  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  A cultural exchange in this part of Southern Italy means immersing yourself in the oldest, most authentic Mediterranean culture, which has its roots in the Paleolithic! Being with us you will learn Italian (and Pugliese dialect), the local agricultural culture: agricultural techniques in permaculture and synergy, care of farm animals, maintenance tasks on the farmhouse, the field, the orchards, the forests. You will also learn (and enjoy it daily!) about our gastronomic culture that is based on the quality of the raw materials, then on agricultural tasks. We will do gardening projects, small construction and innovation (we are now exploring the aquacoltura technique and we want to build a water collector from air humidity).
  
  Un intercambio cultural en esta parte del Sud de Italia significa sumergirse en la cultura mediterranea mas antigua, autentica, que tiene su raiz en el paleolitico! Estando con nosotros aprenderas italiano (y dialecto pugliese), la cultura agricola local: tecnicas agricolas en permacoltura y sinergica, cuidado de animales de granja, trabajos de manutencion de la masia, del campo, de las huertas, de los bosques. Tambien aprenderas (y disfrutaras de ella a diario!) sobre nuestra cultura gastronomica que se basa en la calidad de la materia prima, entonces en el trabajo agricola. Haremos proyectos de jardineria, pequeña construccion y innovacion (estamos explorando ahora la tecnica de aquacoltura y queremos construir un recolector de agua desde la humedad del aire).
