Londa Renewal

CODE: LUNAR15

Work:

The community of Londa has always been committed to the redevelopment and enhancement of the area. At a time when more and more young people are leaving small towns to move to the city, Londa is resilient and committed to remaining an attractive place, thanks in part to the presence of a recently redeveloped lake and the many festivals that enliven the area from June to September. The Londa Workcamp was born out of a desire to create encounters between diverse communities and promote an authentic exchange between villagers and volunteers. By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals: SustainableCommunities-SDG11
WORK: Volunteers will be engaged in various environmental redevelopment and sustainability activities contributing concretely to the care of the area; such us: the removal of stones along the banks of the lake, sanding and painting the benches placed in green areas, cleaning the water drainage ditches along the roads, support in organizing the village festival that will be held during the course of the workcamp. Some of the work can be carried out independently, after necessary instructions, while others will be carried out with the assistance and support of the municipal workers. Volunteers will work five days a week, averaging six hours a day. Saturdays and Sundays will be days off, during which it will be possible to participate in leisure activities. The tasks will be carried out entirely outdoors and in close contact with the local area.

Accomodation and food

Volunteers will stay in a portion of a farmhouse located in the hamlet of Caiano. The house consists of two bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower, a kitchen, a large living room, a terrace where dining is possible, and extensive outdoor green spaces. It is possible that the bedrooms will be mixed, depending on the number of males and females participating in the project. Volunteers will cook their own meals and the diet will be mainly vegetarian. The house is 3 km from the village but the municipality will provide a free bus to get to the village and places of work.

Location and leisure

Londa village is located 30 kilometers from Florence, slightly shifted from the main road axis, hidden in the mountains and crossed by two streams, lies the small town of Londa. After work and on their days off, volunteers will be able to go hiking, visit neighboring towns and, if they wish, even Florence

Project hosted by
