Descripción
Olive Christmas Tree is a short-term ESC volunteering project blending environmental tradition and holiday community spirit. During the first phase, volunteers participate directly in local olive harvesting, learning about Puglia's oil production. In the second phase, they join expert-led workshops to master creative crafting techniques. Using these new skills, volunteers will design and make handmade decorations to transform the "Agorateca" community space into an inclusive, welcoming Christmas atmosphere
