💼 What the programme involves

Interpreta Natura is committed to environmental education and the promotion of sustainable practices. Our mission is to deepen the connection between people and nature through hands-on projects and educational initiatives.

From 7 to 20 April 2025, volunteers will be involved in a variety of tasks aimed at improving and preserving the natural environment. This includes activities such as rebuilding dry stone walls, cleaning and maintaining trails, controlling invasive species in a natural pond, and maintenance work on the municipal hostel where volunteers will be staying.

ℹ️ Additional information

In this volunteering project, we will organize assemblies and group debates to discuss the direct impact of climate change on our environment. Through these activities, we will analyze the effects we are already experiencing and explore possible solutions. The main objective is to raise awareness among young people about the worrying future of our planet, while encouraging positive and proactive thinking to face these challenges, looking for ways to improve and protect the environment.

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
