🏢 About the local organisation
The Panta Rei Cooperative manages 'family-type' communities that host people with intellectual disabilities, aiming to create different paths of autonomy and social integration. By carrying out different activities together, this SCI workcamp intends to achieve a mutual exchange of knowledge and experiences between the guests and the international volunteers. The communities are located in the Piedmont countryside at the hills of Monferrato and close to the main cities of Turin and Asti.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will participate in daily activities together with the guests of the community - in particular garden-therapy, small maintenance works, workshops for manual and sports activities, trips, social activities and entertaining games, etc.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will be accommodated in mixed gender rooms within a community structure, separated from that of the regular guests. There are bathroom and kitchen at their disposal. The volunteers will eat with the community guests and will support the social workers in the preparation of the meals. They will be responsible for cleaning the spaces where they sleep. The volunteers must bring their own sleeping bags and towels!
