🏢 About the local organisation

IBO Italy is an NGO operating in Italy since 1957. Our mission is to promote the access to education and learning as fundamental rights and opportunities for the growth and wellbeing of the whole community, and to involve young people in volunteering and solidarity projects, to foster social commitment, participation and responsibility.

💼 What the programme involves

The work of the volunteers during the camp will be supervised and supported by experienced staff members and will be predominantly dedicated to:
- Constructing structures for the therapeutic garden that is being created near to the house, so it is also accessible to people in wheelchairs.
- Paths and other structures that make the garden and the forest surrounding the historic dovecote tower of the Villa Imoletta accessible to people with disabilities to enhance the experience of outdoor education for primary and pre-school pupils.
- Preparing the space for animal-therapy and dog training activities for small groups of disabled and able-bodied children.
- Constructing sheds and pens for small farm animals
- General maintenance work on the Villa Imoletta

Matching with the aim of the foundation Imoletta some of the young people with disabilities from Ferrara and their families will also be involveld in the volunteering activities of the foundation Imoletta.
