Volunteer in an eco-village in Germany

Detailed programme

Experience life in an eco-village

You'll be taking part in all kinds of tasks and/or jobs. For example, gardening in the beautiful vegetable garden or orchard, chopping/sawing wood, doing odd jobs, cleaning or cooking, or thinking up and building beautiful projects. A community host will always be on hand to guide you through your tasks. The eco-village is always in need of extra hands, and volunteers are a very important pillar of this eco-community. Volunteers can take coffee/tea breaks whenever they like.
