🏢 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 activities aimed at the young participants will be:
- managing the vegetable gardens/ collecting the produce for the preparation of the meals and the autumnal transformation/transplantation of the gardens
- taking care of the rose garden and the agroforest orchard
- installation of a plant-based water treatment facility (Phyto depuration) to manage and reprocess the water.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will sleep in tents (everyone takes their own one) that will be put up near the forest. Outdoor showers and dry toilets will be available.

🍲 Food

The meals will be prepared on a communitarian basis and a kitchen is also available.
