Work: The work will be mainly manual and outdoor - digging holes for trees, mulching the surrounding soil with organic material, shredding branches, retaining water in the landscape, collecting waste in the forest and in the village, drying hay, building bird boxes, preparing for the construction of an apiary, planting honey plants, pre-paring compost. Work will be carried out in all weather conditions. Please, bring appropriate shoes and clothes that can get dirty or damaged and a raincoat.
Study part: We will go on a trip to Kutna Hora, a UNESCO city with silver mining history. It is possible to organize a trip to Prague, to the Sazava Monastery, to Cesky Sternberk Castle or the open-air museum in Kourim. We will organize two evenings with international cuisine, and learn to sing songs in other languages. We will discuss the rules of permaculture, mulching, how compost works, water retention in the landscape or fighting "pests" in a permaculture orchard.
You will be accommodated in a spacious, newly renovated attic where there is one room for 4 people with a bathroom and two larger open spaces with another bathroom. WIFI is available. You can use a washing machine in the accommodation. Water is heated by the sun. Bring a sleeping bag, a mat, slippers, and a water bottle. Volunteers will cook their own meals from provided ingredients and vegetables grown in the garden (the diet would be mostly vegetarian) in a fully equipped kitchen.
Location: Ujezdec is a very small village southeast of Prague with only 62 inhabitants. The village and its sur-roundings are agricultural, surrounded by extensive monoculture fields. On the other hand, an oasis of biodi-versity, food self-sufficiency and abundance according to the rules of permaculture is gradually emerging on the property next to the house where you will work. Phone coverage is good. The closest bigger city is Sazava, where you can find ATMs, pharmacies and other services.
Leisure time: We can play sports such as football, petanque, outdoor exercise (yoga), jogging, volleyball, bad-minton or ping-pong. It is possible to rent a canoe/raft or bike in a nearby town. In the evenings we can watch movies, make a campfire, and sing. There will also be time to organise hiking trips.
This project is organised in cooperation with the Association for Development 3K which aims to develop three areas: 1. Education through promoting the knowledge and skills needed for the harmonious development of man, humanity and the planet in the third millennium. 2. Language skills, international understanding, and local cooperation. 3. Permaculture and circular relationships. The aim of the project is to prepare the orchard for autumn planting according to the rules of permaculture to increase the long-term resistance of crops and support local biodiversity. Volunteers will also learn how to increase food self-sufficiency and reuse local materials. At this project, you will actively contribute to the achievement of UN SDG15 Life on Land.
The project is suitable especially for those who like nature, spend their free time outdoors, have a positive attitude to work, don't mind a bit of discomfort and walking, and appreciate the silence at night and the early chirping of birds. Beware of possible allergies to hay or outdoor cats. Smoking is only possible outdoors with caution due to fire. We are generally not fans of alcohol. The language of communication will be English, but we are not at all opposed to French either.
Please keep in mind that the work will be outdoors and manual. Bring your favourite recipes, ideally simple or typical for your country.
