Restore an abandoned building to give it back to the community! Policaffè will be the new aggregative place in Valdadige! #ActiveCitizenship #Youth #community #lunarcamp #ESCinTeam Our goal for this year is to keep on renovating the spaces of the Policaffè and be able to expand our cultural activities. In particular, we would like to arrange some rooms of the structure to create a residence for artists. The project aims to empower and stimulate the active participation in and of the community. This camp wants to be an occasion of intercultural exchange for the volunteers and for all of us. It also wants to be a moment for our young people to meet and realize a new great community. We hope that there’s going to be much more of it after this camp! By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: SustainableCommunities-SDG11.
