Description

My name is Pavel and I am the author of a project inspired by life in the sea. We imagine what it was like here in the past. The Czech Republic had a sea in the distant past. Millions of years ago, there was a surface under which there was life. Plants and animals. There are many sites where you can freely search for fossils from this time. That is my inspiration. Today, the Czech Republic is not located by the sea, but we have springs, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, dams... that are connected to the whole world.
In order for the waters to be in good condition, it is necessary to take care of them.
That is what we try to do. .
I am an artist who creates artifacts with a marine theme, mainly from surplus materials. I come from a farming family and live with my girlfriend Pavlína and our daughter Mariana. We have hosted many workaways from all over the world.
We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help us with the transition! If you have a helping hand and a positive attitude, we would love to welcome you to our team.
What we are looking for:
- Willingness to help with the start-up of a new place and organization. This includes moving things and furniture. Installing things and equipment in buildings, tidying up and cleaning
- No special skills are needed - just enthusiasm, energy, cooperation and a sense of humor
Become part of our story and help breathe life into the space. Let's create something extraordinary together!
You are welcome in a place 20 km from Pilsen.
Good luck.
Pavel

Naše zcela první dobrovolnická zkušenost byla "na ostrově" u Pavlíny, Pavla a Máji. Tento skoro třítýdenní zážitek byl pro nás velice příjemný a domníváme se, že i dosti přínosný. V čem přínosný?
