Odd jobs, painting, gardening at Villa Mescolanza

Villa Mescolanza is a vibrant community center in Turnhout, a place where diversity is lived and experienced every day. The name literally means “mixture”, which perfectly reflects the spirit of the house: a lively melting pot of cultures, ideas, and dreams. More than 23 associations call this place home and work together to build connection, encounter, and shared initiatives.

During this volunteer workday, we will roll up our sleeves together at the community center. The program includes tidying up, refreshing the garden, and painting, helping this warm meeting place shine even more.

This day is not only about practical volunteering, but also about getting to know one another, meeting new people, and sharing experiences.
