Protect Our Beaches: Waves of Change

CODE: LEG04

Work:

Throughout the camp, beach surveillance and monitoring will be a core activity, aimed at discouraging littering and promoting respectful behavior among tourists. Volunteers will be present on the beaches to engage directly with visitors, offering guidance and gentle reminders on how to manage waste responsibly.
In parallel, environmental awareness initiatives will be carried out through the distribution of informative materials specifically designed for beachgoers, helping to explain the importance of waste reduction, recycling, and environmental protection in a clear and accessible way.
Another fundamental activity will be the clean-up of coastal areas, with particular attention paid to proper waste separation and recycling, in order to reduce pollution and protect the natural landscape.
Daily life during the camp will be organized collaboratively to encourage a sense of shared responsibility. Participants will take turns preparing meals, working in small teams, and each group will also be in charge of maintaining the common areas of the accommodation, ensuring they are kept clean and orderly, especially after meals.

To convey its values, Legambiente Lecco Onlus participates every year in Legambiente's national campaigns, such as Goletta dei Laghi (Lake Schooner) and Carovana dei Ghiacciai (Glacier Caravan). The association also manages an Eco-Hostel on the top of Monte Barro working with international volunteers; it runs a Piedibus project for the city of Lecco, organizes European projects and international and national volunteer camps, carries out environmental education activities in schools, offers summer camps for children, teenagers, and seniors, and provides training courses, workshops, and sustainability experiences. In particular, in the municipality of Valbrona, a little town bordering Oliveto Lario, Legambiente Lecco runs an amphibian rescue campaign every spring, specifically for the common toad Bufo Bufo, involving hundreds of local volunteers.
