Vision and values

LONG TERM VISION

About 50-70 of us live here. We are a small ecovillage. We are one of the ecovillages in the Czech Republic, we are interconnected. Children learn together here – in our School of Life. We have workshops for creating everything possible – a fermentation workshop, a weaving workshop for making carpets and bags, a sewing workshop, a workshop for working with wood…

We live in our own smaller houses and a few buildings in several enclaves, each with its own common facilities. Some live more independently, some live together a lot. Although some people have their own little garden around the house, we also have communal gardening and an edible forest.

In addition to the desire to live meaningfully, in respect and in a natural grouping, we are also connected by the project of an educational center and a place where people come for stays. Visitors are inspired, take part in the proceedings, relax and experience the local atmosphere. They are transformed by the direct experience of being in Vrábsk.

OUR VALUES
