WORK : Volunteers will work on the creation of some carnival costumes for historical tradition of carnival in Carignano and we’ll create small cart for the parade and also to be exhibited at the festival called “Festa di mezza estate” in which volunteers will be part of the working team the last two nights in the second weekend of the workcamp. There will also be an activity in a protected area cutting bamboo to protect the endemic vegetation and use it for the carnival activities. For an amazing experience of exchange, they could talk about carnival traditions in their countries and also teach the volunteers typical songs or dances. The local team of volunteers will support the international ones for translation, but, don’t forget to be flexible in this. Every week the volunteers will go once to a retirement home to present their countries. Some of Carignano's families will host the volunteers for a dinner in their home to share their culture and way of life. Moreover, for the first week of the workcamp, some Italian volunteers could be involved from an association called AU.DI.DO (autonomy for disabled people) so be willing to work with people with disabilities.
