📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
BioArt Village is located in the green heart of Eindhoven and is an off-grid WW2 bunker-complex with the looks of farmhouses. BioArt Village is a project on itself where we actively work on societal challenges or concepts that encompass sustainable development and practices of the human ecological habitat and climate. Within this framework, people have to approach systems from a symbiotic point of view where nature, arts, technology and innovation come together.
Activities: at our location we are realizing a sustainable, fully self-supporting location where we apply a circular approach to all of our resources and energy as well as our waste materials through various concepts. Here are some of our activities that you could help us with:
Volunteers can work hands-on with materials, crafts and a multidisciplinary way of thinking to build these concepts up to reality
Caring for our animals, gardening and landscape maintenance (resource-forrest)
Help us with art-related projects
