PARTNER: ”Il Pungiglione” is a co-operative that contributes to the development of the local community through the implementation of “Welfare Services” and “production-work” activities, alongside the municipal and partner organizations.
For years it’s been engaged in the crucial work of implementing social policies aimed at improving the quality of life, and in the management of social services and intervention.
By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: ReducedInequalities-SDG10 and SustainableCommunities-SDG11.
PROJECT: The project will take place in “Il Funambolo”, a service center for people with disabilities in Monterotondo, a town in the province of Rome. The idea for the workcamp stems from the need to rethink, remodel and recreate indoor and outdoor spaces of the center, based on the needs of the individuals who experience them daily. This is both a way to refurbish the center and to offer our guests opportunities for personal growth. The social aspect of the project focuses on the local community and the daily activities of the center’s attendants, in which the volunteers will take part.It is important to keep the personal and common areas clean, to respect the guests' personal spaces and to observe silence in the guests’ hours of rest.
💼 What the programme involves
The work of volunteers will consist of the renovation of the center’s spaces, in all its phases: planning, the finding of the materials, etc. In the actual realization phase, the volunteers will be assisted by professional technicians from the staff. Part of the efforts will be focused on the “Spazio Aperto”, the largest hall in the center where many workshops and activities take place. Specific work will include the realization of a coat hanger and a polyfunctional wall with recyclable materials.
Volunteers will support the daily activities of the center’s guests, accompany them in summer outings in the territory, as well as organize thematic evenings with other local realities. These activities will culminate in a great open-air party with the whole local community to promote active citizenship. Workdays will be 6 hours long, with 2 days a week for rest.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation will be in “Il Funambolo”, where volunteers will be arranged with their sleeping bags. Breakfast and lunch will be served in the dining hall, while dinners will be prepared together with the volunteers, to promote the collaboration among the group and the Cooperative staff. Vegetarian and vegan products are available.
📍 About the location
