Boodaville Caseres – ESC project
WHEN?
The activities take place for 3.5 months in 2022. Starting the 1st Sept
We are looking for 1 more International volunteer from Europe.
WHO?
This is a placement for participants with a maximum age of 30 as it is funded by the European Solidarity Corps. We are looking for people who are highly motivated to learn and apply Permaculture, who are responsible and have an interest in nature and outdoor activities. Applicants should have good communication skills and be ready to live in a small community. They should be prepared for quiet village life and able to travel between the village and the Boodaville site by bike or walking.
We also invite participants with fewer opportunities.
WHERE?
For 30 hours a week volunteers will be at Boodaville, a developing rural permaculture centre in the Matarranya region of Spain. Visitors learn about effective & sustainable design techniques in a place with challenging climate conditions.
Boodaville started in 2008 with the purchase of 1.5 hectares of olive terraces and pine forests in a stunning, tranquil location. Over the years, many people in an ever-growing international community have become involved and we’ve learned about, and applied, permaculture design during the development of the site.
The long term goal is to create a working example of permaculture principles in action and create an eco-education centre with plenty of space for workshops and courses.
Volunteers will live in rented accommodation in the small village of Caseres,
Caseres is a rural village about 3 km from the demonstration site of Boodaville. It is a small village of about 300 people located next to the Algars River where you can bathe.
