Descrizione

We co-design camps together with environmental activists: side by side with the community of communities - both local and elected - and institutions, we want to contribute to Valsaviore’s economic, cultural, environmental, and social development. In line with these objectives, the main purpose of this camp is to provide opportunities for concrete action in a wonderful, fragile and precious mountain context, to encourage meeting, exchange and intercultural dialogue between international volunteers and local communities. Not a secondary effect, the volunteers' activity would translate into concrete actions capable of allowing inhabitants and tourists to experience the mountains and the territory safely and without risks, making it a more welcoming, inclusive and attractive place. By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: SustainableCommunities -SDG11, SustainableConsuption&Production-SDG12, and LifeOnLand-SDG15

Work

Volunteers will be mainly involved in cleaning and maintaining the high and medium mountain and agro-silvo-pastoral paths adjacent to the hostel, as well as supporting the activities of agricultural companies. They will also be involved in restoring the signs of the local paths and in taking care of the greenery of the large park surrounding the hostel. For the identification of the routes, obtaining permits, on-site accompaniment and assistance during the carrying out of activities relating to the paths, we avail ourselves of the support and collaboration of the Cedegolo section of the Italian Alpine Club (CAI), of the Valcamonica Mountain Community, of the municipal administrations of Cevo and Saviore dell'Adamello and finally of some agricultural companies in Valsaviore. The shifts will be 5 hours per day, for 5 days a week, excluding Saturday and Sunday.

Partner

Casa del Parco Adamello is a multifunctional, community place where people can meet and discuss around mountain culture. It is a space committed to territorial promotion where we can draw a path focused on enhancing potential and local resources. Here we arrange cultural events, workshops and training addressed to social innovators and people involved in mountain areas development.

Location

Cevo (province of Brescia, Italy) is a small mountain village of 800 inhabitants located inside the Adamello Regional Park, at an altitude of 1,100 m. Placed at the junction of two valleys closed by the head of Adamello glacier, it offers a barely anthropic, natural environment which counts on a reduced tourism flow. An atmosphere foreign to urban chaos where time seems to flow slowly, ideal to hike surrounded by nature. Most local people do not speak English fluently.

Accomodation

Meals will be served mainly in the hostel with a predominantly vegetarian menu, however variations may be made to meet different needs. Where necessary, volunteers are expected to bring a packed lunch, while on other days they will have lunch together with the local community or at the farms that will host them for their tasks. Main meals are provided (breakfast, lunch, dinner); the remainder are paid by each volunteer. Participants will be hosted at the Casa del Parco hostel and accommodated in several shared rooms: each room has 4 to 5 beds, private bathroom and shower. There are several common areas, including reading rooms, a restaurant and a large outdoor garden, as well as free Wi-Fi (due to the location of the facility in a closed valley, we cannot guarantee a fast connection in case of heavy crowds) and the possibility of using the washing machine once a week.

Volunteers will assist in picking and collecting mangrove seedlings from the forest, replanting mangroves in the open or destructed areas, collecting non-composting materials and garbage in the forest and seashore, providing environmental education and awareness, and participating in educational visits to various organizations working on environmental conservation.

Partner

Mangrove trees that are expected to stretch along coastal lines are important as animal habitats and natural seawalls. However, despite this reality, mangrove forests are among the most threatened habitats in various countries. These trees may be disappearing more quickly than other inland forests than expected. Experts are informing us that the outcome of the disappearance of mangroves will result in fisheries declines, threats to migratory bird species, degradation of clean water supplies, erosion, and land subsidence. The Sea Forest: Sea Wall Project is an initiative aimed at contributing to the conservation of the coastal environment to ensure the sustainability of islands. This project is hosted by a community-based organization, ZAVECO, which works to preserve the coastal environment.

Location

The project will be hosted in the Kibele community, south of Stone Town. The island is small, making all natural and cultural attraction sites close and easily accessible. Possibilities include visiting museums, local markets, Stone Town, Jozan Forest for wildlife tours, a spice tour, Safari Blue with water sports, swimming, and enjoying views of marine life, as well as cultural and eco-tourism among many other options.

Accomodation

Accommodation will be at the community residential house. Expect to share rooms with other volunteers. Food will be provided at the project-designated site. Volunteers with special dietary requirements are advised to provide information before arrival.

Requirements

This project is looking for volunteers who love nature, are interested in working outdoors, are open-minded, and are interested in other cultures and local realities.

