Travail
Volunteers will work with children (from 6 to 13 years old) in the summer camp of the village. For an amazing experience of exchange, they could talk about their countries and also teach the children typical songs or dances. There will also be some manual and maintenance work to be done on the playground or the church. Every week the volunteers will go to two retirement homes to present their countries. The volunteers will meet an association that runs a project of taking care of refugees, in this way they can really see how that emergency is managed in Italy. Some Carignano's families will host the volunteers for a dinner in the house to share culture and way of life.
Logement & nourriture
Volunteers will be hosted in a building with beds, communal bathrooms with 2 showers and hot water and a kitchen. Bedrooms are provided with 4 to 6 beds per room. The volunteers are responsible for the cleaning and cooking. Food is provided by the host organization. Volunteers must be equipped with a sleeping bag (or sheets), pillowcase and towels.
Emplacement & temps libre
The town of Carignano (8700 inhabitants) is situated on the left bank of the river Po approximately 20 Km from Torino and within the Regional Parco Fluviale (park of the river). Its center is of typical "piemontese" style, characterized by an ancient core with medieval archways and a baroque cathedral. The town's surroundings offer sites of architectural and naturalistic interest, it is also possible to reach Turin easily, as there are frequent coaches to the city. During the free time there are many exciting things to do such as visit the open market of Carignano and take part in some local events. On the weekends it will be possible for the group to organize a visit to Turin (there is a bus to and from Turin), visiting the Egyptian museum, the cinema museum, MAO museum of oriental art, the Holy Shroud etc. The costs of the FREE TIMES activities are not covered by the project.
