Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
They would learn about new bio materials such as: mycelium, reeds, granulated cork blocks, lime, plant covers, wetlands with phyto-purification plants, which are the basic elements of our biorehabilitation. In addition to using new bio materials, they would also learn to build low-cost bio-cabins, so that they could later implement their knowledge in other places.

Aprenderian tambien ademas de a usar nuevos bio materiales a construir unas biocabañas low cost, para luego poder implementar sus conocimientos en otros lugares .

We are bio reforming some old drying sheds as the base of our NGO in Villanueva de la Vera (Caceres, Spain)), on the southern slope of Gredos. We do projects with wood, cork, lime and reeds.
