    Description

    We are a free learning space, with many people of different ages who come here to play, study, build, meet ...

    The farm, approximately one hectare, contains a small house -which we use as a "headquarters"- a yurt and some tool sheds. We have some fruit trees and a small garden, two dogs, cats and chickens. During the year, this is a learning space for small and young people and in summer we usually organize camps and work camps.

    We are a group of young people with many tasks and projects in mind, so we thought it would be a great idea to ask for help from workaweyers to come and meet us and learn with us.

    There are always things to do here! During the month of June and July, mainly, we will need help to prepare the Festival: set up a stage, create benches and tables with pallets, mow and clear brush, take care of the farm... and if we are camping, collaborate with the tasks with the small and young people

    You can come here from te 20th of June to the 30th of July, or all september. We wait for you!

Of course you can have your own individual tent. All of them are closed from the main house where the toilets and the kitchen are. All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are included too.
