willingness to work outdoors with the soil and plants. You need to adapt to the variety of tasks we perform throughout the day and the week, as there is no set routine and task repetition is rare here.

You can expect daily guidance from me on volunteer work, and we will share experiences related to all kinds of agriculture and plants. Additionally, we will discuss what to do on weekends, and we will likely have enriching conversations about political economy, culture, and global geopolitics during lunch.

Regeln

To ensure a good relationship with other volunteers, Erasmus students, and myself, we expect the volunteers to:

Help keep common areas clean and organized by doing their part and taking care of their own impact.

Participate in the kitchen rotation during lunch on volunteer days. Each day, one person cooks for everyone. This will expose you to different cuisines and allow you to share your culture and flavors with others.

Use available food resources rationally and without waste – both the food we harvest and the food we purchase and provide for volunteers.

Make an effort to maximize interactions by speaking in English as much as possible and preferring to engage with colleagues during volunteer hours rather than using headphones.

Respect nighttime silence, as there are neighboring families with children and elderly individuals.

It is essential to present travel/health insurance.
