Animal Welfare & Nature conservation as a basis for conscious and mindful coexistence
Be part of our vision
Would you like to get involved in animal and nature conservation and an appreciative and mindful coexistence in our society? And do you want to work with people from whom you can learn first-hand how to successfully put your own ideas and visions into practice? - Then you are exactly right with us. ​We have started our first projects, but we already have numerous ideas for further projects. We can't do it alone. That's why we need you!
Do you want to join us, but are geographically bound?
We are currently looking for energetic and knowledgeable support in building up our social media presence. Are you a creative mind with an affinity for social media who understands and masters the finer points of the medium? Then we would be incredibly happy if you got in touch with us. We already have a very specific idea of how we would like to organise the whole thing. We would be happy to share this with you in a personal conversation.
​
Volunteering is an unpaid commitment, but it is very valuable. To express this and thank you for your commitment, we invite you once a year for 5 days to a great flat in Portugal with a fabulous view over the Atlantic Ocean and the Óbidos lagoon.
Do you live in southern Germany?
We have just written the synopsis for our "Interactive Hiking Trail" project. (The exact location is still top secret). As part of the project, 6-8 short films will be produced, which will show the nature of the natural area and its change through cultural use and the resulting consequences for nature, as well as the natural area that currently exists with its biodiversity of flora and fauna, and sensitise people to the consequences of interventions through development and/or expansive agriculture. You can actively support us in the realisation of the project and the production of the films. So that you are equipped for this task, we will make sure that you learn first-hand from a TV journalist how such contributions are made. This project will start in spring 2024 and the inauguration of the hiking trail is planned for spring 2026.
You are a passionate horse person....
We have our project Channel horse ART-friendly just started and I can tell you: the ideas are just flowing. In this project you can support us with research, help us design the articles, take part in our editorial meetings, prepare expert interviews, brainstorm with us for new topics and their implementation and, above all, ensure that our channel expands its reach by network with other like-minded people. Our team consists of an editor (BBC) and a screenwriter/dramaturge and filmmaker.
Do you have time right now and would like to go abroad for four months?
Then come to us in Portugal! In this case, you should definitely be very fond of animals, be enthusiastic about horses and know at least a little about these wonderful creatures, as in addition to your club work, you will also support us on an hourly basis by caring for our three horses and three dogs.
You will help prepare the online retreat "The Call of the Horses", with which we would like to raise a lot of donations in 2024, and you will also help to lay the foundations for the first residency grants and help people around the world find out about them.
​
At the moment we are in the process of preparing another project, which we would like to implement here on site and in which you can support us closely. This project is still in its infancy and we would be happy to share more information with you if we notice that collaboration is an option for both sides.
​
Since it always takes a while for everything to fall into place, the minimum stay for this project is four months. The important thing here is that you are independend and have a driving license, and ideally also have a car so that you can use the afternoons for trips to the nearby beach, surfing, visiting one of the surrounding cafés or whatever .
​
We have a lot of experience in the media sector, are filmmakers and screenwriters, have won awards in this area and taught at the Film University in Babelsberg, written a specialist book on film and television dramaturgy, have been freelancers for 30 years and have already realized numerous projects in our lives. Among other things, we founded a small company, renovated four old houses and turned them into real collector's items, emigrated to Portugal with our animals, wrote a book about horses and people and founded this association. So if you really want to get a boost to not just dream about your own projects, but to realise them, then you've come to the right place. We will be happy to support you during our time together in realising your individual vision!
​
Weekly working hours are approximately 30-35 hours with one day off. The hours are spread over the late morning and early evening. You live in a small tiny house with your own kitchenette and wet room in the immediate vicinity of the horses and get pocket money to look after yourself.
​
At the end of your stay you will have a week's holiday in a great apartment right by the sea.
What is important to us...
... is your absolute reliability and conscientiousness. You should also have the ability to organise yourself well, work independently and take responsibility for yourself and your actions. Furthermore, it is important to us that you are open-minded and tolerant, and that you are familiar with sincere and respectful communication. You will also need international health insurance. The costs for travelling to and from the country are to be borne by yourself.
If one of the options appeals to you, then apply to us!
We look forward to seeing you!!!
