PARTENAIRE
“Overseas” is a non-profit association and NGO set up in Spilamberto (Modena) in 1971 to promote the global development of communities in non-European countries through voluntary work and international cooperation, support for local community organisations and groups, and long-distance solidarity for children and young people in need.
Overseas has always attached great importance to the assumption of lifestyles oriented towards moderation in consumption, solidarity 'without borders' and has made recovery and reuse practices the main way of seeking economic resources for the construction of its facilities.
The work camp takes place at the association's headquarter, which consists of a residential unit and a shed located in a large green area on the outskirts of the village.
Participants will stay in the Overseas House and carry out their service in the facilities and spaces used for the promotion of reusing and recycling and near the Natural Garden 3.0, cultivated according to permaculture methods by people with disabilities and the association “Insieme a noi tutti”.
The participants will have the opportunity to approach experiences that try to promote the culture of sustainability in the dimension of daily life: intercultural living together, moderation of consumption, taking care of the environment and of the community.
At the start of the camp the possible activities will be presented and together with the participants a working plan will be defined according to the attitudes, abilities and the wish to lean new things. Moments of exchange and confrontation about the experiences and the topics of the Agenda 2030 are also planned.
An integral part of the camp is respect for the environment, values, traditions and ways of living in the Overseas House in which other people reside and the association's activities are carried out. An extra dose of empathy, understanding and adaptability is required of everyone in order to experience multicultural dialogue!
