Hopeland is an eco-community located on a 7.6-acre property in the region of Argolida, Greece. The project was first conceived in 2011 by Erato Hatzimihalaki as a space where families could spend time in nature, living and learning together outside the pace of urban life.

​

Built around four pillars—Environment, Tradition, Culture, and Personal Development—Hopeland has gradually grown into a meeting point for people interested in more sustainable ways of living. After its first seven years, the community began hosting international projects through programs such as Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps, welcoming volunteers and participants from different parts of the world.

​

Today, Hopeland is home to long-term volunteers and visitors who share daily work, learning, and communal life while engaging with nearby communities such as the town of Koutsopodi.

​

This documentary project explores everyday life within Hopeland: a clay-built oasis where alternative ways of living, working, and relating to the land take shape just outside the rhythms of contemporary urban society.
