[Strawbale] Big Bale Building Skill-Share / Workshop
Dear European Balers,
It has now been about 4 years that Noe Solsona and I have talked about
the potential of arranging a concentrated skill share meeting of people
involved with building with large bales; the ones weighing a couple 100
kilos -BBB for short.
I made an application for an EU funded workshop at our place from 1-10th
of September focused on this theme, and officially French Noe and
Michael Kallesen from Denmark are the instructors; they have made about
25 BBB's, from warehouses to 2 story load bearing residential homes.
It turned out there were 49 application and only money for 3 of them!
Our application is on 'reserve' as it was number 4...
The person in charge told us that he believes that within a couple of
weeks they'll receive their next funding and they should be able to fund
the application. In other words; no certainty, but it's well worth for
you to reserve the dates if you have a serious interest in this subject.
The format of the workshop registration means that you'll apply straight
to me, and that all is free for 15 people(!). Once I know more I'll make
a simple application form, but I'd appreciate if you would simply let me
know if you have an interest and are able to come. The funding is for
European citizens, however I stated that we'd support someone from less
economic developed non-eu countries as well. Naturally our criteria for
selection is the probability that you'd make good use of the information
gained.
Please notice that the workshop is scheduled to start a few days after
the ESBG 2011 which we also host. In other words you may want to plan to
spend quite some time in our beautiful Moravian countryside.
