Beschreibung
We are currently looking for a help with the organization of events and preparing the firewood.

Dear reader, this project started as a small initiative with an aim to renovate a long-neglected renaissance house and turn it into a pleasant space, where various cultural events can take place. We are in search for helping hands, creative minds and thoughtful souls, who would help us to prepare a soil for microcosm of shared ideas; an asylum for literature, philosophy, cinema..

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
We are situated in the very center of picturesque UNESCO town (just few steps away from the main square) and yet, the house is surrounded by large garden, which creates a feeling of being in nature, rather than a town. Banská Štiavnica is a cultural capital throughout the whole summer, perhaps a little “Leipzig” of Slovakia. It offers a variety of events. Lively cafés, pubs, a tea house shelter various festivals, concerts, exhibitions.. The town is set in a scenic landscape of štiavnica hills and woods, hiking trails and several small lakes to swim.
Arbeit
We are cultivating garden at the moment, preparing the fire-wood for the winter, tiling the bathroom. (volunteering work is suitable for anyone, only the will matters:)
We also need a help with organising events. (garden_cinema, discussions, public readings, vernissages, concerts..)
We would work together about 4 to 5 hours, 5 days a week. The schedule is flexible.
Gesprochene Sprachen
English, German, Slovak
Unterkunft
Renovated rooms.
We are mostly eating vegetarian, but in case you have any other dietary requirements, we can certainly meet them:)
Was noch ...
Banská Štiavnica is mainly recognised for its sublime genius that might stem from its organic development throughout the centuries and unique setting in nature. Narrow streets of cobblestone epicly winding in front of you, will lock you in the times long forgotten. Still unspoiled by tourism, Štiavnica attracts artists, intellectuals, seekers, pilgrims, dreamers, metaphysicians...

Judith is a charming young girl, whereas her skills and general knowledge surpasses her age. She is keen to learn, initiative and creative. She helped along with laying bricks, plastering, painting, gardening, preparing fire wood, not to mention she is a great cook, and helped to keep the house tidy. I can definitely recommend her.

Marek is simply a… read more
