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.

工作 / 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.

住宿和食物 / ACCOMODATION AND FOOD

Volunteers will be hosted in an ancient building under restoration with beds, communal bathrooms with 2 showers and hot water and a kitchen. Bedrooms are provided with 4 to 6 beds per room. The volunteers are responsible for the cleaning and cooking, except for lunch during the working days, since they will eat pasta together with the kids of the summer camp. Food is provided by the host organization. Volunteers must be equipped with their own sleeping bag (or bed sheets), pillowcase and towels.

We promote not-for-profit projects, for the benefit of the local communities and to fight racism and increase intercultural exchanges.

“We ask to the international volunteers to commit themselves in the mission of the hosting projects, having an open mind, and arriving aware that the accommodation conditions may not be suitable for those looking for cheap and comfortable holidays. Every project is made by many factors, and we need from the volunteers a problem-solving approach.�
