Partner: Our partner is Mut Municipality. We have been organizing workcamps with Mut Municipality since 2000. The inhabitants are very motivated to host such an international event in their small town. For more information: www.mut.bel.tr.
Work: With the help of the international workcamps that we have been organizing together with Mut Municipality, the Castle of Mut turned into a cultural centre for local young people. Each year, international groups took care of one part of the renovation work and last year it was the end of the renovation work. This year, the volunteers will take part in landscaping of the cultural centre created by the previous international groups. They will be responsible of weeding, flowering and planting.
