Modern Odyssey is a 3-year long volunteering project funded by the EACEA. It is a complex programme that uses green practices and community as a method to gain understanding about vulnerable groups and societal challenges.
Each year has a different focus/theme/direction:
– migrant and refugees (year 1)
– addiction (year 2)
– mental and physical health (year 3)
These focuses serve as an intention, a sort of a lens, that will support reflection and choice of certain communities. We also use traveling as part of our method – as a main way of learning about the world, and about oneself too.
Participants must be:
• 18 – 30
• legal residents of Erasmus+ program countries
• can enter Greece without a visa
• willing to embrace rural living for a duration of 7 weeks
• adapting to basic conditions while fostering a diverse and harmonious community
• enthusiastic for hands-on tasks such as farming, building, cooking and cleaning
Additionally, individuals with media skills like photography, filmmaking, video editing, podcast creation, and content creation are highly encouraged to apply.
Priority will be given to those who have overcome challenges, including immigrants and refugees.
