📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The work camp is organized by YAP (Youth Action for Peace) in cooperation with ACARBIO (Associazione Costiera Amalfitana Riserva Biosfera) and the local municipality of Minori. ACARBIO is an NGO engaged in the candidature of the Amalfi Coast as Biosphere Reserve within the MAB-UNESCO programme. Its activities focus on the conservation and safeguard of the natural and historical-cultural heritage of the Amalfi Coast, by promoting any kind of sustainable development with projects regarding the environment, biodiversity, tourism, local tradition, mobility, green energy. Among the many activities of the organization, international workcamps are becoming more and more important. In the past 2 years YAP organized with ACARBIO 7 workcamps about cleaning of green areas, the beach, workshops for kids on recycling and upcycling, building of natural houses, etc.. These projects were organized under the name of Make it Green and Make it Blue. As ACARBIO has worked these years promoting a more sustainable approach towards mother nature, we believe this project represents an opportunity to raise awareness about environmental protection at local level, and at the same time promoting volunteering, international cooperation and the involvement of local youth.More information about our previous workcamps can be found here http://goo.gl/HPSXGO
💼 What the programme involves
International volunteers will work at the archaeological site of Villa Romana in Minori, which is a roman noble residence that has been discovered 50 years ago and it is quite well preserved. Volunteers will be engaged in the production of materials that can help have better accessibility to the archaeological site. The main activities will be to translate the descriptions and other materials in their own language, take pictures that will be used in a future exhibition to be organized in the center of the town, prepare a video book that will be available on the internet and smartphones for the visitors of the site. In this period the volunteers sometimes might also be involved in other volunteering activities that are happening in the town, working together with the participants of Make It Blue workcamp for the cleaning of the public beach or in worshops with kids in the topic of recycling. Volunteers will be engaged in work for 6-7 hours a day, for 6 days a week. For this workcamp volunteers will have free tickets for a trip in the beautiful isle of Capri. Participants will also have the unique chance to live the traditional celebrations for Saint Trofimena that will be held in Minori on 13 July.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Board and lodging are guaranteed for all participants. Volunteers will stay at one of the local schools, where there will be bathrooms, showers and a kitchen. Participants will be asked to take their sleeping bag with them. The group will be responsible for preparing meals and cleaning the place. The organization will provide all the food that is needed. Public transportations are available for every days movements. Participants will be leaving together with other 6 volunteers of another workcamp called Make It Blue on the topic of environmental protection and that will take place in the same town.
