Every year, Lunaria involves around 1000 young volunteers in its programmes, including workcamps, youth exchanges, medium and long term volunteering. This is possible thanks to the collaboration with the organizations of the Alliance of the European Voluntary Service Organizations and to the Italian network coordinated by Lunaria, where local groups, associations, cooperatives and municipalities can plan and implement international voluntary services projects.
“We ask the international volunteers to commit themselves in the mission of the hosting projects, having an open mind, and arriving aware that the accommodation conditions may not be suitable for those looking for cheap and comfortable holidays. Every project is made by many factors, and we need from the volunteers a problem-solving approach.”
The workcamp is coordinated by an experienced volunteer, who is not the boss of the camp: we ask the camp-coordinators to ease the first days of the camp and to involve the volunteers in being responsible for the project, using consensus methodology. The camp-coordinator is not at all responsible for volunteers’ fun and the best camp has a camp-coordinator who slightly goes back to the status of normal volunteer…..So, prepare to take responsibilities!
Age limits:
- Teen projects 15-17, participation fee of 250€
- For adult camps, no participation fees
Common language used in the camps: English
Insurance: Lunaria provides insurance to all the volunteers
