About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

ALA is a non profit organization specialized in activities for young people and adults in the rural areas. It is based in Sabina, an agricultural area 40 km away from Rome. The main goal is to promote sustainability and the local community. The association works to build an idea of an inclusive educational community where everyone can find the space to express themselves, outside of any social judgement. ALAs mainly deals with youth aggregation, active citizenship, participation, welcome and local development for the purposes of sustainable tourism and redevelopment of abandoned public spaces. This workcamp is all about getting back to the basics, living simply, working with your hands, and reconnecting with the land and with others. We’ll spend most of our time outdoors: preparing the soil for the next season, growing vegetables, and caring for the natural environment. It’s hands-on, meaningful work in a peaceful, rural setting.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The group will be accommodated at Ostello Del Tempo Perso. A local hostel in the heart of Roccantica. The hostel is furnished with washing machine, bathrooms, well-equipped kitchen, and Wi-Fi. The participants will have shared bedrooms with other volunteers.

Deadline: No application deadline

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).
