O FOJO is a Permaculture familiar project, in implemention, that takes action in its center and that is open to receive who wants to change the World, taking action. We want to inspire, to show that is possible and accessible to everyone. It is a place where you can embrace Nature and here the inner silence, searching for the true human being. Through observation, design, action and many experiences, through art and by doing our part, we are going together to grow in a concious and responsible way. 

To put our purpose in action we started to organise many events related to Permacultura, Bio-Construction, Agriculture, Community Living, Experimenting, amogst others.
