🏢 About the local organisation
Tularú is a cultural and agricultural project which rose to a start-up after a few years. As a center of sustainable production, their main goal is to use the cultural value of the traditional production techniques in order to create participation. According to them, the bread produced in their farm is the bread of the whole territory because everyone has been involved in the production. For that, they use sustainable practices in agriculture and organize many events.
The aim of this workcamp is to prepare everything for the Feast, a festival around the agricultural activities with music, workshops and events.
This year, for the first time, a nearby farm (Colle Berardino) will organize another harvest festival supported by a second workcamp,, in Rocca Sinibalda. There will be a collaboration between the two groups. Volunteers in Tularù will help in Rocca Sinibalda and in the same way, the group from Rocca Sinibalda will help us during our festival in Tularù.
💼 What the programme involves
All the following tasks will be done by the volunteers:In Rocca Sinibalda :- Help the other volunteers in Rocca Sinibalda to prepare their festival (on the 15th of july, round trip in the same day ). In Talaru : Prepare the interior and exterior spaces; Help in the kitchen; Reap and harvest by hand during and after the party; Accommodate the public.
This work will be supported by the collaboration of the 10 volunteers group from Rocca Sinibalda, during the 3 days of the event (20th, 21st and 22nd of july).
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will be accommodated in the tents provided by the host close to the farmhouse where the local staff live (obviously, the volunteers can bring their own tents if they prefer). However, the mattresses and sleeping bag are not provided by the host, volunteers have to get it.
There is a compost toilet and a shower outside with hot water (from thermo compost), but in case of need is possible to use the internal bathrooms.
