Program Details

You will come to collaborate in a role that involves the use of hand tools, electric or motor-powered, typical of fieldwork and carpentry. It is necessary to know how to use some of them well and indicate which ones, also mentioning your previous experience.
Additionally, there will be moments of the day dedicated to activities in the garden, in the vegetable garden or to the maintenance of green areas and of the paths, with an understanding of basic sustainability concepts at a neo-rural site.

* Activities will be carried out outdoors (days without rain), in semi-open spaces and inside the structures.

* They include painting details in external or well-ventilated areas, such as windows, floors, furniture and/or walls in the process of renovation.

* The pace will be mostly concentrated in the morning or afternoon.

* We follow customs and rules of practice, described on the site.

* The fee will be refunded at 50% in case of withdrawal communicated at least one week in advance. After arrival, there will be no refund, due to the reservation, preparation to receive you, purchases and travel expenses.

* Your proactivity, together with our lodging and leisure facilities, can generate mutual benefits. Conversations and new agreements for possible extension are welcome.

* All questions should be clarified before registration, which will be by deposit of the basic fee, with what is stated in the dialogue box remaining as the agreement and in the descriptions of this requested position (activity during the stay and structure).

* There may be flexibilizations of pace, schedules, and ways to divide time. Any time not fulfilled on a given day may be used the following day or reduced.

* Only one full day off may occur when six full days of activity have been completed (five hours each)
