Sweden: ESC: Green Skills XVII - Volunteering in a Swedish Ecovillage! March 2027 start

Presentation of the programme

Only applications made in this form will be considered. DO NOT APPLY VIA THE YOUTH PORTAL! Green Skills integrates the participants into an international community and facilitates their taking part in civil society and grassroots initiatives. It seeks to address societal issues such as climate change and social discrimination through youth empowerment and competence building. Our main objective relates to environmental challenges that we face globally, as well as to the need for resilience; socially, politically, and environmentally. Through events like workshops, presentations, or documentary screenings, people at Suderbyn have many chances to become more informed about the complexities of environmental, political, and social sustainability. The participants contribute to all aspects of running the ecovillage and are organized in 4 separate activity domains, namely: Infrastructure, Permaculture Garden, International projects & networks, Office & Administration.
