🏢 About the local organisation
Neorurals Assoc mission is helping all the people residing in cities but interested in rural lifestyles find solutions that can facilitate this transition.All our actions are based on a central idea: cultural development of the rural environment.For many years now, as the countryside has been losing population, many cultural activities that used to take place there have been disappearing due to migration to urban areas.Thus there is a cultural degradation & a lot of our ancestralà´s knowledge is disappearing due to no longer being useful in the urban lifestyle.Reversing this situation& promoting a permanent return to rural areas requires work on the revival of certain cultural components.Only in this way we can create a vicious circle where culture brings people& people bring more culture
💼 What the programme involves
For the planting of trees we first have to dig a lot of holes and build an irrigation system. We plan to plant many fruit trees in the 5 hectares of field that we have at our disposal. As for the construction of the agricultural warehouse, the most complicated parts are made by professionals specialized in construction. However, the warehouse will have a roof full of aromatic herbs that need to be planted. Other tasks include wall painting, and arranging the wood. DIY skills will be needed for the construction of the dry toilet where recycled materials will be used including wood panels and hay that we will have to collect from the neighbouring farms. The working tasks will always be easy and safe.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The accommodation will be in big tents (3 people each) in a camping area in the village of Àger. it is important that you bring your own sleeping bag. For cooking there is a wooden stove and many kitchen utensils. There is a dry toilet, a couple of showers and a small solar panel installed.
