	Location: For the 5th year Verona will host international volunteers during the entire year. Verona is a very famous 
	city (do you remember Romeo & Juliet by Shakespeare???) in the North East of Italy; it is a very tourist place 
	with a long history and culture; rich of historical monuments, first of all the famous arena (the ancient roman 
	theatre). Even it is a great example of fortified town, in fact the walls and the surrounding area is going to become 
	a national park. Unfortunately some parts of the area are still damaged and abandoned. 
	In the Voluntary Centre of Legambiente Verona, volunteers participate in two different projects. Both projects are 
	similar: the common goal being the protection of the environment, and in particular of the two most important 
	Urban Parks in Verona.
	Read both projects carefully, and express in the motivation letter your preference, keeping in mind that volunteers 
	from both projects will be in continuous contact. The local group will consider the volunteer's choice and decide the 
	place to stay according to the preference of the volunteer and the needs of each project.
	
	I. Park of the Walls
	Description of the activities
	The working time will be: 30 hours a week
	Verona is an exceptionally beautiful example of fortified towns. You can see evolution of a tradition through 
	centuries. Verona's Walls are a complex set of different types of architecture. All this area is slowly becoming a 
	Park. Unfortunately most part of it is just a huge relict, damaged and abandoned. In this area Legambiente is 
	deeply involved in action of restoration and re-evaluation of a great green space. The aim is to turn into a park the 
	area comprehended among four bastions of ‘800 and remains of walls of ‘500. A great part of the work is done, but
	 the park still needs maintenance and continuous actions to improve it and obtain the final result of a beautiful 
	recovered green jewel. Volunteers will be involved (along EVS volunteers) in custody of the Park (opening and 
	closing gates), gardening, cleaning, construction, etc. They will collaborate with the local group of Legambiente in 
	activities of the Association (like guiding tourists through the town, among others, of course in collaboration with 
	guides of the Association). Sometimes, these four bastions host drug addicts, prostitutes or homeless people who 
	find place to stay for some hours. It’s not dangerous, and you will not work alone. There is a technician responsible
	 for the maintenance of the Park and another person responsible for volunteers and their integration in the project 
	and in the town. 
	Activities vary from season to season, due to the fact that the park has different needs as the weather changes 
	(for example, cutting the grass in spring, watering the plants in the summer, gathering leaves during autumn, 
	cutting wood during winter, ecc); and also due to the fact that the association is involved in different kinds of 
	projects during the year.
	
	Accommodation
	You will be hosted in a house inside the Park “Raggio di Sole”, with other international volunteers, EVS volunteers 
	and the workcamp leader. (5 volunteers+EVS+leader).
	The house is very close to the centre of town and it has two bedrooms (9 beds in total), two bathrooms, kitchen, 
	big living room, open air area when. The cooking and cleaning in the house is shared in turns among all the 
	volunteers.
	Language of the project
	Volunteers are expected to speak a little bit of a latin language (French, Spanish or Italian) to make  communication
	 with locals a lot easier. English is also important for the communication between volunteers. There is a possibility 
	for the volunteers to assist to Italian lessons (not during the summer camps).
	
	II. Villa Buri
	Description of the activities
	The working time will be: 30 hours a week
	Villa Buri is situated at the centre of the Adige river’s bend and it’s a monumental palace, with a chapel, some 
	cottages and a majestic landscape-garden, 30ha large, where a large part of it is planted with ancient and precious 
	trees. In September 2001 the management of the villa was given to a no-profit group of associations which have 
	created a project to use and renovate the structure.
	The main goal of this project is to affirm a culture of peace, to research a bearable  and solid economy, and a right
	 relationship with the environment. To make it possible  it is necessary to suggest concrete and visible stimulus, 
	symbolical but clear in order to develop all together a cultural articulated and qualified activity related to peace, 
	environment and an economy of justice. In the planned activities there are some educational and formative ones: 
	meetings, expositions, training courses, the opening of the park, parties, manifestations, events where the 
	international volunteers can take part. The final goal is to restore a part of the park inside four bastions of the XIX 
	cent. And remains walls from XVI cent.
	Volunteers will work on the custody of the park (opening and closing the gates), gardening  (taking care of the 
	botanical garden), cleaning, making guest passes, etc. all of which coordinated by a responsible. They will also 
	collaborate with the local group of Legambiente in other activities.
	In June 2006 Legambiente Verona achieved to obtain the direct consession of a municipal park near Villa Buri, 
	called Bosco Buri (Buri's Woods). The volunteers will also be involved in the gardening and cleaning of this part of 
	the park
	Accomodation
	You will be hosted in a house inside the Park “Villa Buri” (3 volunteers).
	The house, even if distant from Verona's Centre, is very close to the main square of one of the most folkloristic 
	neighbourhoods in town. It is also a place that facilitates the contact with the local community and with the various 

