About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This proposal comes from the collaboration with IBO and the association Ali del Vento that operates in the field of horseback riding both with lessons in riding stables and with walks. The work carried out also assumes a strong social value in the exercise of Assisted Interventions with Animals (IAA) for the disabled and on the vision of an ethical man-horse perspective and ethological approach, not based on the exploitation of the animal but on its respect and welfare as fundamental elements. The activities will take place at the riding school run by the Association the Wings of the wind in Cona (Ferrara) and will consist of collaboration in cleaning the stables and horses present at the riding school, collaboration in the care of horses and general maintenance of the riding school. In your free time there is the possibility to organize visits to the cities of Ferrara, Bologna, Venice.

🏠 Accommodation on site

At Casa IBO in via Boschetto 1 - Ferrara about 8 km away. There are 2 dormitories with bunk beds, shared bathrooms, kitchen for preparing meals independently. Guaranteed transport from accommodation to riding school.

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).
