  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  In our home, we are a multicultural family. So who will be here will be able to interact with Portuguese, Latvian and Russian cultures. Our intuit also through this experience is promoting cultural exchange with a local community. We can offer the opportunity to learn how to start a land project and management, step by step, without a large budget. We also offer the possibility to help with an eco-construction project in our forest park, where we are preparing the space for our outdoor and educative project: Forest School. Learn to have more curiosity about living in the countryside without all the commodities of living in modern life, learn about deep interest in social and awareness projects about sustainability in vulnerable communities, get involved in the activities that we will share with them, be ready to share experiences and being active and also creative. We have a lot of space for Land Art.
