Dear friends,
We are going through significant changes in our project, so we're unable to receive people at this time.
Thank you for your understanding. Please return to our profile to check for updates and see if we can connect later in the seasons :)

Our new community projects based on circular economic models: a Repair Cafe and a network of Ecoparks.
If you feel inclined to participate in upcycling, recycling, repairing, repurposing while working with other awesome people, please drop us a few lines. If you know how to repair stuff, all the better. If you know about alternative economic models, all the better. If you know about social permaculture, all the better. If you want to learn about these things, all the better. :)
We have 3 years experience in social permaculture and gift economy, having hosted and lived with about 1000 people from all over the world. This year, we want to take everything we have learned from these people to the local community of Cluj-Napoca, through Repair Cafe and a network of Ecoparks. Come help us develop a fleet of cargo-bikes, a service of recyclables pick-up, a repairs park with a nice deposit and a garden, a series of repair-recycle-upcycle events with the locals.
We will introduce you to our local networks of community supported agriculture, locavorism, local economy, transition towns and permaculture.

We are offering the opportunity to get involved in a number of alternative community projects taking place in Cluj-Napoca at the present time, some of them outside our club, in fields of social permaculture, transition towns, urban gardening, seed-saving, ecological constructions, off-grid green energy production, a.s.o., while staying in our community.

The accommodation is a community house. We share the common spaces(kitchen, garden, lounge, common bathroom, aso) at the ground floor with other residents ( volunteers, couchsurfers, other people transiting the space) and with members of the larger community who attend cultural and social events in the same spaces on certain occasions. We offer private rooms/beds with access to bathrooms, shared usually by 2 same gender persons. We can host up to 4 volunteers at one time.
Cluj-Napoca is arguably the second biggest city of Romania, a very important Academic center and a nice place to see in terms of historical and architectural monuments. Beautiful botanical garden, a lot of parks and natural reservations around the city and a very provocative social and cultural (night)life.
