About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Natural routes are a precious asset of the Tuscany. They create a bond between people and nature, and encourage a deep curiosity and passion for the environment and physical activity. However, they need regular and dedicated maintenance in order to be available and comfortably traversed by visitors all year round. In Trail Angels, teams of volunteers coming from all Europe will be hosted in Tuscany for one month between May and July to take care of different routes within the areas of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Massarosa and Fucecchio, and will help and meet the local communities along their period of service. ------------------------- * Please, note that we won't answer to any application from people who don't fill up this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc7FdlJzN2h8nawOLAXEU_QKSXBpIAxIfA6Scgfelgg8hBhVQ/viewform?usp=dialog More information on the project and the accomodations can be found in the infokits linked on the form.

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).
