Learning about sustainable lifestyle by doing @ the Ecocenter Oasis

“Oasis” is an eco-citizen center for training, learning and research in applied ecology. It is a place for encounters, exchanges, exhibitions and conferences. The aims of the center are to show that there are ecological alternatives applicable in all areas of daily life. To reach those aims, “Oasis” organizes various types of training and workshops: introduction to organic gardening, permaculture, natural cosmetics and soaps, sourdough bread and pizza baked in their own bread oven, cheese, dry toilets, basketry, clay coating, vegetable dyes, jewelry from recycled materials, etc.

One of the topics addressed by the center is eco-renovation, which will be the projects main subject. Participants will get involved in the ecological renovation of the place, focusing on re-using as much as possible, in order to show that renovating a building in an ecological way without spending huge sums on technology is possible. “Oasis” recently moved to a new site, so everything has to be done. The volunteers will mainly carry out layout, clearing, renovation (natural coatings with clay and lime) and cleaning of the place. There will also be various outdoor layouts such as the construction of a greenhouse as well as various works in the garden.
