PARTENAIRE

Circo pace e bene is a cultural association that carries out activities of various types aimed at the most vulnerable people in the Milena area (children, people with disabilities, young people, the elderly, the unemployed, migrants). The organization mainly carries out artistic and cultural activities and realizes different projects to raise awareness in schools of all levels. The association was founded in 2015 in Milena, Sicily, by a group of local people with experience in volunteering and international mobility. The aim of the association is to encourage locals to be active in order to bring about the changes they want to see. The association represents a breakthrough for the locals and the territory where it is located, through their commitment and support. Its work contributes to the enrichment of the Sicilian culture and territory. The NGO runs a space called Magazzino in Milena, which is used to promote cultural events, festivals, active participation and advocacy.

Travail

The Robbe are small settlements in the countryside of Milena (CL), from which the present village has grown. At the end of the nineteenth century, the land was leased and, given the great distance from other towns and the difficulty of communication, the peasants built modest rural dwellings in the countryside, along the trazzere or near water sources. These were built in clusters called Robbe to not be isolated and to have access to drinking water. Volunteers will create photo-cultural installations (wooden totems to which they will attach photos and inscribe the name of the Robbe and local iconic features). Other activities related to the urban regeneration of the town of Milena will be carried out by volunteers. From July 11 to 13, they will also support the setup and logistics of a three-day rock music festival, preparing the outdoor area of the Magazzino Culturale and carrying out minor maintenance tasks. The initiative aims to engage the local community through art, music, and culture.

Logement & nourriture

Volunteers will live in an apartment and sleep in shared rooms with 3-4 beds, divided by gender. The volunteers, divided into groups and working in shifts, will take care of the management and cleaning of the house and the Magazzino, and they will prepare meals in a common kitchen. All meals will be prepared and eaten in a common room in the Magazzino.

Emplacement & temps libre

Milena is a small village in the province of Caltanissetta. The village is located in a rural mountainous context at 423 m above sea level. Like most remote Sicilian villages, it is served by a limited number of public transport services, so the organization of free time could be limited to visiting nearby places or organizing excursions out of town.
