This 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 in the aim of empower and develop rural, therefore they will be involved in artistic work such as painting and make graffiti for the embellishment of the hostel - the indoor and outdoor spaces - doing upcycling for creating furniture or other tools useful for the hostel, and other tasks related to the cleaning of the surrounding area. Two or three Volunteers need to be able to draw and make graffiti (they have to send a portfolio of his/her drawing, graffiti), at least 1 or 2 volunteers need to be able to use a 3D printer to create decorative gadgets for the hostel.

Volunteers will take care of the accommodation (cleaning bedrooms, common spaces, toilets, washing dishes, etc.) Wi-fi is available in the accommodation.
