🏢 About the local organisation
The association "La Feina" aims to create a welcoming sustainable place for people facing social difficulties. It sets up educational tools (crafts, agriculture, environmental education, group workshops and events) in order to create positive local dynamics. The activities of the association are based in a rural area, surrounded by breathtaking mountains. The association emphasises the importance of connection between its activities and the local landscapes and resources. Spending time in La Feina means reconnecting with nature and others, taking a temporary break from every stressful aspect of the modern society.
