Description

Nina:
I am a curious person. l love learning new skills, meeting new people and discovering the way that they see the world.
I grew up in the countryside but my gardening skills need to bloom. I want to seed the seeds of tomorrow, learning how to grow food to sustain ourselves.
I am an artist and an art practitioner. I paint, sing and play guitar and love writing poetry.
I love performance arts and particularly clowning.
I would like to find a way to make a living from my art practice and teaching creativity as a playful way to build a healthy life.
I love the outdoors and recently trained as a level 3 Forest School leader.

Nathan:
I like to explore, learn, and have adventures. I have had a variety of jobs in my life from working around England and Wales in backpackers hostels, to kitchen work, to building and maintaining poinds, to working in the care sector. My most recent job was as a team leader for an outreach care company working with adults with learning disabilities and mental health problems living independently.

I lived in the Lake District for many years and love exploring wild landscapes, climbing, scrambling, kayaking, running and wild camping in the mountains. I now want to explore alternative ways of living, more connected to nature, more self-sufficient and with a greater sense of community. Although most of my jobs have been inside the time I feel most content is when working outside, doing physical work towards a shared goal, and getting my hands dirty! I like to read, to write short stories, play board games, listen to music.





En francais:
Nina:
J'aime apprendre et acquerir de nouvelles competences et faire de nouvelles rencontres. J'aime apprendre des autres et m'enrichir en decouvrant leur maniere d'apprehender le monde.

J'ai grandit dans la campagne bretonne , et malgre beaucoup de temps passe a aider mes grands-parents dans leurs jardins, je ne sais pas encore comment cultiver mes propres legumes. Apprendre a jardiner est l'un de mes objectifs pour ce workaway.

Je suis une artiste et une animatrice artistique (animation d'atelier autour de l'art therapie, pour reapprendre a etre "playful" et prendre soin de sa sante physique et mentale a travers la creativite.) J'ai valide une licence " Creative Therapeutic Practice" en 2024. :)
Mon projet pour le futur serai de pouvoir un jour vivre de mon activite artistique en liant cela a la connection a la nature.
Je viens de valider mon level 3 Forest School leader. Cela veut dire que je me suis forme pour animer une forest school. J'aimerais ouvrir une forest school en France pour permettre a des jeunes en echec scolaire d'apprendre differement.

Nathan:
J'aime explorer, apprendre et partir a l'aventure. J'ai travailler dans divers secteurs en passant par le management d'auberge de jeunesse pour backpacker en Angleterre et aux pays de Galles, travailler dans une cuisine, construire et entretenir des mares et enfin travailler dans le social. Lors de mon dernier poste, j'etais manager pour une petite entreprise accompagnant des adultes avec une deficience intellectuelle ou un handicap psychique vivant dans leur propre logement.

J'ai vecu dans le lake district pendant des annees et j'aime me perdre dans les paysages, escalader, faire du kayak, courir et partir en camping sauvage dans les montagnes. Desormais, j'aimerais experimenter des modes de vie alternatifs, plus proches de la nature, plus auto-suffisant et avec plus de connections humaines. Meme si la plupart de mes emplois etaient a l'interieur, je me sens epanouis lorsque je travaille dehors, que je suis actifs physiquement et que je participe a un but commun. Je n'ai pas peur de me salir les mains. J'aime lire, ecrire des nouvelles, jouer a des jeux de societe et ecouter de la musique.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Nina:
I have spent the last six months running the woodwork room in a day centre for Deaf people with additional needs. I can do basic tasks in carpentry and would like to improve my skills. I am currently teaching myself the Latin names of plants. I have just qualified as a Level 3 Forest School Leader and can lead small whittling workshops and teach woodland crafts.

I have an extended experience working with children and adults with additional needs. I have a French Social Work diploma (DEME), recently graduated with a Creative Therapeutic Practice degree and would love to join my love of the outdoors and my passion in running creative workshops to support people's wellbeing.

Having worked three years with Deaf people in the UK, I have an intermediate knowledge of British Sign Language (BSL) and would love to share this with you if you are interested.

I used to help my grandparents in their vegetable gardens and I'm really looking forward to be a helper in a garden so that I could grow my own vegetables one day.

Nathan:
I have lots of experience of living in fairly remote places with basic facilities and have basic maintenance skills from looking after backpackers hostels, including one that was fully off-grid running on hydro power from a small stream and purifying drinking water from the stream which we had to maintain ourselves. Also lots of experience wild camping and exploring wild places.

I previously worked building and maintaining ponds so have knowledge of water filtration methods, water quality testing, fish health and digging big holes! I enjoy working outside, learn quickly and happy to get stuck in to any task.

I am not a chef but I have worked as a cook in backpackers hostels and am comfortable in a kitchen, creating simple, healthy meals.

I have previously kept chickens.

I worked in hospitality management for many years.

I have strong computer skills and can assist with any computer help, creating spreadsheets, building and maintaining websites and basic coding.

Keen to improve my French, learn to grow vegetables, look after animals, learn sustainable building methods, off-grid plumbing and electrical systems. I am also hoping to improve my knowledge of plants and foraging over the next few months.
