Program Details

Join a one-of-a-kind project to help improve a house which is a part of a new permaculture collective! 🌿 Tasks include painting, basic carpentry, and repair work, with opportunities for those comfortable with tools and machines to assist with sanding, drilling, or minor construction DIY projects.

The property is surrounded by nature and protected parks, offering a peaceful setting for meaningful work. With the train station just 400 meters away, Malmö and Lund are within easy reach, and Copenhagen is only 90 minutes away.

Activities & Shift

Be part of an inspiring restoration project in southern Sweden! Your activities will include:
- Painting and basic carpentry.
- Sanding, drilling, or small-scale construction as a helping hand to the professional carpenter (if you’re comfortable with tools).
- Moving materials or furniture (teamwork makes it manageable!).
- Gardening tasks for nature enthusiasts.

Shifts are flexible, leaving you plenty of time to relax, enjoy the surrounding nature, or explore nearby towns. You can also enjoy free language lessons, and cultural exchanges through guided tours of southern Sweden. The property’s location, just 400 meters from the train station, makes it easy to visit Malmö and Lund, with Copenhagen only 90 minutes away.

Rules

3,5 hours of volunteering per working day, 5 days a week. Accommodation is provided primarily in a private room, but sharing room with 1 more volunteer may take place. Food is not included in the exchange, which is the reason for the lower number of hours of helping. We can all of course use the fully equipped kitchen and the storage space, both cold and dry storage will be divided between everyone staying here. The low number of hours makes it possible, if desired, to work more hours some days and then have 3 or 4 days off per week.
