🏢 About the local organisation
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. Please visit www.agapecentroecumenico.org to see which are the activity programs for this period.
By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: QualityEducation-SDG4 and GenderEquality-SDG5, two of the pillars of Agape mission.
💼 What the programme involves
WORK: Volunteers will help in the following tasks: kitchen, meal service (tables and dishes), cleaning, maintenance, bartending, babysitting.
🏠 Accommodation on site
ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD: Volunteers will be hosted 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.
📍 About the location
LOCATION AND LEISURE: 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. TERMINAL: Turin
⚠️ Requirements
REQUIREMENTS: Volunteers should come ready to accomplish each task and with an open mind. Volunteers before arrival should contact the Agape secretariat before arriving since travel to Agape can be complicated.
