🏢 About the local organisation
For this project De Amicitia is collaborating with the town hall of Pedrezuela.
💼 What the programme involves
The youth council of Pedrzuela saw the need to train, raise awareness and sensitize the young people of the municipality on the importance of conserving the natural heritage of the area, as young people in the municipality are often unaware of the diversity and the natural patrimony of Pedrezuela.
The Pedrezuela Youth Council wants to start teaching environmental awareness at an early age, with focus on the local parks, gardens and green areas, including the streams that surround the municipality.
The aim of the workcamp is to collaborate with the town hall in this task; to teach and sensitize the young people.
The volunteers will take a very active role in the development of the project. They can be creative and bring in their own ideas and knowledge.

Accommodation will be in the sport center of the town. There will be several bathrooms and the showers for the common use. The kitchen will be a mobile camping kitchen that is set inside the sport center for the volunteers. Mattresses will be provided but the volunteers have to bring sleeping bags.
