Presentation of the program

⋆˚˖° To be eligible, please fill out our Application Form through Google: https://bit.ly/4mQTvPi ⋆˚˖° Feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything that’s happening in the world? We do too! We choose to approach this growing instability not only as a challenge but as a call to rethink how we live, what we depend on and how we relate to each other. We don’t claim to have the answers. What we offer is a three week long opportunity, a space to question what’s not working and test alternatives in real life. If you're craving something tangible, this is it.

About the accommodation

You will be staying in 4-6 person tents within the volunteer village. Cooking is a vital, communal act we will all share. Every day, we'll take turns in the kitchen, to create wholesome vegetarian dishes that reflect our commitment to local quality ingredients and mutual care. Days will als will include shared moments designed to support connection, reflection and personal growth. We will integrate gentle morning routines into our day such as breathwork and exercises inspired by The Artist’s Way, creating space for a functioning community.

About the leisure

The project will take place in the Habitat Hub: a rural living lab where we explore what the future of villages could look like. A living labs are spaces for learning through real-life experience: instead of separating theory and practice, we learn by doing. We build, grow food, organise ourselves as a community and reflect on what works and what doesn’t. The goal is to rethink small-scale ways of living: how we relate to energy, water, food and each other. At the heart of this project is the renovation of an old barn using straw bale construction techniques.

Requirements

The Participant profile: We're on the lookout for vibrant individuals aged between 18 and 30 who are legal residents of the European Union - a total of 15 people. You might feel at home at Habitat Hub ... If you sometimes feel that the way the world works doesn’t fully make sense to you. If you are curious about alternative ways of living, even if you don’t have experience. If you enjoy working with your hands or you’ve been wanting to try. You are open to living closely with others: all the beauty and challenges that comes with it.
Deadline: 01/07/2026 00:00

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).
