🏢 About the local organisation
The project is in collaboration with the cultural association 'Tu Quoque' born in the 2013 in Vernazza (SP) Region Liguria. The association works for the land and the typical landscape conservation of the 'Cinque Terre' through the taking care of them with the traditional knowledge and local culture.
During october 2011 the 'Cinque Terre' were swept away by landslides and floods cause the strongs rains with big damages to the houses and the agricultural grounds terraced cultivated in vineyards and sustained by dry wall. Different farmers abandoned the care of the grounds and the vineyards. Some of these grounds have been given by the owners to the association "Tu quoque" to preserve the agricultural and historical heritage of the territory. The project therefore foresees the reconstruction of dry wall of such grounds.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will collaborate with local masters of dry wall to clear and sort the materials, firstly in small groups of 2 persons and once learnt the process they can be involved in the positioning of the materials for the construction of the dry wall and the preservation of the cultures from abandonement.
