Another year, the Basic Course in Agricultural Bioconstruction returns to Mas la Llum

This year, the dates have changed: the course will take place on 2, 3, 9, 10, 16 and 17 October 2026.
We are as excited as we were the first year to continue collaborating with the Escola Agrària d’Amposta, which gives us the opportunity to share our experience and reach more people who are eager to learn, experiment and co-create healthier and more respectful ways of building.
Because for us, bioconstruction is not simply about knowing natural materials. It is also about understanding how a building works, getting to know the place where we are going to build, and learning how to use the resources available to us more consciously.
And, above all, learning by doing.

A course based on hands-on learning
The course is designed as an introduction to the main techniques and materials used in bioconstruction, with a particular focus on buildings on agricultural sites.
Throughout the three modules, we will explore different stages of the construction process, a 30-hour, face-to-face and highly practical training course.

A course where you learn by doing
One of the things we like most about this training is that the materials stop being something that is only explained on paper.
You touch the earth.
You work with wood.
You understand construction systems by seeing how they work.
And bioclimatic design becomes much easier to understand when you can experience it in a real building.
Part of the training will take place at Mas la Llum, the straw bale house, where we can work with and learn from a real project built according to bioconstruction and bioclimatic design principles.

Would you like to stay overnight at Mas la Llum?
If you are travelling from outside the area and need accommodation, you can stay at Mas la Llum during the training days.
It is also a chance to discover what it is like to sleep in a straw bale house.
We offer several options:

• Camping in your own tent: €10/person - You need to bring your own tent.
• Shared Comanche tent: €25/person - Two sleeping areas and a double bed. 
• Triple room with private bathroom: €50/person - Shared room, maximum 3 people.

These accommodation options do not include breakfast.

And if you would like to eat at Mas la Llum?
You can also have your meals here during the course.

• Breakfast: charged according to consumption. 
• Super breakfast: local and organic products · €15/person.
• Lunch menu: €20/person, all included.
• If you prefer, you can also bring your own food. There is no kitchen available for participants and we do not have facilities for heating food, so in this case you will need to bring your meal ready to eat.

See you in October
We are especially happy to open the doors of Mas la Llum once again for this training course.
Because every course is also an opportunity to share what we have learned while building our own home, to talk about what works —and what doesn't— and to continue learning together.

If you have been curious about bioconstruction for some time, if you are thinking about building or renovating, if you work in the rural sector, or simply want to understand better how we can build differently, this course may be a good place to start.
Don't miss it. See you in October.
