Neorurals: Reclaim the Land. Rebuild the Future

CODE: ES-CAT W11.4

Work:

The tasks of the camp will be mainly tasks related to bioconstruction, construction and forest clearing, we will work on creating a natural pool (hopefully swimming in it as it will be very hot!)

Other tasks such as wall painting, woodwork, setting and creating a more welcoming space for future volunteers will also be done during the camp.

DIY skills will be welcomed. The working tasks will always be easy and safe, always accompanied by a professional that will guide the volunteers.

The accommodation will be in big tents (3-4 people each) in a camping area in the village of Àger. It is important that you bring your own sleeping bag.
