    En español abajo. En català al final.

    Hello! We are a co-housing and co-working project under construction. We propose a healthy lifestyle in a rural environment. We are restoring an old stone house in a small village. Currently we are 2-3 people who combine work in social aspects of technology with the adequacy of the house. We like to play music at the end of the day :) We're looking for people that wants to assist in all or some of this!

    The house has 3 floors, 5 rooms ready-to-live and a garden with fruit trees. We would also love to garden.

    The village has 200 inhabitants, has a small train station and is very nice to walk around the marsh, the viaducts, the forest or the nearby villages.

    ¡Hola! Somos un proyecto de co-vivienda y co-trabajo en construcción que proponemos un estilo de vida saludable en entorno rural. Estamos restaurando una casa antigua de pueblo, de piedra. Por ahora somos 2-3 personas que combinamos el trabajo en los aspectos sociales de la tecnología con la adecuación de la casa. También nos gusta tocar música al final del día :)

    La casa tiene 3 plantas, 5 habitaciones listas para vivir y jardín con árboles frutales. También nos encantaría hacer huerto.

    El pueblo tiene 200 habitantes, tiene una pequeña estación de tren y es muy bonito para pasear por el entorno del pantano, los viaductos, el bosque o los pueblos cercanos.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We will be happy to help you to learn or improve your linguistic skills, as well as transfer all our experience about a self-sustainable and self-sufficient life way.

    We all are Catalonian speaking Catalan, Spanish and English and we love to talk about different languages and cultures.

    Also, we will be happy to share with you the preparation of meals, recipes and much more!

    We like to play music at the end of the day :) We have guitars, bass guitar, ukelele, drums, keyboard,... to share or to play togheter.

  • Help

    Help

    We are living in a house that have one floor enabled.

    We are looking for two types of profiles:

    GENERIC PROFILE: help to adapt the other two floors and improve the whole house.

    Knowledge in any field is welcome, although you can also do tasks that do not require much prior knowledge such as painting the walls or maintaining the garden. The most necessary tasks are in carpentry, electricity or plumbing for which we have certain knowledge and materials.

    * Carpentry: make new doors
    * Gardening: start the vegetable patch
    * Painting: some walls with ecological lime
    * Plumbing: fix a WC
    * Construction: Make the gate in the wall bigger
    * Electricity: we have a good electricity network in 1 of our 3 floors, we need to build the other 2 and the back yard

    TECHNOLOGICAL PROFILE: mostly work in front of computer
    We are preparing and developing a community portal to connect inventors with project developers and donors. It is a (FLOSS) Free Libre Open Source Software project that we want to do with workawayers, so the other profile we are looking for is programmers (one of us is, partially), also to learn together.

    Although the two profiles are not mutually exclusive, if you have the technological profile it would be here to do the bulk of the daily work, leaving more relaxed moments to do gardening things. Anyway in our project we like to work without stress and with time to think :)

    Ya tenemos habilitada una de las plantas.

    Buscamos dos tipos de perfiles:

    PERFIL GENÉRICO: ayuda para adaptar los otros dos pisos y mejorar toda la casa.

    Conocimientos en cualquier campo son bienvenidos, aunque tambień se pueden hacer tareas que no requieran mucho conocimiento previo como pintar las paredes o mantener el jardín. Las tareas más necesarias son en carpintería, electricidad o fontanería para las que tenemos ciertos conocimientos y materiales.

    * Carpintería: hacer nuevas puertas
    * Jardinería: empezar el huerto
    * Pintar: algunas paredes con cal ecológica
    * Fontanería: arreglar un WC
    * Construcción: Hacer más grande la puerta en el muro
    * Electricidad: tenemos una buena red eléctrica en 1 de nuestros 3 pisos, necesitamos construir los otros 2 y el patio trasero

    PERFIL TECNOLÓGICO.

    Estamos preparando y desarrollando un portal de comunidad donde poner en contacto a inventores con desarrolladores de proyectos y con donantes. Es un proyecto de software libre que queremos hacerlo con workawayers, así que el otro perfil que buscamos es el de programadores (uno de nosotros lo es, parcialmente), también para aprender juntos.

    Aunque los dos perfiles no son excluyentes, si tienes el perfil tecnológico sí que sería aquí hacer el grueso del trabajo diario, dejando momentos más relajados para hacer cosas de jardinería. De todas maneras en nuestro proyecto nos gusta trabajar sin estrés y con tiempo para pensar :)

    Ja tenim habilitada una de les plantes.

    Busquem dos tipus de perfils:

    PERFIL GENÈRIC: ajuda per a adaptar els altres dos pisos i millorar tota la casa.

    Coneixements en qualsevol camp són benvinguts, encara que també es poden fer tasques que no requereixin molt de coneixement previ com pintar les parets o mantenir el jardí. Les tasques més necessàries són en fusteria, electricitat o fontaneria per a les que tenim certs coneixements i materials.

    * Fusteria: fer noves portes
    * Jardineria: començar l'hort
    * Pintar: algunes parets amb calç ecològica
    * Lampisteria: arreglar un WC
    * Construcció: Fer més gran la porta al mur
    * Electricitat: tenim una bona xarxa elèctrica en 1 dels nostres 3 pisos, necessitem fer els altres 2 i el pati posterior

    PERFIL TECNOLÒGIC.

    Estem preparant et desenvolupant un portal de comunitat on posar en contacte a inventors amb desenvolupadors de projectes i amb donants. És un projecte de programari lliure que volem fer-lo amb workawayers, així que l'altre perfil que busquem és el de programadors (un de nosaltres ho és, parcialment), també per a aprendre junts.

    Encara que els dos perfils no són excloents, si tens el perfil tecnològic sí que seria aquí fer el gruix del treball diari, deixant moments més relaxats per a fer coses de jardineria. De tota manera en el nostre projecte ens agrada treballar sense estrès i amb temps per a pensar :)
