Think Green!
Legambiente Toscana APS
Legambiente Toscana Onlus
Firenze, Italy
Description
The project will involve a total of four volunteers for eight months and will take place in different places of Florence and in Tuscan countryside. All activities of the project will be related to environmental issues, rural development and active participation in the community at local, national and European level. In particular, volunteers will take part in two different contexts: one is the office of Legambiente in Florence and the correlated activities in the city (campaigns, events, EVS promotion); another one is the rural context of Tuscany countryside (parks and protected areas managed by Legambiente). The EVS team will contribute to preserve nature and environment through an ecological and sustainable approach and will promote a dialogue and a cultural exchange within our community. The idea of this project is to educate volunteers to be able to transmit eco-friendly lifestyle, discovered during the EVS project.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will live all together in an apartment in Florence, fully expensed. Besides this, each of them will receive monthly food money, pocket money and transport. Also travel costs will be refunded. Furthermore, for each activity, the Organization will provide the suitable equipment, if necessary.
Training during the activity
Legambiente Toscana will organize training and seminars about environmental issues (pollution, marine litter, reuse and recycling, parks and protected areas, fauna ecc). The volunteers will also receive a specific formation before every activity in which they will partecipate and will take part to meetings about italian language and culture. Volunteers will be formed to use their knowledge and personal skills to reinforce the ability in team working. Volunteers will also have the possibility to develop their own project and their ideas in order to improve their skills and competences.
