The valley where we live is very diverse and dynamic. The helpers will be in permanent contact with many people from both our NGO and the other people living here. Some exchanges might also be possible with farmers, bakers, etc.
What you gonna learn here is:
- How is the life in a Pyrenean valley?
- Many practical things such as cooking, gardening, walking in the mountain, selecting plants and fruits, transform them, etc.
- You will get an experience of collective life with many different people: how is the daily life, how do we make decision, which mediation do we use, etc?
