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.

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

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:
The camp is organised by lunaria in collaboration with Al di là del Fiume, a biodynamic farm located in the municipality of Marzabotto, in the Bolognese Apennines. The farm represents an active steward of the rural territory, committed to environmental protection, sustainable agricultural production, and the promotion of practices that respect natural rhythms and the landscape. For this reason, it is also home to the Biodistrict of the Bolognese Apennines. The farm is not only a place of work, but also a space for living, meeting, and experimentation, open to the local community and to cultural, educational, and social initiatives. Through biodynamic farming, hospitality, and the organization of events such as La Feccia Fest, the farm helps create connections between agriculture, culture, participation, and sustainability.
Description of work:
Before the festival, volunteers will support with daily farm work, learning sustainable practices and ecological land management. As the festival approaches, they will assist with setup and decoration, collaborating with the staff to prepare stages, communal areas, and creative spaces.
During the festival, volunteers will support hospitality and logistics, helping welcome visitors and artists, run information and refreshment points, and maintain shared spaces. They will also take part in cultural and intercultural activities, sharing their own traditions, joining workshops, and discussing sustainability, agriculture, and independent culture.
Volunteers will be involved in the activities for about 6 hours a day. There is a forecasted free day after the festival for volunteers to rest.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The workcamp is organized by Lunaria in collaboration with CampArt, an independent arts festival. CampArt Festival began as an artistic initiative launched by a group of students united by the aim of creating a shared space where creative expression and community life could coexist. From its very inception, the project has been conceived not merely as a cultural event, but as a collective experience in which art intertwines with nature and human relationships. CampArt takes place in the Madonie area in Sicily and was created to offer a free, self-managed cultural space.
The volunteer camp supports both the preparation and promotion of the CampArt Festival, responding to local needs for cultural initiatives that respect and enhance the surrounding territory.
The project aims to strengthen the relationship between the festival and the local communities of Petralia Soprana and Petralia Sottana, encouraging participation, intercultural exchange, and a shared sense of responsibility. Volunteers become part of a temporary community grounded in collaboration, sustainability, and collective experience. Through their involvement, they actively contribute to both the organization of the festival and the life of the community it generates. By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: 10. Reduced Inequalities – Reduce inequality within and among countries; 11. Sustainable Cities and Communities- Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable
Description of work:
Volunteers will be actively involved in preparing, maintaining, and restoring the spaces that host both the campsite and the CampArt Festival. Their tasks will include cleaning green areas, setting up and organizing communal spaces, and carrying out small maintenance activities such as repainting benches and improving public elements. These actions aim to make the spaces accessible, welcoming, and respectful of the surrounding environment. Volunteers will also support the promotion of the festival by distributing informational materials and engaging with the local community, encouraging participation and connection. At the end of the festival, they will help clean and restore all used areas, ensuring they are left in good condition. Work will take place for about six hours per day under the guidance of local coordinators, promoting teamwork, flexibility, and active participation

The local community involved includes the towns of Petralia Soprana and Petralia Sottana. These are vibrant and welcoming communities where tradition, social ties, and a sense of belonging are still central. The project fits into this context by creating a space for interaction among residents, volunteers, and artists, fostering cultural exchange and active participation. During their free time, volunteers can explore the trails of the Madonie Park, visit the historic villages of Petralia Soprana and Petralia Sottana, participate in spontaneous artistic and musical events, take part in group activities, and enjoy the surrounding nature.

Its core values of reconciliation and reconstruction continue to shape the center’s identity and activities. The center promotes communal living, volunteer work, and international cooperation, supported by a worldwide community of volunteers who actively contribute to its mission.
Description of work:
In Agape there will be more volunteer teams and a group of guests (around 100 people total). The teams, with different tasks, cooperate to provide a service to the guests: a Camp.
