About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will contribute to maintaining an open-air museum of ancient grains called "GASlab", realized two years ago by the association "Il circo pace e bene", founded in 2015 in Milena (Sicily) by a group of locals with experiences in volunteering and international mobility. Volunteers will do manual work like sanding, painting, assembling, digging, harvesting and planting seeds (if season allows), also, cleaning and tracing trails of hiking path nearby (Magna Via Francigena) and other related activities to exploit the surrounding space. Meeting with local ngo’s and intercultural event will be organised.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be hosted in two houses, and will sleep in beds. The volunteers, divided into groups and following shifts, will take care of the management and cleaning of the house and the "Magazzino", preparing meals in a common kitchen. All meals will be prepared and consumed in a common space at the "Magazzino". The place of the activities will be reached by the association’s transport, but it is also possible to reach it by foot. Meals will be cooked by volunteers divided in shift.

🎒 Leisure activities

On arrival training.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Volunteers should like the idea of living in a small town and experiencing collective life. Interested in manual work and agriculture is required. Big cities are not easy to reach, so during their free time volunteers will have to organise excursions by public transport, adapting to the few possibilities available.
Deadline: Application deadline: 18/04/2023

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).
