About
Our organization is based in the center of Trento, a beautiful town with a population of about 120,000 inhabitants. Trento is situated in the north of Italy, near the border with Austria, and is known for its beautiful countryside, with lovely mountains and lakes. It is an excellent opportunity for hiking, sailing, and mountain bikes trips.
During your stay in Trento, you will have the opportunity to see Feste Vigiliane in Trento, a typical Festival of our city that celebrates its patron saint San Vigilio. For one entire week, the roads and alleys transform into Medieval quarters in which ancient handicraft works are livened up and typical Trentino delicacies can be tasted. Games, music, entertainment and historical reviews every year again enthuse the audience in warm summer evenings.

Accommodation
The hosting structure is located in Baselga del Bondone, a beautiful suburb of Trento, situated up the hill and thus disposing of a beautiful panoramic view on the city of Trento and the mountains surrounding the city. This hosting structure is situated in a nice area, that has a small supermarket nearby, on a walking distance from the house where the participants are hosted. The structure is big and spacious: it has a big meeting room and a smaller one, a big spacious park outside, that we might be extensively using for the energizers and some of the other activities planned. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped with all the necessary tools to prepare the meals. The dining room can host over 30 people at the same time. The house disposes rooms for 2-4 people, each with a private bathroom. The Youth worker exchange will be organized as “self management”.
