Campo di volontariato
Green & Away – Eco Festival Residency
Worcester, REGNO UNITO
Attività principali
Volunteer work: Interns and residents are valued members of the crew throughout the summer. Groups of volunteers stay for different durations, and you will be the backbone of the crew, providing ongoing knowledge of the site and undertaking longer-term projects. Interns and residents will join the volunteers during the setting up and taking down of the site.
Successful applicants for both roles should work well as part of a team as well as independently, enjoy taking on new challenges and responsibilities, and have an interest in sustainability, charity work, ecotourism, and outdoor living. You will gain considerable management experience and learn about the challenges involved in sustainable living and environmental education.
Green & Away has hosted volunteers every summer for around 10 years and the feedback has been excellent. Participants have gained life-changing skills and have described their time as the best summer of their lives. Green & Away is a unique and magical place, with something for everyone.
Both Internships and Residencies provide the chance to learn, grow, and contribute to a vibrant outdoor community and sustainable events venue. Whether you are exploring new skills or developing an existing craft, they have opportunities for you to get involved.
Residencies: The residency programme is designed for individuals who already have a specific skillset and want the time, space, and support to develop and showcase their craft within a unique environmental setting.
Residencies are more independent, practical, and self-directed than internships, with residents taking the lead on creating, making, building or developing something substantial for the site or organisation.

A trustee mentor to support you throughout the season

Scopri Worcester
Location and leisure: Green & Away is set up on the outskirts of a small village near Worcester, the nearest shop and post office is 2 miles away. The site is situated close to a village which has some small activities going on and is roughly 5-6 miles from Worcester by bus. Volunteers can travel quite freely to a big city. More immediately the site is located to a café with walking trails and a river for swimming bordering the camp. Please note: when you first arrive, the field will be mostly empty except for essential facilities, as the site is built collectively during the first weeks. The nearest shop and post office are approximately 2 miles away.
