Projet de cohabitat à Gand en Belgique

  Description

  I am on site from the 15th of March till the end of september 2024.
  
  After hosting work-away guests for years in my home in Gent, I became ill and had to let go of the house that many workaway-ers helped built and maintain!
  After being part of a cohousing project in Gent and building my new home with hemp concrete, I’m involved in a new project in Croatia ( near Križevci) since July 2021.
  
  This time around we ( as in : me and the biodynamic farm Biomara) aim at creating a place to host (young) people who want to learn and practice ecological (semi) off grid living, building with natural and local materials and bio-dynamic farming. To finish the infrastructure for future guests, both volunteers and paying tourists, I need help. The first investments are done and include a functioning kitchen and bathroom in the main house. We are now working on an outside kitchen, outside showers (for the camping guests), a swimming pond (also part of the water management system). Gardening and setting up more camping infrastructure is also on the list. There is now sufficient accommodation for the volunteers (during six months per year).
  
  I am looking for people who want to assist me (I am invalid and have limited physical abilities) and who also have some idea’s they want to try executing. Daily tasks would be: gardening (cutting grass, repairing the soil), maintenance of outside infrastructure and help tidy the house.
  
  On the camp ground, it is mainly clearing the land, working with wood and help plant some trees and plants. And sometimes assist me with more technical stuff (I am very technical myself, but physically not so strong anymore).
  There’s also the possibility to help on/with the Bio Dynamic farm BIomara...
  
  
  The deal is very clear: 24 hours of work per week in exchange for full board.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Next to the village, the town of Krizevci offers great food, bars, shops and a train to Zagreb on a regular basis (60km). Further more, we are a learning community with lectures and workshops on the economy of communion.

  Aide

  The help would consist of teamwork around the house and in the garden. For the farming experience we collaborate with a very famous bio-dynamic farmer , in the same village. A lot of the work is about deconstruction and salvage materials, but also install non technical items such as fencing.

  Hébergement

  At first we provide tents on a camp ground and shared use of bathroom and kitchen in the main house. Later more infrastructure will be installed on the campground, such as composting toilet, open air shower, electrical hookups, etc! We also want to reuse some of the wood to create a common house on the camping ground, that will be for all seasons and will have a kitchen, several showers and toilets and a sitting area.
