📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Activities: During the workcamp the volunteers will be supporting the habilitation
of the “Seed House”, which is part of the Training Center and is intended to receive volunteers and offer training in permaculture.
The activities to be carried out include:
• Natural construction with different bioconstruction techniques.
• Finished with earth (scratch coats and paint)
• Installation of rainwater harvesting system
• Home Demonstration Orchard: Land Cleaning, Establishment of Crop Beds. (bedding)
At the end of the workcamp, the Seed House will be a training space strengthened with ecotechnologies that can be used for workshops and be the stay when we welcome volunteers.
Cultural immersion:
• Interpretive walking in the forest. Observation of trees and plants characteristic of the pine-oak forest, recognition of the ecosystem and its relationships.
• Integration and cooperative games. By moving the body and connecting ideas and the heart we promote empathy and group cohesion.
• Creative communication of emotions. With art-therapy and ecotherapy tools we work the expression of our emotions to strengthen personal and collective resilience.
• Cooking. Working as a team we will learn how to make bread and pizza using an oven with wood wrap.
• Campfire - Conversation. Coexistence and artistic-cultural activities (clown, theater, music) around the fire.
• International dinner.
• Free weekend in San Cristóbal de las Casas (includes accommodation).
