  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The volunteer can experience a quite and simple life close to wild, clean and natural surrounding. At the same time she/he/it can take advantage of social life and cultural events that are developing in our local community (such as concerts, music and dance jams, artcraft, theatre, dance workshops etc.).
    Our village is surrounded by two big forrests and small hills with the horses grazing outdoor. You can hear cows, goats, hens, ducs, gooses here and experience a kind of surrogate of the old days small scale farming.
    You may chat with friendly villagers and very possibly might meet citizens of all over the world who come to rest in the agrotourstic farms in Nowina.
    You can benefit from all the goods of wild nature – hills with old beech forres, wild animals, small streams, places where grows wild herbs and wild eatable plants.
