Resumo: The project is located on a small farm 12km from Leuven in a village. This centre is organised by the organization. The farm consists of different rooms for different workshops ( music, movie, sewing, herbs, cooking, art, wood, painting, …), a garden, forest, a pool and some chickens. This is the project where the volunteer will be involved. The project is surrounded by fields and nice nature reserves for walks.
The village is 12 kilometers from Leuven in the Flemish part of Belgium. The village is part of Rotselaar. You have to note that the farm is located outside the centre in rural setting. There is a village centre at 2km with a bancomat, bakery, little shop.
This rural setting is located in the region Hageland, know for its little hills, wineyards and nature reserves. The surrounding is very nice for walking, running, cycling. Although it is located very rural you have very good connection to 2 cities.
The nearest city is app 6km, where you have a swimming pool, cinema, library, train station and buses to get to other parts of Belgium. By bike it takes you 20minutes to get there and with the bus evenonly 5 minutes. The bus is riding every hour.
Leuven is located a bit further. It takes you 20 minutes with the bus to get there. Even in weekends you have on friday and saturday a bus till 2h30 in the night. Leuven is a student city with lots of shops, bars, library, sport centre... and all what you need.
In CentrumMolemmoes there are sleeping rooms for the volunteers. This is your private space. Kitchen, living room and bathroom is in common with the project and/or other volunteers. The volunteer must be able to live independently. He/She will get a budget to do the shopping. In the kitchen everything is available to cook.
