LUNARIA ASSOCIAZIONE DI PROMOZIONE SOCIALE Associazione ALA - APS Volunteer opportunity: A1-LUNARESC02 Mountain Community Empowerment
The project will focus on restoring the mountain hut and its surroundings, preparing the place for the summer season and future projects. Participants will engage in hands-on tasks, contributing to the upkeep of the space. The project will involve volunteers in a variety of maintenance activities, from artistic and painting projects to wood collection and manual work, allowing room for creativity and responding to the immediate needs of the site. Volunteers will work for 7 hours a day, with two rest days during the project. Accommodation, food and transport arrangements Rifugio Cognolo is a charming mountain hut featuring three main areas: a fully equipped kitchen, a multipurpose room, and a covered patio. The hut is off the grid, with electricity provided by solar panels, and does not have Wi-Fi. Facilities include two bathrooms, one of which is an outdoor dry toilet, and solar-heated showers. The indoor spaces will be primarily used by staff for cooking and as shelter in case of rain, while volunteers will sleep in tents in the camping area surrounding the hut. Training during the activity - Participant profile The project takes place at 1000m, it is accessible by hiking and takes volunteers to immerse themselves in a dimension outside the usual. It requires a high sense of adaptation, the ability to disconnect from digital devices and an internet connection, desire to disconnect from everyday life to connect with a life more in relationship with the people one has around and nature. Be ready to become part of a local small community. Be open minded. Please note that, considering the season, it is essential to bring appropriate equipment, such as a thermal sleeping bag, to stay comfortable during colder nights. This project is supported by the European Solidarity Corps. Food and accommodation are covered by the European Union. Transportation costs will be refunded according to the distance band rules of the programme. No fees are required. The workcamps are open for volunteers coming from ESC programme countries.
