🏢 About the local organisation
Les Escaules is a small village (90 inhabitants) in the north-east of Catalonia where, for several years now, a workcamp has been organised in the beginning of September to support the local community in carrying out some local festivities. The workcamp also wants to strengthen the village cohesion and support the locals in taking care of their village and local environment: all together we need to take care of our village!. The festivities happening during the workcamp are an art festival promoting conceptual performance and a traditional dance gathering “Aplec de Sardanes” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cDDPhjzLlM)