	Network	Country	Camp code	Type	Date start	Date finish	Age limit
	realities that surround the outskirts of the city. It has one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen, a little dining room 
	and a garden(3 beds in all). The cooking and cleaning in the house is divided by turns between all the volunteers.

	Activities vary from season to season, due to the fact that the park has different needs as the weather changes 
	(for example, cutting the grass in spring, watering the plants in the summer, gathering leaves during autumn, 
	cutting wood during winter, ecc); and also due to the fact that the association is involved in different kinds of 
	projects during the year.
	
	Accommodation
	You will be hosted in a house inside the Park “Raggio di Sole”, with other international volunteers, EVS volunteers 
	and the workcamp leader. (5 volunteers+EVS+leader).
	The house is very close to the centre of town and it has two bedrooms (9 beds in total), two bathrooms, kitchen, 
	big living room, open air area when. The cooking and cleaning in the house is shared in turns among all the 
	volunteers.
	Language of the project
	Volunteers are expected to speak a little bit of a latin language (French, Spanish or Italian) to make  communication
	 with locals a lot easier. English is also important for the communication between volunteers. There is a possibility 
	for the volunteers to assist to Italian lessons (not during the summer camps).
	
	II. Villa Buri
	Description of the activities
	The working time will be: 30 hours a week
	Villa Buri is situated at the centre of the Adige river’s bend and it’s a monumental palace, with a chapel, some 
	cottages and a majestic landscape-garden, 30ha large, where a large part of it is planted with ancient and precious 
	trees. In September 2001 the management of the villa was given to a no-profit group of associations which have 
	created a project to use and renovate the structure.
	The main goal of this project is to affirm a culture of peace, to research a bearable  and solid economy, and a right
	 relationship with the environment. To make it possible  it is necessary to suggest concrete and visible stimulus, 
	symbolical but clear in order to develop all together a cultural articulated and qualified activity related to peace, 
	environment and an economy of justice. In the planned activities there are some educational and formative ones: 
	meetings, expositions, training courses, the opening of the park, parties, manifestations, events where the 
	international volunteers can take part. The final goal is to restore a part of the park inside four bastions of the XIX 
	cent. And remains walls from XVI cent.
	Volunteers will work on the custody of the park (opening and closing the gates), gardening  (taking care of the 
	botanical garden), cleaning, making guest passes, etc. all of which coordinated by a responsible. They will also 
	collaborate with the local group of Legambiente in other activities.
	In June 2006 Legambiente Verona achieved to obtain the direct consession of a municipal park near Villa Buri, 
	called Bosco Buri (Buri's Woods). The volunteers will also be involved in the gardening and cleaning of this part of 
	the park
	Accomodation
	You will be hosted in a house inside the Park “Villa Buri” (3 volunteers).
	The house, even if distant from Verona's Centre, is very close to the main square of one of the most folkloristic 
	neighbourhoods in town. It is also a place that facilitates the contact with the local community and with the various

	LegMTV14 Verona (Vr)   Veneto    01/06 - 30/08    Envi    7
	
	Location: For the 5th year Verona will host international volunteers during the entire year. Verona is a very famous 
	city (do you remember Romeo & Juliet by Shakespeare???) in the North East of Italy; it is a very tourist place 
	with a long history and culture; rich of historical monuments, first of all the famous arena (the ancient roman 
	theatre). Even it is a great example of fortified town, in fact the walls and the surrounding area is going to become 
	a national park. Unfortunately some parts of the area are still damaged and abandoned. 
	In the Voluntary Centre of Legambiente Verona, volunteers participate in two different projects. Both projects are 
	similar: the common goal being the protection of the environment, and in particular of the two most important 
	Urban Parks in Verona.
	Read both projects carefully, and express in the motivation letter your preference, keeping in mind that volunteers 
	from both projects will be in continuous contact. The local group will consider the volunteer's choice and decide the 
	place to stay according to the preference of the volunteer and the needs of each project.
	
	I. Park of the Walls
	Description of the activities
	The working time will be: 30 hours a week
	Verona is an exceptionally beautiful example of fortified towns. You can see evolution of a tradition through 
	centuries. Verona's Walls are a complex set of different types of architecture. All this area is slowly becoming a 
	Park. Unfortunately most part of it is just a huge relict, damaged and abandoned. In this area Legambiente is 
	deeply involved in action of restoration and re-evaluation of a great green space. The aim is to turn into a park the 
	area comprehended among four bastions of ‘800 and remains of walls of ‘500. A great part of the work is done, but
	 the park still needs maintenance and continuous actions to improve it and obtain the final result of a beautiful 
	recovered green jewel. Volunteers will be involved (along EVS volunteers) in custody of the Park (opening and 
	closing gates), gardening, cleaning, construction, etc. They will collaborate with the local group of Legambiente in 
	activities of the Association (like guiding tourists through the town, among others, of course in collaboration with 
	guides of the Association). Sometimes, these four bastions host drug addicts, prostitutes or homeless people who 
	find place to stay for some hours. It’s not dangerous, and you will not work alone. There is a technician responsible
	 for the maintenance of the Park and another person responsible for volunteers and their integration in the project 
	and in the town. 
	Activities vary from season to season, due to the fact that the park has different needs as the weather changes 
	(for example, cutting the grass in spring, watering the plants in the summer, gathering leaves during autumn, 
	cutting wood during winter, ecc); and also due to the fact that the association is involved in different kinds of 
	projects during the year.

	Project: 
	Foreste da Vivere, an initiative promoted by Assessorato all'Agricoltura della Regione Lombardia (Council of 
	Region Lombardy for Agriculture) and organised by ERSAF (Regional Authority for Agricultural and Forest 
	Services), promotes the 23.000 hectars of Forests of Lombardia through sport and cultural events, excursions and
	 many other initiatives. ERSAF has the function of organising technical and promotional activities for the 
	development of agriculture and forest sectors, for the protection of the rural territory, for partnership and 
	integration policies in the management and planning of agriculture, forest and local alimentary products.
	Masino Valley, located in the Valtellina area, is well known for the thermal water spring of “Bagni”, and entirely 
	surrounded by woods. Besides the thermal baths, mountainous landscapes, pasture lands and woods, Masino 
	Valley is also important for being part of the regional Park of Bernina, Disgrazia, Val Masino e Val Codera , and it is
	 already in the European list of the Community Important Sites. ERSAF is active on the territory with many 
	projects, as protection and valorisation of biodiversity of endangered habitats. Legambiente promotes the project in
	 collaboration with ERSAF, working with the program Foreste da Vivere, which aims to develop educational and 
	informative activities, turned to the local community and the numerous hikers visiting the surrounding valleys. 
	After a period of training in the Permanent Centre for Volunteers and Environmental Education of Legambiente 
	Lecco in Campsirago, the volunteers will take care of the Visitors Centre in Bagni di Masino, organising activities of
	 promotion of environmentally friendly practices addressed to tourists, didactic and informative activities 
	concerning the respect of nature and the projects and initiatives of ERSAF and Legambiente, animation and 
	environmental education for kids and works of ordinary maintenance of natural areas. During the period of the 
	project other voluntary activities will be organised and hosted in the same building (not all at the same time): 
	international Mid Term Volunteers for the whole summer period, a workcamp for under 18 volunteers, 4 weeks of 
	environmental holidays for kids (from 8 to 13 years old), a workcamp for families. The MTV volunteers will 
	collaborate in the activities proposed to the other volunteers, making interventions of environmental maintenance 
	to ameliorate footpaths and grasslands, helping in the preparation of small exhibits, supporting as animators the 
	leaders of the camps. The working language for participants will mainly be Italian, due to the nature of the project.
	Work: education activities and maintenance of natural areas
	Accommodation: ERSAF’ Guesthouse
	Location: Bagni di Masino, Sondrio district, Lombardia region, North of Italy

