The main part of our activities take place in the Green House in Momin prohod and the newly emerging social center of Green Association in Stefanovo . Occasionally, we visit different farms and events in the countryside. Green volunteers can get rich experience in natural farming, basic construction work with natural materials and organizing events promoting sustainable living. Among the main activities to achieve our objectives are the organization of workshops, seminars, festivals and other events that provide valuable experience to our volunteers in the field of permaculture, community building, and event management in general.

I had the opportunity to volunteer with the Green Association for about three weeks in Beglika and for two weeks in Stefanovo. I volunteered at the Beglika Festival, a large music and cultural event held on the shores of a vast lake in the interior of Bulgaria. In Beglika, I met people from many different countries, watched great musical performances, and performed in the Sensitive Theater. The experience also included unique moments, such as going on a boat trip and exploring an island in the middle of the night. Contributing to the festival was a rewarding experience. Afterward, I volunteered at the Green Association headquarters in the village of Stefanovo. We had the chance to explore the village and learn about the history and culture of the region, as well as contribute to the construction and maintenance of the site. I gained valuable experience in construction and similar activities, while also developing a deeper connection with nature and sustainable practices. The activities were well-organized, and the "coordinators", Stasii and Aleko, were kind and attentive. I am grateful the new knowledge I gained, and for the opportunity to be part of such a unique volunteer experience.

This was an amazing and truly inspiring experience — far beyond what I had imagined. The Green Place is beautifully situated by the mountains in a small village. The facilities are simple, which only enhances the wonderful atmosphere of a slower, more meaningful way of life. There’s plenty to do there, yet the daily work remains very manageable. Most importantly, the people and volunteers are great — genuine, warm, and welcoming. I can highly recommend The Green Place, especially if you’re seeking freedom, relaxation, and a great atmosphere.

Had a short but lovely stay. There’s a lot of work to be done but it’s a great project and wish them the best of luck. Hopefully I can come back one day :)
