📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Raad & Daad is a socioeconomic gardening company that strives to activate and create meaningful living- and working conditions for people who cannot live up to the competition in the labour market. Thus, most of the people working at Raad & Daad is not well integrated into society. Some are fragile or with minor disabilities. You will be working together with some of these people. They might not be good at English, but they are looking forward to meeting you and welcome you.
Raad & Daad is organic gardening with surrounding fields with different crops, but it is also a second-hand shop with furniture and clothes and a farm shop. Raad & Daad also delivers their vegetables to the locals, and do services like lawn mowing.
💼 What the programme involves
You will be part of the daily work in our 6 hectares big organic outdoor gardening. In June, the primary work tasks are to exterminate weeds, harvest and sell vegetables. We also have some goats and hens that need to be fed, and if you have building skills we can also find some construction projects.
Besides the work, we will, of course, have time to participate in cultural events in the local area and do smaller trips to the sea and the fiord.
