Description
YOU ARE ESPECIALLY WELCOME IF:
-YOU ARE HAPPY TO TAKE A MAJOR RESPONSIBILITY IN THE KITCHEN. This means you would spend most of your working hours cooking vegan food and planning meals. We would also like you to integrate the harvests of our vegetable garden in the meals, so you should keep an eye on the progress of the garden and cooperate with the garden responsibles. Most of the time you will be cooking for 7-15 people, and sometimes even more. Of course you can expect to have helping hands around you. We would be really happy if you bring a creative and colorful mindset to the kitchen, as everybody here really appreciates to eat that way, and it's one of our main goals to nourish our bodies well.
-YOU ARE HAPPY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVITY. This means you could cooperate closely with one of us to create content and bring it to our channels, which we have just started to take more seriously. It would be great if you can make nice pictures and videos on your own, but we dont expect you to be a professional. We are happy to give you some freedom in what you are doing, it should be an organic process. Probably this will not take all your working hours, so we expect you to be ready to take part in other activities too.
-YOU ARE HAPPY TO ATTEND TO OUR VEGETABLE GARDEN. Its a high season during summer and autumn for our veggie garden and luckily everything is thriving wonderfully. Which means it needs time and effort to attend everything that needs care. Its great if you have some experience, but its more important that you love them.
-YOU CAN MAKE US A TREE WEAVE/NET. This is a serious responsibility, so we need you to have experience in the field. We provide the materials and this could be your main focus during your stay here.
