hypha_etc announces its open call for educators seeking a remote space suitable for short-term pedagogical activities. Our goal is to promote experiential learning practices outside of traditional academic boundaries, providing a platform for educational projects that deepen the connection with theoretical ideas and real-world applications, while embracing engagement and inclusivity. We aim to support educators in empowering students to explore and expand their knowledge within a natural environment, fostering a sense of community.

For this purpose, we offer workshop spaces and accommodations for groups of 5-12 people, free of charge for workshops lasting between 2 and 7 days, at our location in Câmpu Cetăţii, Romania. Workshop facilitators and participants will have access to comfortable accommodations, educational and scientific equipment, and a welcoming community space designed for collaborative learning.

LOCATION AND FACILITIES

Located amidst the natural landscape of the Gurghiu Mountains in Mureș County, Romania, our workshop venue offers a peaceful retreat bordering a beech forest part of the Natura 2000 sites. We offer accommodation in 4-6 bedded rooms featuring a private bathroom and a kitchen corner.

The accommodation is located just a few steps away from the community space, characterized by an irregular shape and visible wood structure with glass walls from floor to ceiling. The community space includes a workshop space/lecture hall, community kitchen, dining hall, and library corner.

Participants will have access to various technical and scientific equipment, including a large monitor, video projector, sound system, video camera, and microscopes. Additionally, there are butterfly nets, birdwatching binoculars, as well as an astronomical telescope and a solar telescope available for use with assistance.
