📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
This weekend workcamp will take place in a small Moravian village of Tvarozna Lhota, situated in the White Carpathian Mountains in cooperation with the local NGO “INEX-SDA Bile Karpaty”. This branch of INEX is active in sustainable rural development, environmental education and permaculture projects. In Tvarozna Lhota, our partner runs a museum of “oskoruse” (a local unique fruit) and an open-air leisure and educational centre Cottage Travičná.
💼 What the programme involves
The aim of this workcamp is to get the site ready for a traditional event celebrating the oskoruse trees and fruits called “Oskorušobraní”. The works will be:
- mainly manual and outdoor in all kinds of weather
- You will prepare the site ready for the event (Friday and Saturday) and clean up afterwards
- You will cut and rake grass, pick up branches, install wooden poles
- You will also help with transportation of material and installing and exhibition
Please bring good shoes and working clothes.
Study part:
