Short-term (2 to 4 weeks) "arts project" projects in Denmark

In the middle of our ‘'park garden'' we have allocated an area for organic gardening. Therefore, you should expect to work with garden tools building up parts of the area. It could be by making raised beds for vegetables and flowers. Water channels for watering, digging a chamber in the ground for keeping vegetables during winter. Natural shade for plants and people. Etc. THEREFORE, it is garden work - all done by an environmental way, using nature, for the nature! However, the main work will be to assist in building an organic greenhouse. Later the greenhouse will be used as a classroom and for yoga and meditation, - and of course for flowers and plants. We will be using the shape of a dome, or making another straw bale house – we are still to decide. The area of the new ‘organic world' is approximately 1000 square meters. Our garden is consisting of some very spectacular old trees, and together with the imposing structure of the straw bale house and the music house, the Lotus House and the Tree Top House, we have a wonderful world. We would like to link the buildings together with our new organic garden and build pass ways between them. During camp, we will take time to debate sustainability - not only as an environmental issue but also on all levels - including sustainability among people and cultures.

You should expect to stay in a tented camp in the middle of our garden. There is also a chance of sleeping in dorms or rooms when available. In all three weeks access to showers and toilets in the school building are available. Food is made by our kitchen staff and served three times a day. However, you should expect to assist after all meals doing dishes. In the weekend, you will assist in the making of the meals. Let us know if you are vegetarian.
