    Over het programma

    This program calls for volunteers to be part of this social and educational proposal. We are looking for students or people interested in working with children, education, arts, social work, social studies, psychology, psychomotricity, and others, that can bring their ideas and perspectives to enrich this project, and take resources and experiences for their future professional life as well. We believe education and art are ways of changing the world and encourage everyone who resonates with this to join us. As a volunteer, your tasks will consist in assisting and coordinating different activities such as regular classes and workshops with the circus students, helping solve problematic situations in the event that they appear as well as bringing tools and perspective to avoid them, and to participate in a weekly open dialogue with the coordinators to deepen the project's impact.

    The organization was founded by international professionals with great and varied experience in several regions around the world. It is making a great effort empowering the people to generate and impulse projects and programs of environmental and social interest in Costa Rica providing funds, gathering donations, working together with other organizations and sharing a lot of experiences with the world. Allowing the people to know more about all the work of communities and organizations to generate a change in the world and minds.


    The team is built around the efforts of volunteers, who participate as integrated members of the organization in any chosen project, while they experience the diversity, culture and nature of the Mesoamerican region.



    The Story


    Planet Conservation was formed in 2004 by Federico and Beate, with the intention of building a platform to present various projects that had been worked on in Latin America. Since then, they have grown in scale, using a holistic approach to tackle the environmental issues that face the world today.


    It was upon talking to their children and hearing of their fears for the future that they realized how essential it was to create a sustainable world for them to enjoy, motivating them to continue to expand and grow the organization.


    Through these projects and many more, Planet Conservation hopes to keep contributing to the shift in collective consciousness regarding the environment. By focusing on attainable yet important goals, we can create a future in which humans and the natural world can flourish.
