Kuruluş
Our association works in an inland rural area of one of the smallest and unknown regions of the South of Italy: Basilicata.Genzano is a small village based on agricultural tradition, where youth either emigrate and do not return, or remain there but without many social activities. We have been putting many efforts to promote little local events and projects since 2003. Many changes happened and we are observing, after the pandemic, a return of the local youth community to public participation. As an organization we try to launch projects that enhance the sense of belonging and preserve the strong identity, promote social inclusion and participation. Still, we struggle to find opportunities to promote their stronger security as individuals part of the society. The volunteering activity remains far from the majority of them in most cases. So we thought that bringing such an international possibility, open up to people showing interest for our little community, and invest their time in a local project, could produce a cascade effect. Beside that, we wish this could be an opportunity for volunteers to get to know a part of Italy that really preserves its own identity and traditions, and has a great nature and history.APS Spazigiovani operates in the local context with cultural and social promotion activities. It is involved in the implementation of leisure activities for the local community: manual workshops, creative recycling, social gardening, cultural events, among other projects promoted over the years. The NGO has always been focused on the inclusion of people who are disadvantaged in some way or have different abilities. As such, we encourage their regular participation in the project activities we support.The project will certainly be carried out with the patronage and support of the Municipality and in collaboration with some other local associations with which we already work on a daily basis: sport activities, Folkloric Group, Pro-Traditions Committee, Band Complex, Social Cooperatives, among others.
İş Tanımı
Activities to restore and secure a path of historical-environmental-cultural interest around the historic city centre.After the promotion of a project for the revaluation of such a path called The Way of the Greeks , we would like to count on the support of volunteers for the cleaning and initial securing of such a path that already exists. The activities planned also include the design and production of information material and digital content for the creation of an app with QR reader, which will allow those who walk along the route to learn about the places.The activity will be run between 8.30 and 12.30 and from 16.30 to afternoon due to the high temperatures. Apart from that, volunteers will be free to carry out activities on their own or some activities proposed by the local host association. There will be a morning briefing to organise the day s activities, as well as an end of day debrief.
Konaklama ve Yemek
The accommodation will be organised in a community facility (sports hall or one of the school gyms) with access to toilets and showers. In such a facility there will be camping mats. Volunteers need to bring their own sleeping bags. If volunteers prefer to sleep outside these facilities, they have to bring their own tents. (tents are not provided). A camping kitchen is provided either in the accommodation or in a nearby location with tables to eat meals. NO INTERNET in the accommodation, however, the internet access is available at the Association office. Water is drinkable and some dispensers will be provided - therefore - it is recommended to have a refillable bottle.

Excursions are planned in the local area with local families who will host the volunteers for lunch and dinner, as well as language and cultural exchange evenings with the young people involved in the association.
