🏢 About the local organisation
The Association NOX ET SOLITODO was founded to support and initiate artistic activities in the village Lukovistia, the place where Slovak poet Ivan Krasko was born. One of the first activities of the association is the renovation of the historical building of the school. The main aim is to create the Regional Art Center.
💼 What the programme involves
Renovation of the old school building. The school was founded in 1928 as a part of the construction of many schools in Bohemia and Slovakia on the 10th anniversary of the establishment of first Czechoslovak Republic. Currently, the building has been abandoned for 20 years. Volunteers will help with easy demolition work, cleaning the walls and cleaning building material and area around the historical building.

The dinners will be provided by the local partner. On request, vegetarian meals can be provided.
