A Transylvanian Tale
Our projects story is also the story of the valley Ioanas Grandparents grew up in (and hardly ever left). It's the story about people, deeply connected to the land they work. In her movie "The Grandparents" she went on a personal journey to explore this, and her own connection, to the region. In Ioanas second short movie "A Transylvanian Tale" she goes on journey exploring the valley myths and stories. If you like, it's available to watch here.
With Dupa Gard we aim to conserve some of these traditions, while also using the input of science-based permaculture to build a stable foundation for a sustainable or even regenerative future. We interact with the local community, but also spread the message beyond our little valley. With projects like the renovation of the barn with cob, we show that working with local, natural materials is: more healthy, more convenient AND cheaper. PLUS it can be loads of fun, if done TOGETHER.
If you have hesitated so far, now is the opportunity to support these efforts and take an active role: either by choosing one of our goodies, donating, or/and coming over to join our events for some hands-on action. Be it with the goodie "MudBath" or "Permaculture Campfire" - you will learn cobworking, help create a community space for volunteers and enjoy yourself. Join us now, and you wont regret it!
The images are AI created, and symbolise our vision for a green, positive future.
PS: after a very good start into the campaign, over the holidays we had nearly no movement. Since we didnt even reach half of our goal, we will now scale up our efforts, and hope to reach more people able and willing to contribute.
