Program Details

Help us improve our coliving in Portugal!

We’re working on upgrading the space and need people with skills in carpentry, plumbing, ironwork, construction, or electrical work.

São Pedro do Sul is 4 km away—40 min on foot or 20 min by bike (a bit longer back!). There are supermarkets and everything you need. In winter, we enjoy the local pool—usually empty, perfect for a swim. Nearby, you’ll also find thermal baths (search "Termas São Pedro do Sul").


Activities & Shift

We work in the morning, 5 hours from monday to friday.

You'll be assigned a specific task agreed in advance. It can be an individual task or a collective task depending from the need.

We offer in exchange the lunch everyday and a kitchen where you can arrange autonomusly for breakfast and dinner (we provide food). (During lunch is expected cooperation in dish washing and clear the table.) We Do it on rotation base.


Rules

We agree the tasks and the goals of the week togheter in a monday morning kickoff meeting.
