Team Volunteering: Act Green (June 2021, Kryoneri)

     In June 2021, young volunteers gathered in Kryoneri Korinthias, Greece, for the Act Green team volunteering project, coordinated by FILOXENIA, Intercultural-Environmental Organization and supported by the European Solidarity Corps (ESC). Here's what they said about their voluntary experience:    

     Here's a short impression from Manon, German participant

     "The weather is one of the many things that are different between Greece and northern Europe. For people from Germany, Luxembourg or Slovakia, Greece can be really hot during the summer. Just in the forest you can find some fresh air during the summer days.

     That’s fortunate, because the group of young European volunteers we had in Kryoneri in June 2021 was spending most of the time in mountains. We were discovering, designing, cleaning, cutting and building some tracking ways, leading to the river or to a cave.

     Sometimes, we were also helping the village or the community to build or decorate something, for example when the Kindergarten in Corinth needed some help to paint their wall!"

     « This project is a very nice experience to get to know not only new people but also the nature and the culture of Greece »

This project was supported by the European Solidarity Corps of the European Union through the National Agency “INEDIVIM”.
