PARTNER: The festival is organized by the National Institute of Ancient Drama (known by the acronym INDA)and the workcamp is managed by a local organization called "Fare Palazzolo".
PROJECT: The International Youth Festival of Classical Theater is the most important theater event dedicated to future generations on the national and international scene. Since 1991 the performances take place in the Greek Theater of Akrai in Palazzolo, where boys and girls of all ages present very original interpretations of classical Greek and Latin texts, during an event whose strengths are participation and being together. The purpose is to support the management of the festival and the 80 schools that will participate in the festival. The volunteers of the workcamps will take care of the reception of the young actors who will play in those days. The aim is to coordinate the whole event only with a young and motivated group of people, who will have during the experience the opportunity to match with more than 1600 actors/young people from all over the world. The festival will be run from May 16 to June 7 and two turns of workcamp will be organized.
💼 What the programme involves
WORK: Volunteers will support the organization of the "International Festival of Classical Theater for Young People ". They will be active about 5/6 hours a day with different tasks and they will be organized daily in two rotating groups. A group will take care of the activities at the Greek Theater (reception, the work of masks in the theater and order service) while another group will take care of the activity at the Youth Hostel for the lunch organization and for the afternoon cultural activities dedicated to the actors.
🏠 Accommodation on site
ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD: Volunteers will go to live in a hostel with comfortable rooms. There will be a kitchen where they can cook independently. There is no canteen service but the volunteers will have to cook on their own or choose to have lunch (lunch only) with the actors who will be guests of the hostel during the camps.
