🏢 About the local organisation
This workcamp is organised in cooperation with Studio ALTA, a multicultural and creative hub focused on contemporary dance and theatre. The artistic program of Studio ALTA emphasizes courageous and innovative pieces that encourage engagement, creativity, sharing, and open-minded and constructive dialogue. The theatre is closed during summer, so you can have a look behind the curtain and see what ordinary visitors cannot. The aim of the workcamp is to help with installing a new seat for Alta. In this workcamp, you are actively working for the UN SDG11 Sustainable cities and communities.
