GREEN-PROJECTS

Sustainable tourism takes the responsibility of ensuring that the environment and society are not adversely affected in any way by tourism. But we go a step further and focus our efforts on positively enriching the local community and the environment, by the cultural exchange that our tours make possible.

With professional and active help of experts and students from Germany and other countries, BASIS is working on different environmental and social projects. The aim is to develop awareness and interest in initiatives like environmental protection, waste processing and waste disposal, traditional handicraft and a sustainable lifestyle. The following projects are given prime focus: tree planting, utilization of food waste as fodder, creating short-term temporary jobs and opportunities for local women to find work that they can do from home.

If you are interested in contributing your time on specific projects during your stay at BASIS, or would like to pitch in as an expert or an intern, full time or part time, you are most welcome.

BASIS HANDICRAFT PRODUCTS: Please help STOP the rural exodus!

It has become the norm for the youth of Kerala to leave their place of birth and either work in other Indian states or abroad. We can’t really blame them as the state of Kerala has very few industrial enterprises which makes it difficult for even well-educated locals to find work. To this end, BASIS is committed to providing job opportunities for the locals right here. With that intent, BASIS manufactures products such as bags, aprons, office binders, college folders, notebooks and so on for sale in Europe. Through this we help locals, and especially women, to learn sewing and other handicrafts and thus contribute to the livelihood of their families.

Gifts for your company

If you are looking to buy affordable handicraft products or gift items for your company, we can do that for you. Send us a sample or idea and we will customise and create that product for you or give you a choice of patterns. Shipment of products is done by air or sea.

Product development at BASIS

Are you interested in volunteering with our team in the sewing school / bindery / wood workshops to develop and create new products locally, thus contributing to employment opportunities for local families? If you are, then we can organize a tailor-made itinerary for you and include this part of the Indian experience in your stay at BASIS.

For further information, write and / or call us. Send us your questions, ideas and interests at info@basis-holidays.com

INTERNSHIPS & COOPERATIONS

Many activities of the “BASIS programs” are supported by internship students from Germany and abroad. Interns can stay and work on the projects in BASIS over a period of at least four weeks. Learning about another culture and the mutual exchange of ideas benefits both the interns and the locals. Collaboration with universities as well as publications as Bachelor – or Master theses have helped make this internship programs a great success through the years.
