💼 What the programme involves
We have planned 3-4 projects that we will be building these two weeks. The 4 projects that we expect to work on (but haven’t decided 100% yet) are:
- Building a dome for a sauna
- Building a dome for a farmshop with local food
- Building a shelter and a bonfire at our lake
- Building a cold cellar underground for vegetables
A lot of local Frilanders will join the building process, so there will be a lot of possibilities to network with people.
Working hours will be in the day time.
