🏢 About the local organisation
A group of young people who, for about a year now, have been organizing ourselves to revitalize the village and, above all, to promote, within the community, the importance of being together, solidarity, respect for differences, inclusion, and active citizenship. They would like to create an association to rediscover and redevelop places of the village for the local community and also by seizing the opportunity to open up to the world and to interculturality. The poor condition of places of common interest has stimulated the desire and will to reappropriate them. The first goal, besides the rehabilitation of these places, is to ensure the harmonious and positive integration of international volunteers into the local community; this means, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where volunteers feel at ease and the local community can break down the walls of isolation. By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: Reduce inequality -SDG10 and SustainableCommunities-SDG11
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will work 5/6 hours per day, weekend will be free. The work will be mostly in the morning because in the afternoon during the summer it is very hot. Volunteers will work on differents tasks:1. Library: Monteleone s small library is in need of some minor renovations With putty and sandpaper we will go about removing imperfections from the walls to prepare it for the most fun part, painting the walls and ceiling 2. Amphitheater: Monteleone is home to a priceless historical artifact, the ruins of a large amphitheater from Roman times. Inexorably, nature is reclaiming its space, and the amphitheater, surrounded by greenery, needs some maintenance through the removal of ivy, lianas and other shrubs. Together we will then try to enhance it by making it usable without danger.3. Garden: The activity is to redevelop it by removing old trash, cutting the grass, fixing some small walls, and cleaning a small adjacent room on which a mural will be made.
