About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

“Farfalle nella testa” was born in 2013 and It is a cooperative society in Bordano (Friuli Venezia Giulia) that deals with communication of science and public engagement with science. Since 2015 It runs the biggest and the most well known Butterfly House in Italy. The main activity will be outdoors: green maintenance & cleaning the lake shores in the area of ecomuseum and the trails in Bordano. (So the working days will be dictated by the weather). The aim of the project, in addition to helping the local community maintain green spaces, is to promote outdoor living and the well-being; for this reason, the volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in sports and creative workshops such as: rafting, bike ride, drum circle, flight approach and paragliding, ceramic and craft, guided tour of Bordano Butterfly House. Volunteers will carry out activities 5 days (4 day for activities and 1 extra activity) a week, for 6 hours a day.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Flexibility is necessary. - FOOD: the volunteers will cook through working shifts. - TRANSPORTATION: FNT provides cars only for transportation during work and extra activities of the project.

ℹ️ Additional information

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).
