🏢 About the local organisation
The Zentrum fEr Begegnung in Doro resulted from the collective Popolo Doro. Originally started by 10 Swiss-German Youngsters in 1976. While one part of the collective concentrated on agriculture, another part built and renovated houses in order to create a place, where seminars could be held, holidays could be spent and nature enjoyed. Doro is a good place to gain some distance from your own life situation and the civilized daily routine.Doro isn t a place where people can live during the whole year or for the whole life. For instance there is no school for kids near Doro. So a form of living and working together temporarily was created there. The ownership structure and the organization is complex. The houses are mainly private, but the infrastructure is common.
