As a co-learning resident you will become part of our community for a short-term period. You are free to choose from a variety of different daily tasks to work on (max. 4h of work per day). Every week we write down and share these tasks with you. They involve all kinds of work from our eight departments. We are here to help you with those tasks, but our general work ethic is based on self-organisation and pro-activity.

As an educational project we invite you to not only learn from us, but to bring your own knowledge, skills and interests to this community. Every week we have in rotation an educational activity, a social activity night, a sharing circle and a spanish activity. You are more than welcome to host one of those events and share with us one of your experiences/skills/interests. Besides working on daily tasks, you will also be involved in a weekly communal activity, collective cooking and cleaning, as well as joining our morning circles and meetings.
You will be sleeping in a shared dorm with other residents during your stay. Please keep in mind that while you will be a full member of this community during your stay, you respect our structures, our neighbours and the people who live in this project more long-term. You will receive an arrival presentation and tour in your first days.
