Description
An old-timer truck and two small mountain huts and a workshop in the south of Carinthia are awaiting workawayers. We are situated at the foot (approx 700m above sea level) the Petzen mountain, with 2 small houses, and a wood and metal workshop. One of the houses is used by us and the second Is exclusively available to workawayers.
A converted oldtimer truck, collects knowledge and memories, annotates them and links them to digital knowledge spaces. Both real objects (pictures, films, books, objects) and memories (audio and video interviews) can be digitized and viewed in the truck. The truck is equipped with the necessary devices and and a place to make interviews.
We are looking for help to make some small renovation, gardening and wood work, and mainly to help us to awake the truck from its "Corona Winter Sleep" The tasks will be in a quite wide range, starting with simple repair work at the truck, updates of the webpage, collection memories in the surroundings up to the production of some great new videos.
