The Otesha Project – Volunteer Opportunities

Cycle Tour Liaison Internship

Otesha are seeking six dedicated, organised, fun-loving liaisons, aged 18 to 28, to join their summer 2011 cycling, performing and workshop presenting tours.  Further information below.

Roam around in a two-wheeled community, explore the UK, meet some great friends, and make a real difference in the world.  Tour members get trained in theatre, workshop facilitation, public speaking, bike touring, bike maintenance, group living, media relations, consensus decision-making, and sustainable living.

As the tailwind that helps the tour up hills, tour liaisons will offer invaluable support to team members, and share the excitement of downhill descents!  Liaisons will spend two weeks in the Otesha office in London before the start of the six-week tour.

Want to do something fun, challenging and worthwhile with your summer? This year there are two tremendous six-week tours to choose from: Northern Soul and Tartan Trail.   We’ll be taking in the delights of the UK from our saddles, performing a play, making the world a better place, learning new skills (bike maintenance, theatre, consensus decision-making, sustainable and group living… the list goes on), meeting new friends, and generally making mischief.

If you’re 18 to 28 and passionate about creating a sustainable future, then come ride with us. Find out more at www.otesha.org.uk/cycletours. Places are first come, first served, so get your skates on!

Arcola’s 10:10:10 Success!

Just yesterday was Arcola’s biggest Green Sunday yet and what a wonderful day it was to host it!  The event was in celebration of the 10:10 campaign A Global Day of Doing and we had plenty of food, free workshops, performances, and people.  Throughout the day we had approximately 400 people attend and participate.  The workshops varied from planting seeds in newspaper pots, creating crafty draught excluders, learning how to be sustainable at home, a free bike maintenance check, and swapping plenty of items like furniture, books, and electronic goods.  These workshops served as a great example as people were able to see the big picture of reduce, reuse, and recycle in its practicality.  We got our message across well with an enthused crowd after our film screening of “No Impact Man” and other performances by various artists throughout the evening at ColourWorks.  Thank you to all of those who attended and we hope you were inspired by the whole event and continue to show your future support and live sustainably.
