Join Our Team and Spread Knowledge About Solar Cooking
Are you interested in contributing to a sustainable future by promoting solar cooking techniques? Do you want to collaborate in an international group of passionate individuals dedicated to making a difference? Then this mission is for you.
About the Food Group
The Food Group, focusing on sustainable food production and processing, is one of five core competence groups within EWB Sweden (Engineers without borders Sweden). We work to increase awareness and use of solar cooking, a technique that can help reduce climate impact and improve the quality of life for people worldwide.
What We Are Looking For
We are seeking dedicated and long-term volunteers who want to contribute their time and talents to this important mission. Since solar cooking is a relatively new concept for many, you will initially need to study, learn, and discuss the topic with others in the group. Therefore, a long-term commitment and a willingness to learn are essential.
Your Background and Experience
Since we want to change people's habits, and topics are interdisciplinary. The basic skills you will need are engagement and devotion. You can also have experiences from an engineering field or science, such as food production, energy, thermodynamics or industrial design. However, other experiences such as community development, behavioral science, business or economics are also beneficial. Working/having worked in developing countries (eg South East Africa) is also valuable but not necessary.
