Alter Nativa is a Slovak organization dealing with nature protection, environment and sustainable rural development using principles of Permaculture.
Save heritage, create future is a short-term EVS project with Activity running for 2 weeks on September 5th – September 18th 2010. The main aim of the project is to save one of the last old-way built traditional village houses in our small village Brdarka. We will try to renew it by using natural or nature friendly building techniques and materials (clay, wood, stone, straw). The house was built by our grand-fathers from dried earth bricks right in the centre of our village. After renovation, it will be used as Environmental Information Centre theoretically and practically by showing methods and materials used on it and also by our EVS volunteers. They will provide information to our visitors as a part of their EVS in our long term project Centre of Alternative Lifestyle running and still developing in Brdarka since 2004.
This EVS project will also allow participants to get basic information about Permaculture and sustainable rural development, visit two National parks of Eastern Slovakia with its beautiful caves and to know history and presence of a region rich on mining, crafts and fruit-growing traditions.
