📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The volunteer camp is organized by Il Castagno Rosso (non-profit organization) in collaboration with the Legambiente Vicenza local group. Since 2020, Il Castagno Rosso has been caring for approximately two hectares of meadows and woodland, gradually developing simple and functional facilities designed to host educational and recreational activities in nature for young people and families.
Over the years, the site has welcomed a forest kindergarten, a homeschooling project, several summer nature camps for children and teenagers, as well as music and theatre events open to the wider community.
Hosting participants in this international volunteer project represents an important opportunity for the association to strengthen cooperation with a broader network of local actors committed to environmental protection, while expanding the social and environmental impact of its activities within the territory
💼 What the programme involves
Zovencedo is a small municipality of just over 800 inhabitants, where a close-knit community actively cares for its territory through local volunteer initiatives. The contribution of international volunteers will be highly valued, offering a meaningful opportunity for cultural exchange and intergenerational dialogue.
Volunteers will support the community by cleaning and maintaining the areas hosting municipal events, as well as assisting with event setup and dismantling. During the second week, they will focus on restoring public information boards and hiking trail signage, helping to improve accessibility and usability for both residents and visitors
⚠️ Requirements
Participation in the camp requires adaptability and a willingness to live in a simple, essential, and nature-oriented way. The setting is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor life, hiking, and embracing a slower, more minimalist lifestyle in close contact with the natural environment
