PENALES) Location: PORTSLADE ENVI-KIDS - Environmental-Work with kids 01/07/ 1 16/07/ PROJECT: Moulsecoomb Primary School teaches around year olds and has a strong ethos of working in partnership with the local and wider community. The school believes that one of the best ways for children to learn is through practical activities and the school grounds are full of artefacts such as a totem pole, Mesolithic hut and an iron age round house. The school works closely with The Moulsecoomb Forest Garden and Wildlife Project, which has a collection of allotments which have been converted into an environmental project for the benefit of the local community. The Forest Garden and Wildlife Project began in 1994 and is now a magical place hidden away behind the railway station. WORK: International volunteers will be joining the family of the school and need to be flexible to the daily tasks that may be set around the school grounds like painting, gardening and maintenance then in the afternoons they will be split up to help out in the classrooms with the children. The theme explored this year is the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro so the volunteers will be involved in global education and preparing for a carnival style party. Two days a week the volunteers will visit the outdoor education gardens at Moulsecoomb Forest Garden Project and help with watering, planting, digging and learning about their work with the local community. ACCOMMODATION & FOOD: The accommodation is basic but adequate; volunteers will sleep on the floor in the community room at the school. There are showers and cooking facilities at the school. Please bring a sleeping bag and roll mat. The community room is used at 8am for breakfast club so volunteers must be prepared to tidy their things away in the morning and have breakfast with the children. It is really important that volunteers respect that they are in a school and act as role models for the children. Since it is always nice to try new and different dishes, volunteers are encouraged to bring along their favourite recipes from home!

Although the work is not always strenuous you will need to be reasonably fit and active to come on a working visit. This project allows volunteers to gain an insight and experience of living and working in a modern day Buddhist community, helping to gain a peaceful and relaxed mind and meeting others with shared perspectives and ideas.

Buddhafield emerged out of the coming together of Buddhism and ecological awareness in the 1990s. Buddhafield is inspired by the ideal of living and working more simply and kindly in a community informed by awareness of our interconnections with each other and with nature. We run a programme of camping activities in the South West of England and own two beautiful pieces of land, which we are committed to managing sustainably and which we use for several events each year (not the Festival itself). We are perhaps best known for organising the much-loved Buddhafield Festival, now in its 17th year, and for the Buddhafield Café, which provides vegan food at festivals like the Glastonbury Festival. THE FESTIVAL: The Buddhafield Festival is held over a period of five days, on a beautiful site in the Blackdown Hills, in Somerset, England. The event brings together around three thousand people for a sharing and celebration of alternative social, cultural, political and spiritual values. The mix of activities around Buddhist, environmental, healing and social change themes together with general festival attractions such as singing, dance, yoga, drumming, live music, comedy, craftwork, chai cafes, saunas, hot tubs and a huge range of activities for children, attracts a wide range of festival goers. The feedback we get is that for many the event is a reminder that a more positive and kind alternative to conventional competitive and environmentally damaging ways of living is possible. In keeping with the Festival's Buddhist ethos the event is a drug and alcohol-free zone. Here is a brief youtube clip of the festival - v=zjusbjwlwq8 WORK: Needless to say, in order for the Festival to be a life-enhancing and indeed for some a life-transforming experience, much hard work is required. From the day we arrive in an empty field with a small vanguard, our numbers gradually swell until we have around eight hundred volunteers welcoming the two thousand visitors. The set-up crew erect the structures that will act as kitchens and venues. They establish the infrastructure such as plumbing, compost toilets, showers and saunas. They make the site beautiful and safe with flags, bunting, paths, fences and lighting. Then during the Festival we have stewards to welcome and guide festival goers, to manage parking and traffic and to attend to people's well-being. Toilet wizards maintain the compost toilets. A team of recyclers sorts materials so as to minimize landfill. The café crew feed volunteers and festival goers alike. The site crew look after the infrastructure, tents, water etc. During the setup phase volunteers will get one day off and during the festival two or three days either as full days or half days, depending on the needs of the particular area. Página 6 de 15

7 Página 7 de 15 full days or half days, depending on the needs of the particular area. VAP volunteers can choose from one of a number of areas of work during the five days of the Festival itself (July 13th - Sunday July 17th): the Dharma Parlour, the Buddhafield cafe, site crew, recycling and toilet wizards. In addition we have an ambitious barefoot journalism project we d like to invite the VAP volunteers to take part in - see below for more details. The Dharma Parlour is the area of the Festival where there is a daily programme of Buddhist talks and discussions - the work here will be keeping the area beautiful and welcoming. In the barefoot journalism project we will ask those volunteers who want to (and we hope it will be most of them!), to go out into the festival and find people to interview about specific questions eg what is Buddhafield?, what is meditation? what is Buddhism, etc and then report back by speaking live to camera for one or two minutes in their native language we d record them on video and that way quickly produce a series of short informal multi-language videos. If people are happy with them we d post them on YouTube and add them to our multilanguage Anybody Anywhere internet project. During the Festival the volunteers will have work shifts, but will also have time to enjoy the huge variety of events taking place and facilities available as outlined above. Volunteers are asked to attend daily morning meetings, the exact time depending on what area of work they choose to join. The work is very teambased. The whole enterprise runs on goodwill, awareness of each others needs, good communication and mutual support. During set-up and take-down there will be organised events around Buddhist themes, attendance at which is completely voluntary. There are generally also alternatives such as spontaneous musical gatherings, often around a fire. ACCOMMODATION and FOOD: If possible volunteers should provide their own tents, however if necessary Buddhafield should be able to provide a shared canvas structure (e.g. a geodesic dome) as an on-site communal camping accommodation. However this may be needed or workshops during the day, especially during the Festival itself. Volunteers should bring their own sleeping gear such as sleeping bag and sleeping mat. Buddhafield will provide food (mainly vegan) and hot drinks are available throughout the day. TRAVEL TO BUDDHAFIELD: The Festival site is in remote countryside, with only two buses per day going near the site. The nearest town is Taunton in Somerset which has good trains to London. Once on site it take a long time to leave and go shopping etc. We are therefore asking all VAP volunteers to arrive in time to travel up to the site together on July 6th on the 17. bus from Taunton town centre.
