During the week, we are cooking and eating our main meals communally. * There is a van for transportation upon communication with the coordinator.

The Participant profile: We are offering this opportunity to 18 participants to ensure the intercultural dimension of the project. There are several requirements from the programme itself and a profile that we would like to focus on. - 18-30 years old (not older than 30 on the first day of the project) - Legal residents of one of the Erasmus+ programme countries with no visa needed to enter Greece - Ready to live in a rural environment with basic conditions - Eager to be challenged into aligning together with people from different cultures and open to sharing space, responsibilities, and decision-making with others in a communal setting - Enthusiastic with hands-on activities and practical tasks like gardening, building, cooking, cleaning - Willing to develop their digital literacy skills and learn how to promote social impact through content creation - Eager to show commitment, take initiatives and create opportunities for themselves and society - Priority will be given to those that are facing or faced any kind of troubles in life - We are also looking for a couple of volunteers with media skills such as photography and filmmaking for documenting this whole experience for everyone but also support Hopeland activities, digital marketing and promotions. *Important note* At Hopeland, we want to make sure the experience is a good fit for everyone. Please keep in mind that this is not a healing retreat or therapy space. If you're going through something that feels too much to handle on your own, we encourage you to seek professional help before joining us. We also aren’t a place for managing addictions, whether related to drugs or alcohol, as we don’t have the resources to support those needs, neither it’s our focus. The work here can be physically demanding. Tasks like gardening, eco-building, and other hands-on activities require a certain level of fitness so check if you are ready for it. We also ask for personal responsibility, this means taking care of yourself, being mindful of your time, and doing your part as an active member of the team. This is not a vacation. It’s a chance for personal growth through physical work and shared experiences, so be prepared to engage fully. We want everyone to have a fulfilling and enjoyable experience, please think about these points when deciding if this is the right fit for you.
Deadline: 16/06/2026 23:59

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
