🇸🇪 ESC Volunteering in Sweden 🌿 ReGreen VI: Permaculture, Community Living and Sustainable Futures at Suderbyn Ecovillage 🏕️

The same ecovillage. The same radical commitment to permaculture and voluntary simplicity. A new group of 10 young people ready to spend 21 days building, growing, reflecting, and living together. ReGreen VI is the latest edition of Suderbyn’s ESC team volunteering programme — an educational, practical, and social adventure in the Suderbyn Permaculture Ecovillage on the island of Gotland, Sweden.

🌱 About Suderbyn

Suderbyn is home to an international community of people who apply permaculture principles and voluntary simplicity in their everyday lives. The ecovillage is a living experiment in sustainable community — and for 21 days, ReGreen volunteers become part of it. Working days combine theory and practice, giving participants skills and competences they can take with them long after the programme ends.

🎯 Three Project Themes

🔨 Infrastructure and Sustainable Living Spaces

Creating and maintaining sustainable living spaces through activities organised by Suderbyn’s infrastructure and building domain

🌾 Applied Permaculture Design

Learning and applying permaculture design principles through activities in Suderbyn’s garden domain — hands-on work with the land, food systems, and ecological design
