About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

After two editions of the Knowledge Garden project, in 2024 and 2025, the third and final phase aims to enhance the outdoor space of the Agorateca community library, transforming it into a place for meeting and socialising, cultural production, and shared knowledge. The goal of this team is to make the KG more aligned with the principles of the New European Bauhaus—namely, more beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive. The activities will include the improvement of green areas, functional upgrades, and the care and enhancement of furnishings. The project will conclude with an event serving as the inauguration of the summer programme for the local community. https://www.linkyouth.org/storie/in-arrivo/1711-volontari-esc-per-il-knowledge-garden?highlight=WyJrbm93bGVkZ2UiXQ== https://www.linkyouth.org/progetti/corpo-europeo-di-solidarieta/1847-knowledge-garden-2?highlight=WyJrbm93bGVkZ2UiXQ==

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).
