WHAT

WHAT
WE OFFER
The project seeks to promote ecological, cultural and economic resilience in the Island of Cyprus by continuing to develop our small scale permaculture site to serve as a model and training center for local farmers and international permaculture students. "IEROKIPIO" aims to be a model of sustainable development and self-sufficiency for the whole of Cyprus, and to build connections with permaculture projects regionally and internationally.
"IEROKIPIO" needs the assistance and support of passionate and motivated people in a voluntarily basis in the areas of construction, planting, animal care, etc. We also need your junk, items you do not need anymore but could be of great value and usage for our up-cycling ongoing project at "IEROKIPIO". Donations are also welcome as at the moment "IEROKIPIO" is under a major transformation with a number of projects going on and the need for funds and materials are high.
"IEROKIPIO" hosts educational workshops, courses and tours, sustainability, resilience and self sufficiency related events, and long-term training programs on Permaculture and other fields of sustainable development. It also offers workshops, courses and trainings in art-related subjects, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, alternative therapies and culinary arts, and organises retreats on holistic lifestyle, nutrition and health, all of which use the site as a living learn-scape.
