A PROJECT OF GATHERING AND STORING NATURAL RESOURC

When working with sustainability and resilience getting the most out of what you are given is a must. Especially natural resources. This year we will therefore be working around gathering and storing natural resources one of the twelve permaculture principles. The main natural resource we will be working with for the Work Camp is water. This will involve building new water trapping and storing constructions, but also maintaining and reworking already existing water gathering structures at the school. There will be set tasks but also space for volunteers to explore solutions and experiment with these. One of the main tasks is also reworking the green roof on our strawberry House. You should expect to be outside every day and work with garden tools. For instance, you will be digging and moving soil, working with smaller power tools, reworking garden infrastructures, and building smaller constructions for catching, transporting, and storing water. We believe in being very aware, green, and organic in our thoughts and talks, and in our way of living at the school. There will be a lot of different jobs to do with this focus. There may also be maintenance to do on former Work Camp projects/constructions. All projects will be focusing on environmental and green solutions. During camp, we will take time to debate sustainability and resilience. You will be introduced to permaculture, its ethics, and its principles. We will be having conversations about sustainability and permaculture - not only as an environmental issue but on all levels - including sustainability among people and cultures. Please be prepared for practical work for 6-7 hours a day. There will be two camp leaders who are former students from the school, and different work leaders to teach you how to build and work.
