IYNF is partner of ´Harmonious Pathways EVS project’, a group EVS project for 10 young people from five different countries. We currently search for two volunteers from the Czech Republic. Read more in the following lines and in case you are interested, please get in touch with Adriana at adriana@iynf.org ASAP, until 15th June, the latest.
Eolas Soileir are planning a two week short term Group Erasmus+ EVS for 10 young people (aged between 18 & 30) from five international partners to create a place of creativity, nature, imagination, play and beauty for everyone!
When: July 5th – July 19th 2014
Where: Clonmines, Co. Wexford, a rural location in the south of Ireland.
Project description:
For the volunteers to help create an outdoor space in our developing learning/permaculture centre. Through guidance, non-formal learning methods, use of creativity the volunteers alongside other members of Eolas Soileir will be part of a 2 week project to transform a small piece of land into a multi-purpose common area.
We see this space including a reflective area, a break-out space for groups to use, a multi sensory area, a place for art installations – that is part of nature and promotes creativity and an appreciation of the outdoors. We want this to be a project about sustainability therefore we will use reclaimed materials where possible.
As our organisation promotes sustainability and permaculture we will be promoting the use of permaculture principals within this project. We are linking up with past and present pupils of the Permaculture course in Kinsale College of further education to advise and assist us in the planning and implementation of this project.
This EVS would be perfect for any young person who wants to learn more about permaculture, horticulture, sustainability, heritage and project management. They will be working exclusively in the outdoors – in nature and be part of the project management team. This will give the young person an opportunity to assess if they would like to study these areas further, it will also enhance their CV and give them very real transferable skills to bring to potential studies and/or jobs. The benefits to the young people will be their increased mobility within EU, enhanced language development, intercultural learning, increased employability, appreciation of the outdoors and its positive impact on mental and physical health.
