You will be able to appreciate how a self-managed collective of community artists and activists survive through collaboration, auto-gestión (self-generated income), and networking.
We only offer volunteering opportunities in our community organic garden, and would appreciate help from people who know about permaculture and/or carpentry.

Room in a 3 bedroom house where the collective's garden is situated. Share cooking and cleaning.
Apart from the contact person, most other workers speak only Spanish, so it is an opportunity to immerse in the Spanish (Latinamerican) language. Also a way to see the alternative side of Chile, the more community-based side, the communty arts side, part of the movement to resist the neo-liberal system.
