Ecotopia 2000 team is looking for two lovely, creative, non-polluting & devoted persons to work for a year in Finland.
Ecotopia is an annual gathering for European activists involved in social and environmental issues. At the same time it is the summer gathering of EYFA (European Youth For(est) Action). 400-600 activists are expected to come to Finland in August 2000 to create their own eco-utopia for two weeks. Small area in Finland will turn into an eco community where people share their skills and knowledge in workshops, plan new campaigns, do networking and save a small part of the world by using compost toilets and renewable energy. The main theme of next year's Ecotopia will be globalisation.

The work will start as soon as possible and continue until November/December 2000.

The funding is provided by the European Union.
