Supporting the Kalabria Eco Fest

Description
Volunteers will take part in supporting the construction and setup of the festival area, one of the two main objectives of the Kalabria Eco project. Tasks will include site setup, kitchen and bar support, workshop and market areas, wellness area creation, parking and logistics management, infopoint, audio-visual technical support, and forest maintenance. Volunteers will be divided into groups on site, guided by activity leaders. Activities will take place in the morning and afternoon, with breaks agreed collectively.
The second objective is the co-creation of a community. Each day, recreational activities such as games, sports, and nature walks will be organized. Volunteers will be encouraged to propose activities to the group, fostering shared participation and actively contributing to community life.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will live surrounded by nature, in the woods of the “Parco Regionale delle Serre”. The area includes a chalet with indoor and outdoor kitchen, an upstairs sleeping space and a bathroom with a shower, as well as a stone and wood house with shared facilities (3 bathrooms and 4 showers). Accommodation is mainly in tents, as this is a camping-based experience, while a few chalet beds are reserved for special needs. Grocery shopping will be provided and meals will be prepared together on a rotation basis and will be mainly vegan.
