🏢 About the local organisation
Agape International Ecumenical Centre is a place where you can live an intense experience of community in beautiful natural surroundings. This international place has been 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. Agape was and still is an important point of reference in Italian Protestantism. It has been for 70 years a place of education and development, theological exploration, political engagement, acceptance and validation of differences.
Every year, many people with different age , religious, culture, and policy direction come to Agape to get to know themselves and each other.
The aim is to discuss and exchange experiences around a particular theme.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will help in the following areas: kitchen, meal service (tables and dishes), cleaning, maintenance, bar tending, babysitting.

🏠 Accommodation on site
