Sustainability rules 2027

We are looking for 6 volunteers!

The project is run by Kurki Ecovillage Association.
Its main goals are to encourage sustainable and eco-friendly practices, create a diverse and multicultural environment, support youngsters with fewer opportunities, promote tolerance and solidarity.

We have been hosting volunteers from different European countries since 2013. The volunteers bring their own talents, cultures, points of view, questions and ideas which always enriches everyone’s lives by sharing and learning from each other.

The project takes place at Kurki Ecovillage, in Vesilahti. There are 10 families living in this ecovillage. Each family has their own house and there are also communal buildings and spaces (sauna, community house, sustainability center, grilling area, gardens, yard, etc).

The volunteer's main work tasks include:
- Taking care of our demonstration gardens: biodiversity garden, forest garden...
- Assisting with building tasks
- Helping to run sustainability center
- Helping organizing open days and cultural events
- Collaborating with local school, youth center and other organizations
- Seasonal work (picking berries, mushrooms, wild herbs...)
- Planning and cooking community lunches
- Caretaker tasks such as heating the sauna, dry-toilet and compost maintenance, etc

Our project is a great chance to get to know a new country and its culture, be in contact with nature, make meaningful connections, implement your own ideas and projects, take time to reflect on the world and yourself, get out of your comfort zone and experience new adventures! :)
