🏢 About the local organisation
After having bought the Buzet Castle, the Buzet winemaker’s cooperative called on Concordia to create a renovation project around this property. This 10th century castle located high up in the village of Buzet, has incredible potential. That's why this summer's project would be to clean up and renovate certain rooms in the Castle so that they can be made accessible to the public. The association created by the cooperative aims to transform the site into an eco-citizen and eco-museum space.
💼 What the programme involves
You will help to remove and clean different parts of the castle and empty one of its outbuildings. Over time, the four floors of the castle have been inhabited by several people; all types of objects from completely different times have been accumulated. On this site the project would be to clean and store them in order to open and show them to the public.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in tents, with sanitary facilities, kitchen and collective living room where you will find a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside. You will share the different collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the camp leaders and you will participate in the shopping and the preparation of meals, giving priority to healthy and local products.
