Description
Want to learn how to help a community thrive? Are you interested in building and maintaining physical structures, so that people who live in them have warmth, safety and lovely places to live? And do you want to learn about open source systems that provide community members with practical digital tools so that they can co-create their lives? Here’s a great opportunity to learn how to use tools, both physically and digitally. At Avnø we have 6000 square meters that needs care and attention, so that people living here has an awesome place to live their life, learn and grow. The tasks are a mix of regular chores, repairs and new projects. We make sure there’s always heat, water and that everything just works. And we build new stuff when we see there’s something missing or we feel inspired to add structures or functionality to our spaces. Furthermore we have a complex system of IT-infrastructure that allow us to do lots of amazing stuff digitally.
