EVS opportunity during the European Conference of the Global Ecovillage Network of Europe:
Volunteering, Learning, Community building
In July 2017 Sweden will host an international ecovillage conference organised by the Global Ecovillage Network of Europe. 10 volunteers from five countries will arrive 6 weeks earlier to help with the preparation of the conference, as well as for learning by doing and gaining a rich experience in international event management and sustainable livelihood.
Would you like to be one of them?
This two month long short-term EVS project was designed for ten enthusiastic young people age 17-30 who are interested in ecovillages and sustainable living, and who want to gain experience in organizing workshops, large events and conferences as well as in communitybuilding, self-development and work in intercultural teams. During the two months you will get to know the work of Global Ecovillage Network of Europe (GEN Europe) and NextGEN (the young wing of GEN) by assisting in the organisation of the European Ecovillage Conference 2017 which will be held in Ängsbacka, Sweden on 16-21 July 2017.
What is EVS?
EVS is the European Voluntary Service, a programme allowing young people to go abroad, learn and contribute to a better world with support from Erasmus+ funding. It provides an opportunity to join meaningful work and experiential learning while your food, accommodation, traveling, pocket money, insurance and mentorship are fully covered. A person can only do one long-term EVS, but this opportunity is a short-term EVS of 59 days allowing you to apply for a long-term EVS in the future.
When ?
The EVS project will take place from 1 June 2017 to 29 July 2017. All participants will take part for the entire project duration.
Where ?

The last three weeks will be hosted in a rented house in a small town Molkom, next to Ängsbacka, where the Conference will take place. The living conditions will be simple with the focus on low ecological footprint.
