Open call: Rural designs and sustainable projects. This April in Spain

We started a small business in the Spanish mountains. Now people from all over the world come to our 20 inhabitants village to work online, to write, design, and to create.

But what else we can do with the villages? How we can create sustainable projects which would keep villages alive and not abandoned?

During this Youth exchange, we are going to explore these topics, design possible solutions, spend time in nature and speak about preserving the nature and the village with smart ideas.

If this is something that you is of your interest, feel free to join.

✈️ It’s free of charge (we will even cover your transport and flights, food and accommodation).
