  Description

  Help grow a permaculture centre & outdoor homeschool in southern Italy
  
  We are investing our time, energy and lives into creating a Permaculture Centre and an outdoor nature-based homeschool in southern Italy. We live off‑grid, rooted in the three permaculture ethics: Earth Care, People Care, Fair Share.
  
  What we offer:
  
  · Vegetarian/vegan meals (vitto)
  · Private accommodation in a bungalow
  · A small, authentic community experience in nature
  
  What we are looking for — two kinds of kindred spirits:
  
  1. Families with young children (1–3 years old) who travel with a camper, caravan or tent – and who wish to share daily life, help with small tasks, and participate in a growing vegetarian ecovillage project on land full of energy, beauty and potential.
  2. Vegetarian/vegan individuals or couples interested in an immersive experience at our small permaculture centre. You’ll help us with the many daily tasks of country life (gardening, building, cooking, childcare, maintenance, etc.). In exchange, you receive free accommodation in a bungalow and all vegetarian meals.
  
  If you are looking to invest (time, skills or resources) more long‑term in an ecovillage project, we are also open to that conversation – just reach out and tell us about your vision.
  
  Location:
  Halfway between Bari (30 min by car) and Matera (40 min by car), southern Italy.
  
  Our shared values:
  
  · Vegetarian/vegan lifestyle
  · Low‑impact, off‑grid living
  · Respect for nature and children’s free learning
  · Cooperation, not competition
  
  If this resonates with you, we would love to hear from you.

  Help

  Here we are vegetarian, so we can host vegetarian and vegan people. We appreciate if you are also able like pruner, gardener, mechanic, or carpenter. Anything that is useful for our small eco-village and that helps us achieve self-sufficiency. All the vegetables and fruit we are growing are just for our own personal comsumption.
  We also do pet therapy in primary school, so we could need help for some project with children.
  We would like to realize an outdoor school here in our permaculture center where children could learn about self sufficiency.
