Description
We are an holistic education project located in a village 12 Km from Vila Verde, 12 km from Ponte de Lima and 20 km from Braga, Portugal. A group of children get together every day for a learning experience about the inner and outside (nature, maths, languages, sciences, etc.) world.
The educators, parents and volunteers are learning as much as the children about relationships, life and education.
We need help in our work, now in maintenance, gardening, cooking (plant based), video creation, taking care of a land we bought to build an eco community/retreat centre, but volunteers are welcome to propose education activities as well.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
They will be integrated in an holistic education project in Portugal where children are respected, in a natural and beautiful environment.
We expect that this exchange might benefit our project as much as it benefits the volunteer, becoming an experience of true learning and sharing. We are a community, a "soul family".
