PARTNER : Hermete is a social cooperative that has organized several workcamps in the territory over the years. Hermete promotes community development through an approach that values entrepreneurship, inclusiveness and the creation of educating communities. It also favors a network approach aware of the value of cooperation, with a mission oriented towards the socio-educational and cultural development of the territory. There is a special focus on children, adolescents and young people, but always thought as a part of a wider local community, within which public and private institutions interact.
PROJECT : This is the first project organized by the department of the youth policies of the Municipality of Negrar di Valpolicella. In the last years the department has been increasing its presence in the territory, supporting and working especially with young people. In particular, last year it helped and supported the organization of the folk festival of the village, in Italian called “Sagra”. The goal of this year is to organize a second edition of the “Sagra di Arbizzano'' but making it more participative, involving more young people, local associations and hence stimulating the sense of community, creating also space for intercultural exchange. Through this camp we hope that we can create this great space for mutual help, cultural exchange, learning and also have a lot of fun together. The workcamp is organized together with Hermete, a social cooperative that has organized several workcamps in the territory over the years. By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: Sustainable Communities-SDG11.
