About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Callan Workhouse is a historic building in a small town in Co Kilkenny. It has a troubling origin and a rich heritage but is now the site of a civic and residential cluster. The grounds of the original Workhouse now include Local Authority offices, social housing, the town s fire station, artists studios and a Camphill Community where adults with a disability are supported to live and work in an inclusive environment, and a small bio-dynamic garden.We hope to continue to improve public facilities at the grounds of the Workhouse by developing the artist studios into a cultural hub with shared community facilities.

💼 What the programme involves

Manual work will be carried out on the grounds. Work will include hard landscaping, gardening, clearing ground, and creating hospitable grounds for community activity at the new cultural hub. This work will be a very specific conservation project and landscaping work that will be more tailored to be understood as a Camphill project.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation in the Camphill community dorms of 3-4 people on mattresses (bring your sleeping bag) in a shared room with access to shared kitchen and bathroom facilities. There is WI-FI connection in the accomodation
