Wellcoming and sending organisation: both with experience in European Youth programs. Biovives has 4 years experience organizing seminars and training activities related to environmentally friendly agriculture, food production, health and the respect to nature. We work with functionality, reciprocity and mutual collaboration in mind. We also use practical and dinamic Non Formal Education methodology. There's a theoretical part in the 6 month Organic orchard Training Course.For our first application we ask for just one volunteer. We would like him to offer maturity, honesty, sincerity, a high environmental and social engagement, motivation and entrepreneurship. We would also love that he gives importance to do tasks in a ordered and organized way and that he shows interest to touch the land. Candidates should also like team work and be respectful to others and to the environment.The volunteer is going to be part of a social environment different from his home town. He or she's going to be introduced into a multi religious and multinational European context.Further more, the volunteer is going to take part of an environmental citizenship different from his home town (Environmental and Agriculture patrimony responsibility , respect and care).He will learn how to build and provide models that make possible alternative systems appropriate to sustainable development values. Not just in his Voluntary service field but certainly in many other possible events (Intermediate, or Final Evaluation, fairs), even in post service events in an international context.Local population will benefit of the volunteers’ new references and perspectives in rural and environmental field.France (volunteer's sending organisation country) has always been an eminently rural country. This country culture knows how to enhance its local production with durability. We give importance to Learning transference and multiplicity that the volunteer is going to provide. We promote that the volunteer finishes his service with the monitoring of a proposed activity continuing some of the tasks he undertook in our local area.
