This capability enables a man to keep his ancestral customs and to have a key effect in maintaining the environmental balance. The Ekoclub Association has many provincial branches distributed in different Italian regions. The section of Palazzolo, near Brescia, is very active and has worked to the creation of international workcamps for five years with the help of young people motivated by a strong sense of civic duty. The project is the result of an important partnership between the town Council and the Ekoclub Association. The Council believes in the promotion of youth empowerment projects and in the development of active citizenship.The municipality of Palazzolo sull’Oglio is undertaking a project of enhancement of the naturalistic and historical heritage of the town in which young people are actively involved. The aim of this work is to show to the international participants the ancient historical and naturalistic background of the town and to help its beauties to revive, in a green context. Thanks to the close contact with the Italian environment and culture, the participants will feel an unforgettable educational and enjoyable experience.
