  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of five. Father, Tobias, mother, Nynne, and our three children aged 11, 9 and 5. We have previously lived in eco-villages, but have now, for various reasons, chosen to start a new project from scratch.

    We took over this place in June 2022. This is, in the midle of the most wonderfull bornholmske surroundings, where we want to creating an unschooling community for families who have chosen to homeschool there kids and who want to live in a community based on a vision about the idea of ​​selfdirected learning.

    We need some helping hands during the spring and summer to get this going♥️

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You will get an insight in how it can be to live an unschooling life on a farm. Maybe you will get inspired by the dream and the vision we have for this place, and maybe you will inspire us♥️

    We hope that you will find it giving and inspirering to work both alone and with us. We will be plantning a lot of seeds, and maybe also harvest some fruit together.

    We think and hope that you will also be inspirered by the stunning nature that surounds Baelatopia and in general on Bornholm.

    Help

    We will need help with smaller construction projects and building, but you don’t have to be a professionel. We will need a lot of help in our garden, where we this year want to start a perma garden project, and would therefor love to have people with interest in and knowledge about organic farming and permaculture, so we can learn from each other.

    It is also possible that we will need help with taking care of the animals on the farm, but this would only be smaller tasks. We have both cats, chickens, sheeps and rabits.
