Agricultural Projects.

You will join a team of international volunteers from all over the world, with whom you'll work and live a fantastic experience.

You might join a local co-operative for the harvesting season or be involved in the life of a farm. This doesn’t usually involve direct contact with animals, although tasks might include helping with general maintenance. Often projects involving agriculture have a wider social aspect, such as working with people with disabilities, raising awareness of sustainable farming, education and so on. Many projects in our programme involve renovating or constructing buildings and infrastructure important for the life of a community. Tasks might involve renovating an old school, helping convert old buildings into social centres, or restoring old castles or historical buildings.

If you are interested in any of these opportunities, please contact us and we will be happy to help you find the right project for you.

PLEASE NOTE YOU NEED TO BE RESIDENT IN THE UK IN ORDER TO APPLY FOR A PROJECT THROUGH CONCORDIA.
