‘De heerlijkheid van Heule’, near Kortrijk, is an open ecological farm where young people facing difficult situations can contribute to society through farm work. They do this alongside various volunteers. Small-scale and organic farming is central to this farm. Young people and volunteers can work in the fields (growing and harvesting vegetables), help feed the cows and small livestock, and do chores in the barns. Additionally, the farm also organizes training and after-school support for the young people, and there are two studios for crisis shelter. There's also a communal kitchen, versatile attic spaces, and a woodworking workshop.
Very important: This is a project in collaboration with ESC. This makes it impossible for volunteers outside Europe to come to this project unfortunately.
