Szállás, étkezés és utazás
Each volunteer will have her own room equipped at least with a bed and wardrobe. Spaces such as toilets, kitchen or living room will be shared spaces. Meals provided by the community are primarily vegan (with some exceptions, but a vegan option will always be available). Volunteers are expected to participate in the preparation of the meals, just as the rest of the community does: cooking a meal for everyone once a week. There are buses that connect the colony with the surrounding villages, and cities like Barcelona, Manresa or Berga.

Résztvevői profil
Participants should have residence in an EU country and be interested in alternative ways of living, environmental sustainability and personal growth, and have motivation for continuous learning and development of new skills. We strongly encourage the participation of people facing social, economic or geographic obstacles, dealing with educational difficulties or cultural differences, having health problems or disabilities and having limited access to social rights, including long time unemployed people, and members of collectives that tend to suffer discrimination. If you are in any of these cases, please mention it in the motivation letter. In the same way, we also encourage the participation of women that want to empower themselves and develop skills in areas that sometimes in our society are usually occupied by men such as carpentry, electricity, construction and field work.
