The farm as a meeting place

Volunteer activities at the farm created a need to invest in a new complementary building. The support aimed to construct a loft house with an outdoor kitchen and document the construction and development around it both with pictures and film.

About the project

The project ”The Farm as a Meeting Place” has carried out a series of activities that have contributed to both the physical and operational development of Charlottendals Gård in Järna. The project focused on creating a meeting place through the construction of a log house to support activities such as EVS (European Voluntary Service), courses, and other education.

Main results:

  1. Construction and interior design: A log house was constructed and ongoing interior design has taken place to create meeting places and accommodation.
  2. Operational development: The farm has become a new meeting point, especially for EVS and conference and tourism activities.
  3. Collaboration and partnerships: The project has collaborated with local actors, associations, and volunteers. Among other things, collaborations have been developed with ”Under Tallarna,” the Sofia association, and Cykelkultur.
  4. New activities: The project created new services through EVS coordination and built a physical facility for meetings and activities.
  5. Long-term sustainability: The farm will continue to be a cultural meeting place and serve as a location for education and courses.

In summary, the project has contributed to developing a new cultural and social meeting place at the farm that benefits both the local community and visitors.

    Project

    ”The support aimed to construct a loft house with an outdoor kitchen and document the construction and development around it both with pictures and film.”

    Justification

    The project contributes to improving the conditions for building in rural areas. LAG believes that the very idea of a loft building as a complementary structure to the existing property can be interesting knowledge for others to broaden their already existing activities. Peter Hagerrot will document and disseminate information to other actors with similar conditions. The purpose of the loft building is to establish a meeting place for the EVS collaboration and people living at the farm. The house will also create opportunities for expanded course activities and accommodation for participants. The initiative strengthens the conditions to ensure job opportunities at the farm.
