Program Details

Participants will live on the Campus, a hub of collective houses, with single or double rooms, equipped kitchen and common areas, a shower with hot water, a biodiverse garden, proper waste separation and disposal, solar energy, ecological sanitation systems and a design integrated with nature. Here, your stay becomes a large laboratory for experimenting with life in a community integrated with the environmental technologies and practices that we apply at the school. You will engage in daily tasks, reiterating the responsibility of each individual in creating their social reality.

Meal provision is the responsibility of each participant. Lunches are organized from Monday to Friday in a collaborative and low-cost way, with each day one group responsible for preparing the meal, and moments of camaraderie in which other community members also join.


Activities & Shift

Daily activities:
Beyond participating in the group lunch, there is also maintenance of the campus' common areas, involving gardening, cleaning, and harmonization of spaces, composting and dry toilets.

Recurring activities during the week:
Seedling planting, management of organic waste through the different composting systems we have on campus, management of recyclable waste through playful activities and involvement with social projects that we develop with the local community.

Occasional activities:
Bioconstruction and maintenance of ecological sanitation structures.

Our work pace is Monday to Friday, resting on Fridays and Saturdays.
