Il Borghetto

CODE: LUNARTEEN10

Work:

The workcamp aims to make the space of the future youth centre functional and carry out basic refurbishment. The planned work (approx. 6 hours/day, in 2 shifts of 3 hours each), inspired by the principles of green architecture, is aimed at achieving concrete results and constitutes a preparatory phase for the permanent opening of the youth centre.
The programme is divided in two weeks: During the first week volunteers will get to know each other and the local community, starting the set up work of the future youth centre. In the second week, the work focuses on creating an eco-friendly sound installation from the material removed during the set up. Focus sessions of improvisation and ensemble music are integrated to provide creative support for the intervention. The camp concludes with a final evaluation and a public event showcasing the work carried out by the volunteers.

Accomodation and food

Volunteers will sleep in the local community private flats, together with a responsible person of the host organisation. Each flat can host 3-4 people and is equipped with a bathroom and essential appliances (fridge, washing machine).
Volunteers will eat lunch and dinner together in a camp kitchen. Each meal will be prepared by a professional chef considering personal diets and any food intolerances, while for breakfast they will eat autonomously in their apartments, which will be stocked periodically by our staff based on the requests of each household.

Location and leisure

The camp takes place in Pastene, a village of about 650 inhabitants on the hills of the Sabato river valley, surrounded by woods and olive groves. The small community is close-knit and welcoming.
Volunteers will have the chance to take walks through the local woods, explore the other villages within the municipality of Sant’Angelo a Cupolo, and go swimming in the nearby river. During free days, trips will also be organized to Benevento and to Naples.

Project hosted by

The camp is organised by Lunaria in collaboration with Immaginaria. Cooperativa Sociale Immaginaria is a non-profit social enterprise whose mission is to create programmes of inclusive arts and creative animation with young people and members of disadvantaged groups living in non-urban areas of southern Italy.
