Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The camp is organized by Lunaria in collaboration with Giovani Insieme. The association is composed of young people for young people founded in October 1998 in Carignano with the aim of protecting, promoting and enhancing artistic, historical and architectural heritage, nature and the environment, by proposing summer work camps for young volunteers from all over Europe.
Description of work:
Volunteers will work with children aged 6 to 13 (Italian-speaking) at the village summer camp from Monday to Friday. The camp will focus on the theme of peace in different countries, culminating in a presentation for the final show. The local volunteer team will provide translation support for the international volunteers, but flexibility is encouraged. To enrich the experience of cultural exchange, volunteers are invited to discuss topics such as peace and conflict in the history of their countries and to teach the children typical songs or dances from their own traditions.
Once a week, the volunteers will visit a retirement home to present their countries and share their cultures. An alternative activity will take place in a protected area, where volunteers will help cut bamboo to safeguard endemic vegetation.
Additionally, some families from Carignano will host volunteers for home dinners, offering a chance to experience local culture and daily life firsthand.
Description of location and leisure:
The town of Carignano, with a population of around 9,000, is situated in the countryside on the left bank of the Po River, approximately 20 km from Turin, within the River Regional Park. Its historic centre reflects a typical Piedmontese style, featuring a medieval core with archways and a baroque cathedral. The surrounding area is rich in both architectural and natural attractions.
In their free time, volunteers can enjoy a variety of activities, such as exploring Carignano’s open market or taking part in local events. On weekends, the group will have the opportunity to visit Turin, including highlights such as the Egyptian Museum, the Cinema Museum, the MAO Museum of Oriental Art, and the city’s beautiful Savoyard centre.
Please note that the costs of free-time activities are not covered by the project.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The camp is organised by Lunaria in collaboration with Forte Prenestino. CSOA Forte Prenestino is an occupied and self-managed social centre that has existed since 1986. Reclaimed from abandonment, it is a space for meeting, socialising, creativity and collective organisation, lived without institutional authorisation or political control. The Forte is self-managed through horizontal assemblies and the free association of people who share a common project and ethics. It experiments with alternative ways of living, organising work, time and decision-making, valuing equality, diversity and collective responsibility. Open to anyone who shares its values, the Forte is entirely self-financed through accessible contributions from cultural and musical initiatives, which support its daily activities, campaigns and mobilisations.
As part of a wider struggle for a different society, Forte Prenestino practices another form of sociality and economy. It is openly anti-fascist, anti-sexist, anti-racist and anti-prohibitionist, and remains a deliberately challenging space.
Description of work:
During the festival, the place is going to host hundreds of artists and thousands of spectators, so the international volunteers will be asked to join the local volunteers to manage the entire organisation of the event. An average of 6 to 7 hours per day is required, with working shifts organized on the event nights.
The volunteers' work is mainly going to involve: Logistic set up and support; Pub and restaurant tending during the festival; General cleaning during the evenings.
After the event, the volunteers will help take down the structures and clean the fortress. The work can be physically hard (and it will be very hot), but the environment will be funny and easy going. The motto is “Share, Work and Have Fun”. In a few words, volunteers should get ready to be active and to give their energy to the community working at the Forte Prenestino.
Roma, Latium
Description of location and leisure:
The camp takes place in Rome. The city is surrounded by sixteen military fortresses built during the second half of the 19th century to set up a defensive system. All these fortresses were partially used and then abandoned during the 20th century. Forte Prenestino is located in one of these fortresses, in a big working-class neighbourhood called Centocelle.
The 1st of may 1986 a mixed group of people, under the pressure of necessity decided to squat Forte Prenestino. Since, there was no cinema, place to make music or to meet each other, they made of this Fortress the perfect spot to exchange and to learn with and from each other.For the last 25 years, full of work, fun and political struggles, the center has become a place of cultural production, autonomously managed and economically independent. Every 1st of may, a huge festival celebrates the creation of Forte Prenestino.
Forte Prenestino organizes concerts and events like Crack!, as well as providing different services for the community such as a restaurant, two pubs, a tea room, a recording studio, a popular gym, and a theater.
During the workcamp there won’t be much free time to visit the city of Rome, for instance we suggest you to arrive or depart a few days before or after the camp.
Meeting Point and Time: Closest Airport: Rome Fiumicino FCO, Rome Ciampino CIA

Description of accommodation and food:
Please, take good note that the accommodation is really basic.
The volunteers are going to sleep inside Forte Prenestino in a shared dormitory, yet they will have to bring a sleeping bag. Hand in hand with your team-mates, you will have to clean and to prepare the dorm at your arrival. During the festival, volunteers can possibly be asked to sleep a few nights in tents.
Volunteers will have access to a private chemical portable toilet (those used in festival settings) for the entire duration of the workcamp. Showers are collective open air showers, so don’t forget your swimsuit!
Regarding the meals, the volunteers will have access to a private kitchen in their dormitory for breakfast and some of the meals. Most of the meal will be served in the Forte Prenestino restaurant, where volunteers will support the cooks during the festival days. Most of the meals will have vegan options.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
Casa del Parco Adamello is a multifunctional, community place where people can meet and discuss 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.
Description of 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 some agricultural companies in Valsaviore. The shifts will be 6 hours per day, for 5 days a week. We guarantee 1 rest days depending on the weather conditions.
Cevo, Lombardy
Description of location and leisure:
Cevo is a small mountain village of 800 inhabitants located inside the Adamello Regional Park, at an altitude of 1100 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.

There are several common areas, including reading rooms, a restaurant and a large outdoor garden, as well as free Wi-Fi and the possibility of using the washing machine once a week.
Due to the location of the facility in a closed valley, we cannot guarantee a fast internet connection. Meals will be served mainly in the hostel with a predominantly vegetarian menu, however variations may be made to meet different needs. When 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.

The Valle Sabbia Archaeological Museum is responsible for researching, promoting and disseminating information about the archaeology of the Valle Sabbia area and the western Lake Garda area. The project was created to support this institution in its activities and then move into the local area to collaborate on promotional initiatives. The Museum manages the excavation at Lucone di Polpenazze, a prehistoric pile dwelling that is part of the UNESCO site “Prehistoric Piledwellings around the Alps”.
Description of work:
The work involves studying materials found in the museum's excavations, with a particular focus on archaeozoological materials, such as the remains of domestic and wild animal bones found in archaeological layers. The materials must be washed and labelled before being studied by experts. The main work will consist of washing the animal remains and ceramic fragments found in the excavations with water and a brush, labelling them with a pen and cataloguing them. Volunteers will work for 7 hours a day.
Training sessions will be provided by archaeologists and archaeozoologists. During the workcamp there will also be a big celebration: the museum is turning 70, and volunteers will be involved in organising the festivities.
Gavardo, Lombardy
Description of location and leisure:
Gavardo is a town of 12.000 inhabitants in the province of Brescia, located in Valle Sabbia a few kilometres from Lake Garda. One of the most important towns in the valley, it combines history, culture and nature: it is home to the Valle Sabbia Archaeological Museum, which preserves artefacts from prehistoric times to the Roman era, and has a characteristic historic centre with churches and picturesque views along the Chiese River. Surrounded by hills and nature trails, Gavardo is also an ideal starting point for excursions, walks and outdoor activities between the valley and the lake.
During the camp, there will be several organised trips to explore the surrounding area.
In their free time, volunteers can reach Lake Garda and the towns of Salò, Gardone and Toscolano in just 15 minutes by bus. In just 40 minutes, you can also reach the city of Brescia, which is rich in museums and leisure activities.
