Mapping Rural Heritage

Associazione InformaGiovani

Milena, Italy

Activity description

Volunteers will map the “Robbe” area by walking around and taking photographs to create at the end a creative map of the area. Other activities related to the urban regeneration of the town of Milena will be carried out by volunteers. The “Robbe” are small settlements in the countryside of Milena (CL), from which the present village has grown. At the end of the nineteenth century, the land was leased and, given the great distance from other towns and the difficulty of communication, the peasants built modest rural dwellings in the countryside, along the trazzere or near water sources. These were built in clusters called “Robbe” to not be isolated and to have access to drinking water.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Accommodation. Volunteers will be hosted in apartment with shared rooms. The apartment is equipped with all needed and utilities (water, electricity). Wi-fi is available in the organisation office. Food: provided by the host organisation and cooked by volunteers. Volunteers will take care of the management of the space, preparing food and cleaning.