	Introduction
	Legambiente is running since 1999 the ex-Convent San Giorgio, a Volunteering Permanent Centre that has been 
	hosting hundreds of volunteers in different occasions (national and international work-camps, European 
	Volunteering Service,…). The Convent is located in the region of Abruzzo, centre of Italy, about 150 km away from
	 Rome. It has been fully restored by the local institution Mountain Community and we furnished it following as 
	much as possible “static free” standards. The project aims to bring new economic, tourism and especially cultural 
	and spiritual movements in a quite isolated area. It deals with sustainable living, no waste, recycling and clever use
	 of energies. 
	
	The Project
	As every year, from January until June, Legambiente proposes to spend some days at the ex Convento San 
	Giorgio: a good chance to meet people from all over the world, to know a bit of Italian culture, getting in touch with 
	permaculture and sustainable living; all this staying in a Convent of the XVII° century.  Tasks of the participants 
	change according to the period of the year, the season and the weather, but can be summarized in:
	•	maintenance of  the structure (cleaning the Convent, painting walls, restoring windows,...)
	•	feeding the animals (chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, donkeys)
	•	working in the garden
	•	cleaning path around the Convent in the wonderful Regional Park of Sirente-Velino.
	You will be sharing rooms inside the Convent.

	Description: Boscoincittà (literally “Wood-in-town”) and Parco delle Cave (Pits/Mines Park) are two urban parks, 
	within the borders of Parco Agricolo Sud Milano (Southern Rural Park of Milan), one of the 22 regional parks in 
	Lombardia. They're located in the western outskirts of Milan, near to the hippodrome and to San Siro football 
	stadium, and extend over 240 hectares, characterized by a lot of paths for pedestrians and bicycles. There are

	There are also a lot of meadows, woods, rivers, gardens, leisure and sport areas, an agricoltural area and ancient 
	farms. The volunteers will be hosted in the Park by CFU (Urban Forestation Centre) and they will work, during part

	maintenance and cleaning of the ditches and gutters used to irrigate the green areas. Volunteers will provided with 
	bicycles to move around: so, it's necessary to know how to ride a bicycle!

	Agape international ecumenical centre is a place of encounter where you can live an intense experience of 
	community in beautiful natural surroundings. Agape was and still is an important point of reference in Italian 
	Protestantism, for 50 years a place of education and development, theological exploration, political engagement, of
	 acceptance and validation of differences. Every year many people, with different religious, cultural, political 
	background, and of different age, come to Agape to discuss and to be challenged, to get to know themselves and 
	each other and to exchange experiences around a particular theme.
	Agape was built after the Second World War as a sign of hope and of reconciliation between people, thanks to the 
	voluntary work of many young men and women; a resident group still lives at Agape throughout the year. The 
	dimensions of community and voluntary service remain central.
	The work camp will support the summer activities of AGAPE when a number of guests have meetings on issues of
	 political, social, cultural and religious interest. This camp will support the children's and teenagers' summer 
	activities.  Volunteers will help in the following areas: kitchen, meal service (tables and dishes), cleaning, 
	maintenance, bartending, child-minding. Games, discussions and outings are organised during free time. 
	Programmed activities are also open to volunteers, as long as these do not clash with work commitments. The 
	place is beautiful but really isolated, though you will stay together with many international participants to the 
	meetings of AGAPE. TERMINAL Torino.

	homosexuality and faith and women/gender issues.  Volunteers will help in the following areas: kitchen, meal 
	service (tables and dishes), cleaning, maintenance, bartending, child-minding. Games, discussions and outings are 
	organised during free time. Programmed activities are also open to volunteers, as long as these do not clash with 
	work commitments. The place is beautiful but really isolated, though you will stay together with many international 
	participants to the meetings of AGAPE. TERMINAL Torino.
