About Hopeland:

Hopeland educational eco-community is located in a rural remote area in the south part of Greece. The venture is built with lots of love and (mainly) with natural materials from volunteers, visitors and guests who have visited and stayed with us throughout the last 13 years.

Our mission is to to provide a space where people explore, create and learn from each other and nature. A space in which our actions and interactions are based on our core values of sustainability, accountability, and synergy.

Hopeland is offering various experiential learning experiences through the Erasmus+ and ESC programs, mainly on the topics of personal growth, community and environment.

We are welcoming young people, educators and local farmers to join forces with us and together contribute towards our wider vision of a society with deep community spirit and involvement in personal, social and environmental growth.

Be a Hopelander

Live for 8 months in Hopeland, co-creating with a small group of people, Hopeland’s crew, and create your own self-directed volunteering experience, based on care and common agreements.

Use your hands, mind, creativity and any other skills you might have into maintenance of the place, hosting groups, trainings and residencies, and outreaching the local community of Hopeland.

For a big part of your stay you will be invited to readjust your perception onto a bigger group of people, when you become part of welcoming and supporting volunteering groups, teams and activities. During these periods you’ll have the opportunity to jump into the action and transfer your newly developed attitudes and skills to the newest members.

Maintain and Upgrade

The focus of this domain lies on the improvement of the place. It can be eco-building, gardening, digging, making wooden constructions, maintaining the existing structures and in general improving the infrastructure, the facilities and the sustainability factors of the place. Besides those, on a community level we will be sharing practical living tasks like cooking, cleaning, shopping, managing the social media, watering the gardens, feeding animals etc.

The tasks vary with the season, and are chosen according to the current needs and the long-term plan of Hopeland.

Host groups and activities:

Between April and November, we will have several Erasmus+ groups and volunteering teams being at Hopeland for learning activities. The focus of this domain will be supporting the hosting of these groups according to your skills.

It can be preparing the place, supporting in the kitchen, delivering workshops or activities, supporting in guiding them in task-related activities 

Outreach in the local community

The purpose of this domain is to reach out and connect with the local community and the local initiatives of the surrounding area.

We aim to build strong partnerships and plan common activities in general and during this project. We will plan these activities based on the current needs, it could be cleaning of the area, supporting local farmers, visiting local businesses or other eco-communities etc.

We aim to create win-win situations where we contribute to the place we go and on the same time having new learnings on an individual and group level.

Leave your mark

By joining this project you are already considered a “Hopelander”, and a member of the Hopeland eco- community. The place also belongs to you. To support you with that, we encourage you to leave your mark in Hopeland.

During your stay you will have the chance to work on a specific project in a smaller group or alone. Imagine choosing something aligned with Hopeland’s priorities while focusing on a particular element like building, gardening, art, or designing. This is your chance to explore in a deeper level a theme that truly captivates and ignites your inner motivation!

Hopeland’s crew will be there to support you and offer their guidance in imagining and implementing your idea.
