Thanks to a group of people living there all year long (the so-called Resident group), but also to the ecumenical and international community coming to help, the center has an effect on its visitors' life. As a volunteer, you will be asked to work with the Resident Group. Every Resident has a sector for which they are responsible (kitchen, cleaning, bar, maintenance,... and so on), in which you will help them, and each of the Residents will be there to help you and support you. You will have 6-7 working hours per day. The Centre will organize every year's national camps in the place and the international group will work in parallel with the permanent residence to guarantee the running of all other project schedules. Volunteers will help in the following tasks: kitchen, meal service (tables and dishes), cleaning, maintenance, bartending, and babysitting.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers will be host in 3-4 bed bedrooms with shared toilets on the floor. The meals are typical Italian Mediterranean cuisine, with limited consumption of meat for environmental reasons, and the possibility of choices for those who require a special diet. There is a washing machine available for the volunteers.

Lage und Freizeit

Agape is in the Alps, close to Prali commune. Games, discussions, and outings can be organized during free time. Programmed activities (especially in the evening) are most of the time open to the volunteers, as long as they do not clash with work commitments. The place is beautiful but isolated, though you will stay together with many international participants attending the meetings of Agape.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

PARTNER : It’s been ten years that Lunaria and Agape are working side by side to create a space where people can meet in harmony. Agape International Ecumenical Centre is an important point of reference in Italian Protestantism, being for 70 years a place of education and development, theological exploration, political engagement, acceptance and validation of differences. A resident group still lives at Agape throughout the year. Agape was built after the Second World War as a sign of hope and reconciliation between people, thanks to the voluntary work of many young men and women. The dimensions of community and voluntary service remain fundamental. By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: QualityEducation-SDG4 and GenderEquality-SDG5, two of the pillars of Agape mission.

PROJECT : Every year many people, with different ages and religious, cultural and political backgrounds, come to Agape to discuss and to be challenged, to get to know themselves and each other and to exchange experiences around a particular theme. The work camp will support the management and support the meetings on issues of political, social, cultural and religious interest. The center is volunteers-driven, and its management is in your hands.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This proposal results from the meeting of IBO Italia with the association of social promotion I Tetragonauti ( The tetragonauts, born in 2003, that today consists of professionals and volunteers in the pedagogical-educational and marine experience field. The main goal of the tetragonauts is to realise interventions and socio-educational projects directed to minors, minors with fewer opportunities and difficulties and to people with disabilities by identifying in the marine and sailing environment the privileged contexts and tools of ones own work.The project involves therefore a volunteering experience on board of a sailing boat. Why should I do this experience? To travel on the sea has strong educative and formative characteristics: to go by sea enables to discover different horizonts and possibilities, passions and interests, helps to gain new knowledge and stimulates the discovery of new parts of oneself. Living in direct contact with the sea offers the privileged opportunity of getting to know it, learning to respect it and discovering its rules and beauty. Being surrounded by the sea, day and night, will make you feel the deep connection with the nature. The atmospheric agents and the various forms of marine life will be our companions while travelling. Being part of a crew, sharing with the others the emotions of navigating, the responsibilities, the pleasant situations and the ones with difficulties, allows you to enter in a new dimension made of mutual collaboration, fellowship and trust.The community life in a boat is the priviledged place of collaborative making, the main space to experiment the relationship with rules, roles, duties, tasks and responsibility. The trip is without doubt the most educative moment. It is the moment of detachment from the comfort and securities to enter another reality, different and sometimes tiring, that forces inevitably to let go of what holds you back, your resistance and to deal with the others and with the difference. The activities will foresee the alternation of moments on board and on land. During the week there will be carried out cleaning and maintenance work of the beaches and the trekking paths of the places that will be reached by boat. There will be given much importance to the matter of using plastic and plastic in the sea as part of the project Back to Life. In addition, life on board will be managed communally throughout cooking and cleaning shifts. Through the nutritional pyramid and the exchange of typical recipies from the home countries there will be spoken of dietary education and interculture. Thanks to the partnership with Banco Alimentare Toscana we will also face the topic of dietary sustainability, policies and good behaviors to avoid the waste of food. Every day will begin with a muscular awakening: some simple physical exercises to start to move yourself. During navigating everyone will be involved as part of the crew in the maneuvers (helm, sails, anchor) and in some ba

