🏢 About the local organisation
“Città del Sole scs” in an “A type” social co-operative which, since 1986, cares people with mental disabilities and troubled young teenagers, leading them through a customized social rehabilitation path. This year the workcamp will be held in Frassinetto, a small municipality on the edge of Gran Paradiso National Park: a pleasant mountain spot with grazing cattle, very appreciated by hikers. A local common housing in there hosts a maximum of ten people with different ability degrees. We’d like SCI volunteers to help us in creating socialisation opportunities for our hosts as well as taking part in footpaths maintenance and waymarking works along with Frassinetto municipality forestry workers.
💼 What the programme involves
Cleaning of hiking footpaths and improvement of their waymarks, along with forestry workers of the municipality. An important goal of this activity is to involve community hosts, which will also be present during the working hours.
🏠 Accommodation on site
SCI volunteers will be accommodated in a wide house provided by Frassinetto municipality. They must be equipped with mat and sleeping bag. Special needs should be communicated in advance. Toilet paper, washing powder, food and cutlery will be provided by Città del Sole.
