Earthship Sweden is a non-profit-organization, part of the EECO (European Earthship Circle of Organizations).

We help people that want to build themselves sustainable homes (Earthships/Earthship inspired homes/cob houses or other concepts involving alternative building techniques) to get in contact with volonteers that want to learn how to build one of these for themselves one day.

THE VOLONTEERS AGREES TO THE FOLLOWING:

1) To travel to and from the buid-site by their own expenses.
2) To work on the Project for at least 6 hours per day. The duration of the whole volonteer-period is agreed upon by the volonteer and the Project Manager before hand.

THE PROJECT MANAGER AGREES TO THE FOLLOWING:

1) To supply his/her volonteers with a place to sleep (as much of the work on a Earthship is done during the summer, this may mean a tent if the weather allows).
2) To provide at least two meals and a breakfast per day.

Our goal is to have everyone across the borders help develop the concept further and experiment with the design to maximize its performance. Right now we are present and represented in three countries - Sweden, Belgium and Denmark but we are awaiting one in Norway and perhaps one in the UK soon, so we are growing steadily.

I hope you want to join our search for the home of the future.

Sincerely,
Marcus lewitzki

We are now in negotiations with the municipality of Forshaga to build a whole eco-village where we will live and experiment with natural buildings. This week-end we will go check out a piece of land that the municipality have marked on the map and discuss the details of it all.

But hopefully we will have the project up and running by spring which means that it will be opened for volunteers as well.

Very exciting times!

We have just returned from our 2 week long Earthship-expedition in Skövde together with our sister-organization Earthship Belgium. Really nice and interesting people. We have built a small compost toilet that future volunteers will be using when on site. We will soon post clips from the expedition here on our youtube-channel.

We have just gotten our first piece of land from the housing-association "Jordhälla" located in Svenshögen a few miles from Gothenburg. They want to let us build our first Earthship there and we are currently setting up the project group "Flagship Sweden" who's responsibility it is to plan, research and design everything about the house and eventually act as project managers of actually building it. They will also coordinate and teach the volunteers until the day the house is finnished.

If you're interested in being a volunteer on this project you can go to www.earthshipsweden.org and sign up as a volunteer there. I strongly recommend that you also sign up for our newsletter as well, and you will then be updated continuously as the project develops.
