European Sustainability Camp @ The Hollies, Enniskeane

Places are still available on a European Sustainability Camp at The Hollies Centre near Enniskeane.
Irish residents aged 18 to 25 years can apply to The Hollies Centre for Practical Sustainability to spend a week with young people from Spain and Portugal between 13 - 20 June 2012. They will get hands-on experience with organic gardening, building houses and baking ovens with natural materials as well as learning about conflict resolution and other life skills.
We are still looking for a number of participants for this youth exchange which is part funded by the European Commission under their Youth in Action programme. All tutors of The Hollies are involved with this camp by teaching skills that are designed to help dealing with the challenges of our times: economic downturn, climate change and the need for a more environmentally friendly and healthy way of life. The group of around 30 young people will also experience living in community and learning from each other in a multi-cultural setting.
This unique camp will take place between the 13th and the 20th June at The Hollies Centre near Enniskeane, Co.Cork and comes with an opportunity for a return visit to the Eco-Village Lakabe in the Spanish Pyrennees between 27 October - 4 November and a visit to the Portuguese Transition Town project Aldeia das Amoreiras around Easter 2013.

Cost: € 150.
