Descrizione
The Solidarity Summer Camp builds on the long-standing local initiative “Giving a Day of My Summer to the Forest”, active since 2007 focusung on protecting the forests around Mount Olympus. Running from June to September, the project contributes to forest fire prevention through daily observation shifts at a dedicated watchtower, operated by trained volunteers in close cooperation with local fire brigades. Participants monitor the surrounding forest using binoculars and clear procedures, supporting early detection and rapid response to potential fire risks. Over the years, the initiative has significantly reduced fire danger and strengthened environmental awareness within the local community. The project invites young people from across Europe to actively engage in community life. Alongside fire observation duties, participants are participants are involved in solidarity and social actions, facility maintenance, and support of community events. Funded by the SNJ Luxembourg.
