Moving to the kin’s settlement is not only a choice of place of residence, but also a way of life. Residents of the kin’s settlements strive for harmony with nature, take care of their health and the environment. Kin’s settlements attract more and more people who are ready to change their lives for the better. Residents of the kin’s settlement Batkhai have also decided to change their lives by choosing to live "on the land".
The kin’s settlement Batkhai is an association of people living in the settlement on the basis of mutual help and cooperation. In the kin’s settlement, residents are engaged in various activities and have many plans in 2024: a family camp, beekeeping training, and a guest day.
Family and labor camp
This is not the first time a family camp has been held in the Bathai settlement. It is an informative and entertaining project aimed at parents and children of 5-12 years old, the settlers themselves create the program, implement it themselves, and together with the project participants take an active part!
Family camp is a great way for participants to get away from gadgets and social media. Instead of endlessly scrolling through newsfeeds, participants can enjoy socializing with their loved ones, playing outdoor games, taking a break from gadgets, and learning from local residents about beekeeping and building kin’s domains.
Also, a summer labor camp for teenagers who want to work during the summer is organized in the Batkhai settlement. The work is mainly related to the improvement of the kin’s settlement. The children are offered to stay in guest houses. The main advantages are the opportunity to spend time with benefit, breathe fresh air, and enjoy peace and quiet, which is especially important for teenagers living in big cities.
Beekeeping training
As part of the family camp, local residents of the Batkhai settlement conducted master classes on beekeeping. The topic has been of great interest each time, so this year the settlers decided to do a separate project on beekeeping education. An apiary can provide not only high quality honey, but also make the area more environmentally friendly by pollinating plants.
Before starting beekeeping, it is necessary to learn the basic principles of bee care and the choice of an apiary site - all these topics are the focus of the Batkhai settlement beekeeping education project.
Guest days
Moving to the kin’s settlement is not only a choice of residence, but also a way of life. In kin’s settlements they strive for harmony with nature, take care of their health and the environment. That is why guests are always welcome in "Batkhai" and there are special guest days for them, when settlers can talk about life in the kin’s settlement, the principles of neighborliness, and what they do.