Arbeit

WORK: Participants will be mainly involved in cleaning and maintaining the high and medium mountain and agro-silver-pastoral paths adjacent to the hostel, as well as supporting the activities of agricultural companies. They will also be involved in restoring the signs of the local paths and in taking care of the greenery of the large park surrounding the hostel. For the identification of the routes, obtaining permits, on-site accompaniment, and assistance during the carrying out of activities relating to the paths, we avail ourselves of the support and collaboration of the Cedegolo section of the Italian Alpine Club (CAI), of the Valcamonica Mountain Community, of the municipal administrations of Cevo and Saviore dell'Adamello and finally of some agricultural companies in Valsaviore. The shifts will be 5 hours per day, for 5 days a week, excluding Saturday and Sunday.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD: Meals will be served mainly in the hostel with a predominantly vegetarian menu, however, variations may be made to meet different needs. Where necessary, volunteers are expected to bring a packed lunch, while on other days they will have lunch together with the local community or at the farms that will host them for their tasks. Main meals are provided (breakfast, lunch, dinner); the remainder are paid by each volunteer. Participants will be hosted at the Casa del Parco hostel and accommodated in several shared rooms: each room has 4 to 5 beds, a private bathroom, and a shower. There are several common areas, including reading rooms, a restaurant, and a large outdoor garden, as well as free Wi-Fi (due to the location of the facility in a closed valley, we cannot guarantee a fast connection in case of heavy crowds) and the possibility of using the washing machine once a week.

Lage und Freizeit

LOCATION AND LEISURE: Cevo (province of Brescia, Italy) is a small mountain village of 800 inhabitants located inside the Adamello Regional Park, at an altitude of 1,100 m. Placed at the junction of two valleys closed by the head of Adamello glacier, it offers a barely anthropic, natural environment that counts on a reduced tourism flow. An atmosphere foreign to urban chaos where time seems to flow slowly, ideal for hiking surrounded by nature. Most local people do not speak English fluently.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

PARTNER: Casa del Parco Adamello is a multifunctional, community place where people can meet and discuss mountain culture. It is a space committed to territorial promotion where we can draw a path focused on enhancing potential and local resources. Here we arrange cultural events, workshops, and training addressed to social innovators and people involved in mountain area development.
PROJECT: We co-design camps together with environmental activists: side by side with the community of communities - both local and elected - and institutions, we want to contribute to Valsaviore’s economic, cultural, environmental, and social development. In line with these objectives, the main purpose of this camp is to provide opportunities for concrete action in a wonderful, fragile, and precious mountain context, and to encourage meeting, exchange, and intercultural dialogue between international volunteers and local communities. Not a secondary effect, the volunteers' activity would translate into concrete actions capable of allowing inhabitants and tourists to experience the mountains and the territory safely and without risks, making it a more welcoming, inclusive, and attractive place.
By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: SustainableCommunities -SDG11, SustainableConsuption&Production-SDG12, and LifeOnLand-SDG15

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

“Overseas” is a non-profit association and NGO established in Spilamberto (Modena, Italy) in 1971 to promote the global development of communities in non-European countries through volunteering and international cooperation, support of local organisations and groups, and solidarity for children and young people in need.
Over the years, the association has taken part in numerous initiatives to promote information and raise awareness on global citizenship issues and has always paid close attention to the issue of the imbalance between an abundance of resources and situations of need, considering the different contexts in which they occur, both internationally and locally.
The work camp takes place at the association's headquarter, which consists of a residential unit and a shed located in a large green area on the outskirts of the village. Participants will stay in the Overseas House and carry out their service in the facilities and spaces originally used as a community-school dedicated to training in agriculture, and now used to promote reuse and recycling.
The participants will stay in the Overseas House and will carry out the service partly in the premises and spaces used for the promotion of reuse recycling and in the surrounding green area.
The participants will have the opportunity to approach experiences that try to promote the culture of sustainability in the dimension of daily life: intercultural living together, moderation of consumption, taking care of the environment and of the community.

The participants will have the opportunity to approach experiences that try to promote the culture of sustainability in the dimension of daily life: intercultural living together, moderation of consumption, taking care of the environment and of the community.
At the start of the camp, possible activities will be presented and a work plan will be defined together with the participants according to their capacities, abilities and desire to learn new things. A collaboration of the participants also near the other locations in the area, in which social farming experiences are carried out in contact with overseas, are also planned.
An integral part of the camp is respect for the environment, values, traditions and ways of living in the Overseas House in which other people reside and the association's activities are carried out. An extra dose of empathy, understanding and adaptability is required of everyone in order to experience multicultural dialogue!
