Let's work toghether for real! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saja is a land based project involving a group of people that choose farmland as a space for confrontation after having looked outside and inside of themselves. We have been active since 2010 as a place for experimentation between new and old techniques of Permaculture and organic farming. We produce a wide range of vegetables and fruits while at the same time offering workshops, courses and activities related to regenerative agriculture, food forest, eco-building, veg-gardening, land access and ecological awareness. We use experiential learning and non-formal educational methods as main tools. We are part of networks such as the Sicilian permaculture network (the most active regional network in italy) and the Italian Accademia di Permacultura, we work with GAS (a kind of CSA), and we host volounteers coming from Wwoof and Workaway networks. However, we feel that it is time to open to a more European dimension and we feel mature enough to start working in partnership with other groups with similar aims and objectives in order to offer a wider kind of opportunities to the members of our association to travel and experience different approaches to sustainability, sociality, non-violence, art, human rights and active citizenship. We host yearly more than 50 volunteers coming from all over the world and we're one of the main sicilian hubs for Permaculture farming and soil regeneration. We organize permaculture related courses but also do designs and farming consultancy. Our belief: ..we need Help and we give Help in our everyday life teaching and learning, harvesting and sharing, farming and living in a path of self-sufficiency and resilience. www.saja.it fb page:saja project
