Volunteers will can enjoy this wonderful nature that surrounds us and meet people from all over the world that constantly visit this region. They can also be introduce to our practice of using arts and specifically theatre in social contexts, and practice Spanish and Italian languages.
Help
Right now we are constructing our new space in Minca, a small village at the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, very close from the Caribbean coast. The theater that we are building is with eco-architecture techniques in bamboo, wood and soil. This is a place for artistic projects in residence, in the middle of the jungle.
We are looking for active and creative volunteers that have experience in CARPENTRY because we are making the floor and windows of the theatre.
In exchange we can offer lodging and delicious and healthy food, in this tropical paradise, surrounded with beautiful mountains, river and very close to the sea.
We speak Spanish, Italian, English and a little bit of French.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: Fluent
Italian: Fluent

Accommodation
We have a big room for a comunal accommodation and space for tents or hamaca ;)
What else ...
In time off, volunteers can enjoy the river and waterfalls, walk in the mountains and enjoy this incredible nature, go to the Caribbean coast, meet local community and travellers from all over the world that constantly are visiting this village.

Bernardo and Nube are simply amazing. I have loved my stay there and it was hard to leave. I helped with video editing and translation and they were always available to talk and help if I had any doubts. Nubed cooked wonderfully as well!!
They were of great help and very flexible as I got sick and left me feeling like I was part of their family.… read more

We helped prepare the place for the workshop participants and then looked after them throughout the three-day workshop – mostly cooking & cleaning in the kitchen. On the last night they… read more

I had the most amazing time helping Nube & Bernado with their labour of love. I ended up staying a few months I loved it so much! This place is beautiful. They are really lovely people. The food is amazing!! I feel very lucky to have met them & contribute to their project. This is not the last they've seen of me!
