🏢 About the local organisation
The community LTGJ was founded in 2001; today there are 46 people of all ages living together in buildings of a historical farmstead. Many of the buildings have been renovated in an ecological and monument protecting way. In addition to this a central wood heating was installed as well as a water recovering system, and ecological farming is realised in the garden and fields. The community is a project, in which people of different generations have joined to explore community life as an experiment and to find out the ideal conditions for living together in sustainability and solidarity. To achieve personal development they practice methods like Forum, Community Building by Scott Peck, Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg, and are in contact with other groups and projects.
💼 What the programme involves
- the building of a canopy for a small house extension,
- the redesign of a floor in the childrens play area,
- the shaping and maintenance of the territory,
- the cultivation of the newly acquired farmland.
It is possible to find an alternate between the working groups.
