Projects & volunteering

Local projects that open their doors to people who want to learn by working: forest and water restoration, natural building, regenerative farming and repairing the social fabric.

How volunteering worked

  • Published duration: from 3 days to 4 weeks.
  • About 5 hours a day: one third learning, two thirds hands-on application.
  • Lunch and materials were included; transport was not.
  • Conditions are agreed directly with each host.

These conditions come from the previous site. Write to us to confirm current conditions with each project.
