🏢 About the local organisation

Would you like to spend three weeks living and working with young people from all over the world? Are you curious about all you can do around a vegetable garden?

You will share the work and daily life with people that came from all over the world and from various social backgrounds to offer their time and energy, be it for a week, a month or a year - because together we can go further!

💼 What the programme involves

Our permaculture garden is a space that gives everyone the possibility to learn how create a vegetable garden by observing the way the ecosystem works and adapting it to production. This year, in addition to the general garden maintenance, you will work together to create a solar dehydrator allowing us to conserve the fruit, vegetables or herbs grown in the garden.
