Organic Agriculture - Inspiring youth for a greener future
Start date: Mar 1, 2013,
Our EVS Project ‘Organic Agriculture – Inspiring youth for a greener future’ is addressed to young people willing to explore new learning and growing opportunities through an experience within an international organization which promotes organic food and farming in Europe. Starting from IFOAM EU core issues (sustainable food and farming, climate change, resource efficiency, protection of biodiversity), volunteers will be invited to further develop their major interests and concerns through a set of training courses, seminars, conferences and study visits to European Institutions. A stay of 1-2 weeks in an organic farm is scheduled for the spring/summer 2013, where volunteers can learn the practical side of organic agriculture. Volunteers will work together in the creation and development of a blog addressed to youth people on issues related to sustainable farming. They will also be involved in fostering the cooperation with other networks of youth people interested in sustainable agriculture and environment. Volunteers will be also involved in the preparation, implementation and follow-up of several events like the major events in Belgium and outside. The combination of these activities will enable the volunteers to gain a broader overview of the agricultural movement, enhancing at the same time their language and practical skills and their personal awareness of European Institutions’ role. Volunteers will be part of a young, multicultural team, and supported by experienced office staff. Volunteers will receive both individual and team task, with a constant supervision, assistance and final evaluation. As a group of five volunteers, they will learn how to work together synchronizing their synergies but also work on individual bases.
