Stage in marokko: duurzame landbouw en waterbeheer

De High Atlas Foundation is een Marokkaanse NGO (Marrakech, Fes of Oujda) met jaren ervaring in het begeleiden van internationale studenten op bachelor en master niveau. Vrijwillige stages duren meestal tussen de 3 en 6 maanden en specifieke projecten worden opgesteld in samenspraak met jou als student en de eventuele eisen vanuit je opleiding in Nederland. Een behoorlijke mate van zelfredzaamheid lijkt wel essentieel om je stage tot een succes te maken.

De stichting focust op duurzame landbouw, waterbeheer, en vrouwen en jongeren empowerment. De landbouwprojecten gaan veelal over het planten van fruitbomen in lokale gemeenschappen en bij scholen om zowel het klimaat te beschermen als de bevolking een kans op extra inkomsten te bieden.

Bezoek hun website voor meer informatie en neem vooral contact met ze op.

Volunteer in Portugese Permaculture project and help restore the local ecosystem after catastrophic wildfires

At permaculture project Quinta do Vale a lot of work can be done. For years they have been creating their own small scale permaculture area in a Portugese valley. Through education and training they also try to have impact on a greater amount of people. But in 2017 great wildfires destroyed a large part of the valley and also a part of their permaculture property. The upside of the fires could be that locals might open up for a more sustainble land use. Taking good care of the land could have helped reducing the impact of the 2017 fires. As a volunteer you are very welcome to help them reforest the area. Get in contact through their website for updates on the volunteer needs.

They now welcome (quoted from their website):

If you want to just rock up in a campervan or with a tent and stay a couple of nights, you’re welcome.
If you’re just looking for a park-up while you do other things in the area, you’re welcome.
If you want to stay from a week to a month or two, volunteer some work and learn everything you can, you’re welcome.
If you’re particularly interested in doing some natural building repairs and reconstruction, you’re welcome.
If you have DIY skills or a trade and fancy coming to spend a summer helping us and the rest of the community, you’re welcome and we will all love you forever.
If you want to come and download all the accumulated knowledge and experience that’s in my head from nearly a decade living off grid, you’re welcome to do that too.
