Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Volunteers stay in shared houses at our ReGenerate Future Campus in Arteara, with 2 to a maximum of 3 people per bedroom, shared bathrooms, communal spaces and outdoor kitchens. We provide vegetarian food. Volunteers cook together, create plant-based recipes and share daily responsibilities. Route 66 provides transport for project activities and local visits. A public bus stop is within walking distance. Volunteers arrange their own transport during free time. Our campus is an alcohol- and drug-free environment, based on respect for nature, each other and community living.

Training during the activity

Volunteers learn by doing through workshops in upcycling, reuse of materials, circular economy, sustainable building, biodiversity restoration and plant-based cooking. Training develops green skills, environmental awareness and stewardship: caring for our planet and its resources. Participants gain experience in teamwork, group organisation, communication, social media, creative problem-solving and intercultural cooperation. Reflection sessions support personal growth, responsibility and initiative. Learning outcomes are recognised through Youthpass.

Participant profile

Do you enjoy creating content for social media, taking photos or making videos? Are you interested in plant-based cooking, or curious to explore a different way of living? Maybe you love working outdoors, building things, gardening or giving old materials a new purpose. We welcome young people aged 18–30 who enjoy sharing ideas, learning practical skills and living with others from different cultures. You don't need to know everything. What matters is that you are willing to participate, take responsibility, respect nature and contribute to our ReGenerate Future Campus.
