About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

his project will be welcomed by the local community of Filaga and their local people involved in the project Terr@Terra that aims to valorize the historical-cultural-naturalistic environment of the “Sicani Mountain” area by creating a hostel managed by locals including young people with physical or light mental disability. The hostel is used for accommodating hikers, national and international groups. Volunteers will support the local community to help develop rural areas and therefore they will be involved in manual work for the embellishment of the hostel, indoor and outdoor spaces, painting, upcycling for creating benches and furniture, and other tasks related to the vegetable garden and wheat harvesting.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in bank-beds in sharing rooms like dormitory-style. The building was used to be a school and now is equipped as very basic hostel, bathrooms and showers are limited and will be shared according to gender. Food will be prepared by a local people and members of Terr@Terra (a few workers can have light mental or physical disability). Volun-teers divided in shifts will help in arranging the table before and after meals, cleaning the dining room, bedrooms and com-mon space. Slow-Wi-fi is available in the accommodation.

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).