Partner

PROJECT: Elderflower Fields was born in 2012 out of a desire to create a new festival designed especially for families and children. The festival sold over a thousand tickets, and everyone loved it, the sun was shining, kids played, and people danced. The festival was so popular that it happened again in 2013 and then a new bigger venue in 2014. Pippingford Park is set in an Area of Outstanding natural beauty. The host intentionally keeps Elderflower Fields small – this is part of what makes it such a safe and special festival. Designed especially for those with young children as an opportunity for little festival first timers to dip their toes into a magical world of music, fun and nature. Families return year after year for a weekend filled with new experiences, exploration and celebration. Elderflower Fields is an independent festival, created by So Sussex and put together by a small but hardworking team to create a magical experience for their audience. The rest of the festival is made up of friends, family and amazing volunteers – hopefully including you!

You will also be taking part in workshops to raise awareness of interculturality and sustainable development.

Partner

In an idyllic setting overlooking Fort Boyard, the workcamp will involve restoring the redoubt as well as intercultural sharing between locals and volunteers in peacebuilding. Located at the mouth of the Charente, the Fouras peninsula is home to 3 harbours and 5 beaches on the Atlantic coast. The municipality of Fouras-les-Bains and the Maison des Bateleurs - Solidarités Jeunesses association have decided to renew their partnership to continue the restoration work on the Aiguille redoubt (fortress), said to be the largest in France.

Meals will be prepared in turn by you, especially for lunch and dinner, while respecting environmental values and local resources, as well as everyone's culture (hot and cold dishes as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes will be prepared).

Meeting point

The team leaders will wait for you at the Camping « Le Cadoret » in Fouras on 22 May, from 3pm. All the information you need to get there will be in the project roadmap.

Work

The aim of the volunteering is most importantly to create and hold meaningful programmes regularly which support the children's development and studies (e.g. supporting Ukraine or English language courses or holding after-school workshop and day-care activities), meanwhile helping with the everyday duties (lunch, cleaning, tidy up the new library, etc.) in the institution. Children come from challenging backgrounds, having either never attended school or only experienced online learning, making it difficult for them to adapt and remain in school. An art and craft, a hip-hop dance afternoon club, sport opportunities are just some of the possible classes that would improve their knowledge and spirit.

Partner

Egyesek Youth Association organizes this volunteer program together with the Masoret Avot Nursery and Primary School and the Українська асоціація "Єдність" (UA Unity Association). The main goal of the project since May 2022 is to create an educational and community centre for Ukrainian kids and families in Budapest. The jewish school cooperating closely with the EcoSpace is a safe place now for 250 children aged 6 to 18. They can find support, friends, learn and develop thanks to our devoted team of teachers who themselves had to flee from the war.

Notes:

We warn the volunteers that the consumption of alcohol and smoking is strictly forbidden inside the school. It is an advantage if the volunteers have knowledge of Ukrainian or Russian language. Besides, it is necessary to have basic knowledge about a group's animation (songs, music, dance, plays…) and to be able to assume responsibility within a group. Being able to listen to others is very important there. This kind of workcamp is a very rich personal and human experience. It makes you aware of the complexity of certain social conditions related to the great inequalities on our planet. In order to demonstrate this, we ask the candidate volunteers to fill out our application form: https://coda.io/form/Application-form-Ukrainian-Refugee-School-in-Budapest-2025_d8BCUDjbuEQ

Work

PHASE ONE: PREPARATION During this phase, the festival is taking form, as we build it up from the ground, starting from the basics as tents and practical stuff, and finishing off with the small final details. Every year we come up with new ideas and plans, we need to decorate the whole area, and that includes building graffiti walls, painting signs, and placing items around the festival. There will of course be a lot of time in the beginning to get to know each other. We would really value it if volunteers can help us with other creative ideas. PHASE TWO: THE FESTIVAL This phase is the most stressful but also the most fun! In this phase of the festival, we invite all our beautiful guests to the festival we created in the last couple of days. There will be shifts for every volunteer in different locations, such as the entrance, festival area, cleaning toilets, and other jobs. There will of course be space for a lot of fun and just vibing. PHASE THREE: CLEANING This phase starts already Sunday morning when the guests begin to return home, as we pack everything down. This mostly takes us all of Sunday, so there will be time to pack up and say goodbye on Monday. FREETIME Since the camp is so short there will be no days off. The closer we get to the start of the festival there would be more to do. Working hours from Tuesday till Thursday will be from 10:00 in the morning till 20:00. Friday and Saturday there will only be a few shifts we have to cover, and the rest is time off, where you can meet Danish people and experience our festival.
