Volunteers


At Terra Sintrópica, we welcome volunteers from all over the world who wish to explore and deepen their understanding—learning by practice—of the core concepts and practices guiding our work: agroecology, syntropy, soil and landscape regeneration, local production and consumption, and collaborative governance models.

Being a volunteer at Terra Sintrópica means becoming part of this living ecosystem in Mértola, where care is both a principle and the foundation: caring for the land and caring for people. To truly connect and contribute, time is essential. That’s why we accept volunteers for a minimum of 1 month and up to 3 months.

If you are interested and available, please complete the application form and wait for our response. Please understand that we have a limited number of volunteer spots.If you would like to learn more about our project and community processes, we invite you to join one of our guided tours.

Research and Internships 


At Terra Sintrópica, we welcome researchers and interns who wish to explore, deepen, or connect the concepts and practices central to our work: agroecology, syntropy, landscape regeneration, local production and consumption, and collaborative governance models.

At the intersection of interdisciplinarity and a desire for holistic, contextual knowledge, we recognize the importance of academia in validating the work we do. It is essential to monitor our implemented projects, proving their effectiveness while raising new questions that can review and strengthen our actions.
