Descrição
Do you like healthy exercise, good company, fresh air, natural surroundings, peace and tranquility? Do you want to learn by doing in a centre where we practice permaculture, eco-building, and sustainable living?
We're Almudena and Robert and we run an NGO focused on ecological restoration and environmental education, based our self-built ecological centre in Cantabria, Northern Spain.
For almost two decades we have been hosting volunteers who come to work and learn with us, in theory but especially in practice, as well as enjoying cultural exchange with us and each other. We believe in life-long learning and that everyone has something to learn as well as something to teach.
At present we are expanding our existing 18-year-old forest garden as well as maintaining and improving the eco-buildings on our site. Tasks include tree planting and tree care, building maintenance and gardening work. We typically work 25 hours a week. Volunteers are expected to stay for a minimum of one week. Accommodation is in a cob cabin, caravan or tent. The midday meal is communal; volunteers are responsible for their own breakfast and evening meals which they can prepare in the shared kitchen, for which we provide the basic ingredients.
¿Te gustan el ejercicio sano, la buena compañía, el aire puro, el entorno natural, la paz y la tranquilidad? ¿Quieres aprender haciendo en un centro donde practicamos permacultura, eco-construcción y vida sostenible?
Somos Almudena y Robert y dirigimos una ONG centrada en la restauración ecológica y la educación ambiental, con sede en nuestro centro ecológico autoconstruido en Cantabria.
Desde hace casi dos décadas acogemos a voluntarios que vienen a trabajar y aprender con nosotros, en la teoría pero sobre todo en la práctica, además de disfrutar del intercambio cultural con nosotros y entre ellos. Creemos en el aprendizaje a lo largo de toda la vida y en que todo el mundo tiene algo que aprender y algo que enseñar.
En la actualidad, estamos ampliando nuestro bosque comestible existente de 18 años de antigüedad, así como manteniendo y mejorando los edificios ecológicos de nuestro centro. Las tareas incluyen la plantación y el cuidado de árboles, el mantenimiento de edificios y el trabajo de jardinería. Por lo general, trabajamos 25 horas a la semana. Se espera que los voluntarios se queden durante un mínimo de una semana. El alojamiento es en una casita de cob, caravana o tienda de campaña. La comida del mediodía es comunitaria; los voluntarios son responsables de sus propios desayunos y cenas que pueden preparar en la cocina compartida, para lo cual proporcionamos los ingredientes básicos.
