Get hands-on creating the heart of our festival and event space, the community square. Engage in eco-construction building structures made out of sustainable materials like clay and straw-bale next to practising natural weaving techniques. Tend to the earth through gardening that follows permaculture principles and get crafty in helping us create the festival decor.

Your journey at Manas extends beyond tasks. You have the chance to embrace 3 weeks of shared living as an opportunity to experience living in a healthy and thriving community. During these weeks, you will cook and eat together, maintain clean surroundings, and engage in frequent community-building activities. These moments of connection and personal growth are the foundation for a flourishing community at Manas, making your journey not only about building structures but also about nurturing bonds that can last a lifetime.

OUR LOCATION:

157 kms from Budapest, 13 kms from the Balaton Lake.

We're on the lookout for vibrant individuals aged between 18 and 30 who are legal residents of the European Union - a total of 15 people.

To minimize the project’s carbon footprint, we invite participants to choose green travel options such as buses, trains, or shared cars, making the journey to Manas as eco-friendly as possible.

If you're someone with a curiosity and enthusiasm to learn about eco-construction, willing to get your hands dirty and contribute to the transformation of Manas, you're exactly who we're looking for.

Beyond skills, we seek individuals open to the communal experience.

Being part of our community means engaging in workshops, sometimes requiring vulnerability and openness.

If you're ready for a transformative adventure and eager to be part of a community-driven project, your journey at Manas awaits!
