Vacancy for Volunteer in Slovakia
Contact person: Miroslav Kasiak
Organisation: Pospolitost pre harmonicky zivot

Location: Pliešovce, Slovakia

Dear friends,

I represent Slovak NGO which is looking volunteers, who could come to us through European Voluntary Service. The start of the project is on March-April 2013 and the service could last 6-8 months.

Despite our organization is experienced in hosting EVS volunteers, currently we are not in EVS database. We will appear there till 1st October, so the project can be submitted, but we need to search for volunteers through other channels. That is why I write you through youthnetworks.eu

All activities will take place in Slovak ecovillage Zajezka. Zajezka is a valley situated in small hills (altitude 600-900 m) in central Slovakia. Closest city is Zvolen (30 km by road).

Zajezka is an old village almost deserted by original people and revitalized again by people who moved here – more than 100 new-settlers moved in broader neighbourhood since 1990 and created kind of “eco-village” here.

Local NGOs organize workshops and seminaries focused on various topics e.g. traditional crafts and culture, natural building, environmental awareness, self-development, healthy lifestyle. We have established eco-centre "Sekier" where 4-8 young people can try living an alternative lifestyle - some for several days, others for years. Sekier is also main base of EVS volunteers. There are many community initiatives and projects – small alternative school, forest-kindergarten, food-bank, community magazine, summer festival, …

Information about Zajezka can be found on http://www.zajezka.sk/ENindex.htm Especially the part "About Sekier" can be interesting for potential volunteers.


Tasks
Possible activities are: - farm management (it is small farm with few goats, chicken for training of organic agriculture) - natural building (clay, strawbales, wood) - handicrafts + workshops co-organizing - forest kindergarden assistant - monitoring of interesting natural localities in surrounding with local school-kids. These tasks can be combined.
Criteria
We need only volunteers, which are prepared for simple lifestyle in countryside - not „city boys/girls“ ;) They should be strongly motivated to work on our projects. Volunteers should be prepared to share room with other person.
Procedure
We have only few days to prepare the application, so we need quick response from you. We have written to more volunteers, than we can accept, so we will have to make some selection. If you are interested to come, write us, why this specific project is interesting for you. Let us also know, whether you have sending organization already.
