Description

For eight days a restored 13th-century stone village becomes a temporary community built around food: how it is grown, processed, shared and wasted. Fermentation is the red thread – made by hand, followed into the soil and into home-made cleaning products, and used as a way of thinking about "social fermentation". 8 full programme days plus travel. Open to young people aged 18–30; 6 participants + 1 youth leader per country. Fully funded by Erasmus+: accommodation, food and programme are covered, and travel is reimbursed up to the ceiling for your country. Youthpass certificate at the end.
