Eco village Erlecom

CODE: NL-2618

Work:

Volunteers at de Kleverbergh can experience what it’s like to live in an alternative co-housing community. You can help with a variety of tasks on the land, renovation and carpentry work, and daily household chores. Examples include weeding, harvesting, sowing, processing crops, and preparing healthy meals for the group. In addition, the community aims to preserve several cultural-historical structures, such as the ‘haaghut’, and to convert the stables of the riding school into a creative hub with studio spaces and areas for food processing. The tasks can be varied.

Accommodation and food

Volunteers stay on the site of the Kleverbergh, and meals are prepared daily through joint groups of volunteers and locals. There are several accommodation options. Volunteers can stay in their own tent, but there are also furnished tents and a few cabin-style huts on the grounds. Additionally, temporary houses belonging to members who are on vacation during the project period may be available. Arrangements can be made in consultation to find the most suitable solution.

Location and leisure

The exact meeting point will be announced at a later time. Volunteers can be picked up in Nijmegen or Ooij by the project partner. In your free time, you can go walking or cycling in the surroundings of Erlecom in the Ooijpolder or the Millingerwaard. You can also take trips to larger towns, including Nijmegen or Arnhem. Erlecom is also very close to the German border, so making a trip to Kleve in Germany is another possibility.
