It is an Hands-on approach in ancient building techniques, specially lime mortars and plasters, with introductions to raw earth (adobe, rammed earth, CEB, earth plasters) and ceramics (modelling, raku firing, other firing techniques). During the camp we will act in public structures repairing, maintaining and co-creating new assets on these buildings, focusing on the Castle s Kiosk and OCT s facilities (workshops where raw and fired earth materials/works are explored and produced). Cooperation, communication, self esteem, problem solving, risk evaluation, leadership and decision making are competences that we will work together while (re)building for and with the local community.
