About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The work camp will be focused on taking care of the mountain as a whole. Starting from the mountain path, cleaning them to keep the beauty of this region accessible to as many as we can. Marking the path with the iconic color WHITE and RED to keep them recognizable and safe. The association also manage a mountain hut situated at 1000 meter above sea level, deep into the forest, which we will have the occasion to go, if the weather permits it, to do some maintenance. The hut is and has been a place of expression for all the volunteers that passed by during the years. This kind of project gives the possibility to the community to grow, being in a rural area with few opportunities, bringing new energy, youth and internationality in a place where it is much needed.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accommodation will be mainly at "Alla Rocca - Ostello del tempo perso" a youth hostel situated in the village of Roccantica, a little medieval center in the middle of the mountain. This is reachable by bus, a 20 minutes ride from the nearest train station. The food and shops will be provided by the hosting organization, as the nearest supermarket is not so close and in general resources are not so available. To reach the areas of work we will move or with the bus, when possible, or with cars if the area of work is not easily reachable.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We look for people that like to work outdoor, like hiking and doesn't mind bad weather condition. Shared life will be a big part of the project!
Deadline: 26/11/2025 12:00

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
