Description
We are quite new in Norway, moved here from Sweden five years ago to beautiful Lofoten and the pearl Henningsvær. Our ambition and goal is to give new life to an old fishlanding facility / rorbue, located in the harbor area. We are working for to convert it to a multifunction house where art, handicraft and creative work will inspire and grow new things and ideas. We are social and have a great network of friends. We do like to do things outdoors, traveling, enjoy culture, food and meet new persons.
Henningsvær is a small village aprox 500 inhabitants all year. There is many turists that go to explore the surroundings, with fantastic scenarios, crystal clear sea with blending white beaches and mountains with a white cap of snow, northern lights during winter and midnight sun in the summer. In high season you find lots of restaurants and cafes, there is possibilities to do lots of activities in the area- surfing, diving, climbing, skiing, hiking, go mountain biking, fishing and meet people from all of the world
Food we do eat and serve mostly vegetarian and local seafood (mostly fish).
We accept volunteers for longer period then 3 weeks and age of 20 and over and prefer applications from you who have a good knowledge in the different areas that we ask for.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre
