Description

The PHŽ organization has created a space at Sekier for active young people who want to help with the management of a small farm or with various projects in Zaježova and its surroundings. At the same time, they can learn a lot about building houses, crafts, farming, and community life. Last but not least, they have the opportunity to enjoy their stay in a beautiful country. There are usually 5-10 residents and guests at Sekier, while some are there for a longer period (half a year or more), others come for a few days or weeks.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Sekier can accommodate up to 15 people either in shared rooms or in the private small natural building houses scattered close to the main house. Apart from the volunteers, we also provide accommodation to other permanent residents and guests, who come for various craft workshops from all over Slovakia. Accommodation, food and transport is fully covered and arranged together with the hosting organisatrion
