Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:

PARTNER: 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 area development.
PROJECT: 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, and 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

Description of work:

WORK: Participants will be mainly involved in cleaning and maintaining the high and medium mountain and agro-silver-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.

Description of location and leisure:

LOCATION AND LEISURE: 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 that counts on a reduced tourism flow. An atmosphere foreign to urban chaos where time seems to flow slowly, ideal for hiking surrounded by nature. Most local people do not speak English fluently.

The nearest airport: MXP in Milano (Milan),Italy
The nearest terminal (train-, bus-, taxi station): Bus station Cevo/Saviore dell'Adamello
Meeting Point and Time: Orio al Serio airport (Milan Bergamo), take the transfer to Brescia station. From here, take the Trenord Brescia-Iseo-Edolo railway line and get off at Cedegolo station. Trains from Brescia to Cedegolo leave approximately every two hours. From Cedegolo station in Cevo, take the direct bus 23a, which leaves from Piazza Roma (about 500 meters after the train station) and has Cevo/Saviore dell'Adamello as its destination.

Description of accommodation and food:

ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD: 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, a private bathroom, and a 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.

Description of specific requirements: This project is for all those who like spending time outdoors and hiking a lot - you will get out of your comfort zone and live a very dynamic, active, and intercultural experience for sure!

SUMMARY : Collaborate in the maintenance of the trails in the Lucanian Apennine National Park, helping to preserve and promote this magnificent landscape! #lunarcamp #hiking #workcamp #wearealliance

PARTNER : Fuorisentiero is an association for environmental study, protection, and research in the Basilicata region. The primary tools chosen for the enhancement of the area are trekking, and slow crossing, in various forms, to better enhance the exceptional nature of the places crossed, but also the care, maintenance, and promotion of mountain areas; fundamental, in this sense, is the activity of pathways and mapping, through which the territory is made more usable and it is possible to activate practices of permanent protection and preservation of the Lucanian landscape.

PROJECT : The workcamp is based on these objectives, in that it proposes a period of voluntary co- planning and implementation of a trail network in the Lucanian Apennine National Park, as well as a series of training moments on cartography and the outdoor world.
By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: SustainableCommunities-SDG11,SustainableConsuption&Production-SDG12, and LifeOnLand-SDG15

WORK : Georeferencing hiking trails in the park (2-3 people per group); securing and installing hiking signs; training sessions on cartography and the outdoors in general; management of the outdoor base camp. A working presence of 5 hours per day, 5 days per week is required. In the free time, it is possible to visit neighboring villages and/or go hiking and/or follow the other work on the site (donkey management, beekeeping, organic vegetable garden, chestnut grove).

LOCATION : Pignola is a small medieval mountain village nestled in the National Park. It is a few kilometers from Potenza, the most important city, and during the summer the village comes alive with numerous cultural events.

TERMINAL : Airports: Bari or Naples. Bus and train: Potenza Centrale.

ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD : The site is immersed in the Lucanian Apennine National Park, at an altitude of about 1100 m. in a wild chestnut grove. Accommodation is in 4-season tents of various sizes in the tree-lined square in front of the Association headquarters. There are two bathrooms and a shower.
