GRUENER GRASHALM e.V. Antakya, Türkiye Volunteer opportunity: Earth Medicine VIII
This project focuses on developing a long-distance hiking trail in the Hatay region. Since the earthquake in 2023, we have been working continuously in Hatay and are closely connected with the local communities. The current vision for the hiking trail is focussing on the Amanos mountains. The idea is to start in Ekinci, continue through the mountains towards Arsuz, and then follow the coastline to Samandağ. The project combines hiking, environmental education, and community involvement. It promotes sustainable tourism and supports the region during a time of economic and social recovery. The long-term goal is to create a trail that benefits both local people and visitors while respecting nature. ---------- more infos can be found in the project infopack: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uFH4Ah4b_TlUzNZN92K7_refvn1x_1J-/view?usp=sharing ---------- applications only via questionaire, please use this link: https://forms.gle/FXMGD4Rrc9kCw7X99 Accommodation, food and transport arrangements Food & Accomodation is included.

In addition, the project offers strong opportunities for cultural exchange. Participants will live close to and within the local community, sharing daily life, stories, and experiences. This creates space for mutual learning, open dialogue, and a deeper understanding of the real life in Hatay.
