You will learn a lot about disability issues and topics facing the local community. You will also learn how to work along with people with disabilities and how to increase their skills and promote their independence. The area of Plant Nursery/Gardening is about substantial work around plants, herbs and vegetables. 

The area Agriculture is about taking care of the animals and stables. At the woodworking area you will use different wood working techniques as work-methods.

For this you will get extra food money to buy your groceries 🙂 The infrastructure with trains and buses is easy and quick and you will also have a bicycle at your disposal.
