Description
We (Martine, Alexander, Anna [2010], Moira [2012], Leander [2014]) are a Belgian-German family currently living in Germany. We went for workaway a couple of years ago and it was a great experience. The past years we renovated an old school building and were enganged in an alternative school and other projects (e. g. community based agriculture). The COVID-situation for us has made it clear that alternative structures and ideas are needed more than ever. So we decided to once again to go work awaying, meet great people and share ideas, knowledge and expierence with them.

Alexander is interested in everything technical from construction to computers. He likes doing all kinds of stuff with his hands and is good in realising projects with limited resources.
Martine worked for not-for-profit organisations in Belgium (around nature, recreation, sustainable agriculture and education) and is a interested in indigeneous plants and pottery. She translated a book about the Economy of the Common Good and red a lot about electromagnetic radiation.

What else ...
We strongly believe that life is the best school. The last years in an alternative school and COVID reignited our love of the ideas of unschooling. We are therefore looking for hosts who are open to the concept and are willing to share their knowledge and skills also with our children. It takes a village to raise a child as they say. Last but not least we adhere to a vegan diet.
