About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The project involves practical activities for the construction of a classroom, for reading and socializing in the outdoor area of Agorateca, the Community Library of Altamura. Agorateca is a space for culture and gathering active since 2019 and located within a school, managed by the Link association. The construction of the Knowledge Garden is part of the "Cometa" project, whose main purpose is to combat educational poverty. The construction site activities will be coordinated by experienced architects and will involve the community in a process of participatory design and selfconstruction, using recovered materials as much as possible.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be lodged in a large apartment close to Altamura city center. Participants will receive food money and pocket money . Money will be transferred on participants bank accounts. Altamura is reachable by plane, train and bus. Link association will support participants in finding the best itinerary based on their exigences. All travel expenses are covered by the European budget. More detailed information are retrievable in the Infopack.

🎒 Leisure activities

The first day of the project will be dedicated to the introduction of the program and to share some information about the pratical project. After that, the rest of the week will be entirely operational and devoted to the construction site of the outdoor classroom. The second week will be used to finalize some details and to evaluate the experience and plan possible follow-up.

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).
