About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

We are an Environmental Education Center based on artistic creation combined with experiences of nature, sustainable development and music. We teach a respectful way of life, giving an example of a self-sufficient house that has artistic spaces and a music studio surrounded by pure nature. Declared by the Andalusian Government as an Artisan Association, the Pita Escuela is located in a unique ecosystem, an oasis in the heart of the Almería desert. The Association was founded in 2011 by the German Tim Bernhardt who has lived in Almería for more than 25 years. Tim is a professional craftsman, multi-instrumentalist, innovator, manufacturer of musical instruments and pioneer in specialising in the full use of Pita wood (Agave).

💼 What the programme involves

This volunteering opportunity was born out of the need to carry out a continuous production where we will share our extensive knowledge in the creation of musical instruments and crafts made with Agave (Pita) wood. We are looking for motivated people to create these products, welcoming a desire to grow, learn, share and explore. We will form a dynamic and communal working group, in which we are all responsible for daily tasks. Professional craftsman Tim Bernhardt will give an introduction to the various tools, manufacturing methods, and natural treatments he uses in his unique craft. We will discuss the botany of the Agave, knowing its survival tricks and the incredible variety of uses of this sustainable desert resource.
