    Description

    [EN] We are an association, (only 2 years) which manages meetings and activities in Seisón de la Vega, León. We are next to the Órbigo river and this area is flat and very green. A vegan rural innovation project. We have started recently, and we have a couple of orchards and we are planting in the Edible Forest, two greenhouses, and manufacturing preserves, fermented and dehydrated products for self-consumption,... We are preparing the houses, cleaning them, painting them and adapting them for the residences of studies. We are several people in the 2 houses and when there are no projects underway we also share the cleaning tasks.

    Social life in the town is non-existent in winter and lively in summer, and in the next town (10 m walk away) there are two bars and a river swimming pool.

    Help

    We need help with the management of study residences, administration, maintenance, and/or production of projects and events of various types. There are also bioconstruction tasks that we are carrying out in the old stables and the dovecote, with the small greenhouses, etc. The daily routine is flexible, but recommended especially in garden tasks due to the hours of sunshine and teamwork. Every Monday we will give instructions on what to do each week, and we will share the things we need to improve.

    Necesitamos ayuda con la gestión de las residencias de estudio, la administración, mantenimiento, y/o en Producción de proyectos y eventos de varios tipos. También hay tareas de bioconstrucción que estamos realizando en las antiguas cuadras y el palomar, con los pequeños invernaderos, etc.

    La rutina diaria es flexible, pero recomendada sobre todo en los trabajos de huerta por las horas de sol y el trabajo en equipo.

    Todos los lunes daremos las instrucciones de lo que hay que hacer cada semana, y compartiremos las cosas que debemos mejorar.

    If the houses are full, you will sleep in a shared room or tipi (we provide mattresses, sheets and pillows) during June to September, the rest of the time there are single rooms. The food will be vegan, we hope that on the weekends everyone will self-manage their food, although they can always eat whatever is at home.

    Si las casas están llenas, dormirás en una habitación o tipi (con colchones, sábanas y almohadas) compartido durante junio a septiembre, el resto del tiempo hay habitaciones individuales.

    La comida será vegana, esperamos que los fines de semana cada uno se autogestione su comida, aunque siempre pueden comer lo que haya en casa.
