Tvarozna Lhota ESC

Volunteers will engage in tasks related to the environment, nature, intangible cultural heritage protection (education and presentation of traditional way of life, agriculture, pastoralism, coexistence with fauna and flora, etc.) and community development. They will work alongside the local and other international volunteers. As making organic herbal tea is an important way of promoting local traditions and products in Tvarozna Lhota, volunteers will be involved in this activity. They will learn to recognize different herbs, and then collect them and make various herbal mixtures. In order to see the whole production process, they will help in the social enterprise in a nearby village of Nova Lhota where the herbal teas are packaged. To have a real rural experience, volunteers will take part in other traditional activities, such as: herding sheep or taking care of horses. They will also help with maintenance of public areas in the village and in the area of the local reservoir of Lucina. The volunteers will also help in the museum of service trees and carry out minor repairs and gardening around the sheep farm. Study part: You will be able to get to know different kinds of local food and products and learn more about local products, organic farming, herding sheep, the history and natural potential of the region. You will have a chance to organize an international evening for the locals to present your national cuisine and culture.
