📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The cultural association Comala in collaboration with the Municipality of Turin runs the Youth Center Polo 365. The Youth Center is a multlifunctional space dedicated to music and arts with a recording studio, a media room and a screen printing room. The association is mostly specialized in musical arts but over the years has expanded its cultural offer with theatre courses, radio, video-making and new media workshops (www.comala.it).
💼 What the programme involves
In the months of June and July the association will organize S.L.A.M., a summer festival with outdoor concerts and theatre performances. Volunteers will help Comala in the management and in the logistical aspect of the festival. Volunteers will be also involved in the kitchen team in order to prepare food, that will be served during the dinner aperitif. A part of food will come from unsold supermarket food since Comala is currently working to carry out a project of social food in order to raise awareness on food waste reduction issue.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will be accommodated in the structure of the association. They will sleep in some rooms on the ground; in this sense they need to bring sleeping bag and mattresses. The bathrooms are shared. Volunteers, in shifts, will self-manage meals preparation and the clean-up of used space.
📍 About the location
The workcamp will take place in the city of Turin, north of Italy, well connected by international airport (Caselle) and train stations (Porta Nuova and Porta Susa).
⚠️ Requirements
It's required an interest for the topic of workcamp and capacity of adaptation.
