📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
PARTNER : Pungiglione is a Co-operative that through the implementation of "Welfare Services" and "production-work" activities contributes to the development of the local community, alongside the municipal and partner organizations in the project, implementation and management of social services and interventions, in a logic of overcoming the assistance in favor of the recognition of the person's abilities. The “Arianna's house“ is composed of a family-house and a social/educational center.
PROJECT : The mission of this cooperative is to support people with specific needs to develop their full potential and make them more aware of the environment. The “Arianna's house“ is surrounded by a green space which is about to be transformed into a social garden. The project is composed of two main lines : a physical part and a social part. By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: Reduce inequality -SDG10 and Sustainable Communities-SDG11.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will be involved in the ordinary maintenance of the house and the green areas of the neighborhood. The volunteers will be engaged in activities for approximately 6 hours a day, and will be guaranteed 3 days of rest. They will participate in planting and social farming activities.
The project involves the promotion of the social district, through some sporting and social events that will liven up the community where the people we assist live. Integrated social tourism trips will be planned to visit Tuscia together. The objective is to include adults with intellectual disabilities in the proposed activities. Therefore, proposed games or activities that bypass linguistic, cultural and cognitive barriers are welcome.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be hosted within the cooperative's day services structure. They will have 2 bathrooms and a shower at their disposal. For sleeping, a single inflatable mattress will be provided each. There are shifts for meals and cleaning. Volunteers will have a kitchen at their disposal and will be assigned a weekly budget for meals that they can manage independently through the coordination of the tutors. Local and seasonal products can be supplied and, when the garden allows it, possible vegetarian menus.
