Being in sammatz for a month was an unexpected experience, I enjoyed every single task. It's the 1st time I am volunteering in a foreign country. I took the decision by reading reviews over here saying "I will come back again" and it convinced me. No need to tell u that people did really come back to sammatz and more than once ! You have to experience it to understand how beautiful it is to live in a community and to take care of each other. What to expect : being surrounded by nature, by animals, people, practicing languages, learning abt cultures, playing music/games, working 6h30, cooking..

Sammatz was an incredible and nostalgic volunteering experience for me. Not only I met new friends from around the world, but also I learnt a lot of things about gardening, being gentle with nature, sustainability, other cultures and languages, living in the moment, as well as myself. Just go to Sammatz and see for yourself!

My stay at Sammatz was a memorable one, filled with new connections, expansive conversations, music, nature and an invitation to be present with all tasks. It was my first volunteering experience and it really set the bar in terms of the variety of work areas and people. I learnt a lot of new skills and knowledge here and I'm so grateful for the month I spent. I grew a lot in my time there. I found it quite social, so making time for yourself is key. you'll most likely find your place within Sammatz if you move with an open heart and mind, be curious! I hope I'll come back to visit soon 🌸
