Description
I'm a member of an Italian association funded by young volunteers who met each other in 2009 after the terrible earthquake of L’Aquila where they went to provide their services to the people in the tent camps. Since that experience, we have decided not to stop dedicating our time to other people’s needs, the closest and the furthest ones. As a support to the local community, we are active on many projects, we guarantee our joyful presence every week in the town’s old people’s home and organize cultural and awareness raising events. We are also taking care of a family house for children in Kosovo, through crowd funding, food collections and thanks to our visits every year for a period of time.
Moreover, each year the association organizes a fund raising event consisting of concerts, conferences, photographical exhibitions and much more. It is aimed at raising the interest of young people towards social commitment and a sustainable and aware way of life.
The 6th edition of the Festival will be from the 14th to the 16th of July, 2017.
Preparation and disassembly works will start on Monday, July 10 and will finish on Wednesday, July 19. The Festival will take place in a beautiful park, just outside the walls of the old city centre of Città di Castello (PG). You are more than welcome to join us in this amazing experience dedicated to friendship, solidarity, but also music, culture, reflection!Types of help and learning opportunities
