Eco project in the hostel
The experience
We are starting our eco project to make the hostel more sustainable. We plan to organize recycling for all materials, separate the trash, create a compost system for organic waste, add more plants, and build small decorations using recycled materials. Our main idea is to show everyone who comes here that it is possible to live sustainably, in harmony with nature, and with less consumption.

Program Details
Our hostel is starting a long-term eco-sustainability project. The goal is to transform our space into a living example of responsible, sustainable living in harmony with nature. We are looking for volunteers who have experience in eco-projects or simply the passion to learn and help. Volunteers with organizational experience can contribute to planning and leading the project, while others can support with hands-on work in recycling, composting, gardening, and creating eco-friendly decorations. Together, we will work toward reducing consumption, managing resources more responsibly, and inspiring guests to live more sustainably.
