For this and to achieve a correct organization and distribution of all the work that has to be done to prepare the bench, we divided the volunteers into two groups. This distribution also allows us to rotate and that all the participants can go through various tasks during the volunteer camp and develop different artistic and manual skills, in relation to the two main lines of work: 1. The elaboration of sets, setting, preparation of scenarios, gadgets and artistic direc-tion for the festivals and activities that take place in the territory. 2. Scenography and theatre, theatrical performances and setting, street animation and transversal socio-cultural work with the social fabric of the region. During the days in which activities and festivals will take place in Anento, the team of volunteers will participate in street entertainment in which they will play roles inserted in the dynamics of the festival, the direction and dynamization of workshops for children and their visitors. If due to the COVID situation these activities cannot be carried out, an alternative program is developed with the continuity of the artistic materials workshop. The materials with which we will work will be mostly recycled, that is: newspaper, pal-lets (from surrounding factories), egg cups, reused fabrics and the cardboard rolls where they are stored. Others such as paints, supports, fabrics to make the costumes, glues, nets for decoration, ornamental elements, screws and tools will have to be purchased.

The hostel has a capacity for 85 beds distributed in 8 rooms (3,4,6,9,10,15,16 and 22 beds) with a private bathroom in each one.

Anento is a small village located at the south of Zaragoza. It belongs to the region of Da-roca and it is only 4km far from Teruel. It is situated in a valley crown by limestone which is established over clayey rocks which offer different colours depending on the seasons. When arriving, we can find the remains of the medieval castle and the Celtiberian tower on top of the village. Down this village, there is a garden which is watered by pure natural spring water called Aguallueve which is one of the most important symbols of the region. “Aguallueve” is a natu-ral spring which continuously drops water in movement, creating an amazing relief with walls made of stones, moss and little caves hidden inside of it. The village was mostly restored and it has wonderful and beautiful medieval streets with amazing corners where we can admire the village and its landscape. Its 12th century church is not unnoticed. Inside, we can find wall paintings and its big-gest altarpiece made in the 15th century. This is possibly the biggest gothic altarpiece and the best conserved one of the Crown of Aragon. All of the above-mentioned things, have contributed to make the decision that Anento would be named as “One of the most beautiful villages in Spain” in 2014. It was then when it started to be a part of this selected Association. Since then, Anento village is more and more visited and admired by tourists and vie-wers and its patrimonial, natural and touristic sustainability are some of the Town Council’s main concerns and priorities, in order to preserve its admired resources. During the volunteer camp we will develop some leisure activities such as: - Anento Sky - Chill Out - Scape Room - Walks and excursions - Cinema - Tradicional Games - Group Dynamics...
