Progetto
Dal 2017 Legambiente e Diversamente Marinai sono impegnati nella campagna “Vele Spiegate”. In questo contesto Diversamente Marinai propone campi di volontariato in barca a vela di una settimana nell'Arcipelago Toscano. Il progetto prevede la pulizia delle spiagge poco accessibili via terra, il monitoraggio dei rifiuti, l’avvistamento dei cetacei, il monitoraggio e il controllo delle tracce delle tartarughe marine Caretta Caretta, inoltre andremo alla scoperta dei sentieri che incontreremo nelle insenature dove ci fermeremo e mapperemo quelli che non sono presenti sulle carte. Il progetto mira alla conoscenza del mare attraverso la navigazione e alla creazione di team affiatati e motivati. Per questo i partecipanti impareranno la marineria e a farsi equipaggio a bordo. Inoltre, saranno formati sulle principali linee guida in termini di sostenibilità ambientale della fruizione del mare. Non ci può essere vera salvaguardia dell’ambiente senza saper apprezzare il paesaggio naturale. Il campo di lavoro vuole realizzare interventi concreti per migliorare la qualità ambientale mostrando all'equipaggio come vivere sul mare e con il mare sia un’esperienza indimenticabile. Le attività del campo sono arricchite dalla pratica quotidiana della riduzione degli sprechi che la vita di bordo comporta e dalla possibilità di spostarsi utilizzando prevalentemente il vento. Vele Spiegate è un progetto inserito nella Carta Europea del Turismo Sostenibile del Parco Nazionale Arcipelago Toscano per il periodo 2021-2025.
Lavoro
Didattica della vela e la vita di bordo: L’attività prevede un corso di primo livello di navigazione a vela e conduzione di un’imbarcazione storica, attraverso la sperimentazione diretta delle nozioni acquisite.
Pulizia e monitoraggio delle spiagge accessibili solo dal mare: Il progetto prevede la pulizia di alcune spiagge difficilmente accessibili via terra, attraverso la rimozione dei rifiuti. In tale occasione saranno anche monitorati i rifiuti attraverso la tecnica del Beach litter riportando dati e riflessioni su appositi moduli, fornendo dati che saranno utilizzati per scopi scientifici.
Avvistamento cetacei: l’attività prevede la ricerca e il monitoraggio di delfini e balene che vivono nelle acque dell’Arcipelago durante gli spostamenti giornalieri che compiremo con la nostra imbarcazione.
Ricerca e monitoraggio delle tracce della tartaruga Caretta caretta: i partecipanti impareranno a riconoscere le tracce della tartaruga e saranno impegnati anche nella ricerca delle stesse e nella sensibilizzazione di cittadini e turisti.
Mappatura sentieri: saranno monitorati ed eventualmente mappati quei sentieri che collegano le principali vie sentieristiche dell’isola alle spiagge e insenature, raggiungibili prevalentemente a piedi, e presso le quali faremo sosta con la nostra imbarcazione
Luogo
l'Arcipelago toscano è formato da un gruppo di sette isole maggiori, di cui la più grande è l'isola d'Elba, più alcune minori, secche e scogli situati tra la terraferma toscana e la Corsica. L'arcipelago è bagnato da quattro mari: il mar Ligure a nord dell'isola d'Elba, il canale di Piombino a est, il mar Tirreno a sud e il canale di Corsica a ovest delle coste elbane. Il canale di Corsica e il canale di Piombino possono essere considerati come canali naturali di collegamento tra il mar Ligure e il mar Tirreno, rispettivamente a ovest e ad est dell'isola d'Elba.

Progetto
l campo di Swimtrekking-Costa degli Etruschi prevede l’attività del nuoto esplorativo lungo le meravigliose coste della Riserva Naturale di Calafuria. I campi Swimtrekking si pongono l’obiettivo di proporre un’attività in mare che, attraverso l’escursionismo e l’esplorazione, consenta ai partecipanti di maturare un’esperienza autentica in cui confrontarsi sulle tematiche della tutela e della salvaguardia dell’ambiente marino, anche e soprattutto attraverso la conoscenza della flora e della fauna. Gli esploratori a nuoto saranno impegnati nel monitoraggio delle zone costiere e dei fondali marini. I responsabili dell’associazione, nelle vesti di istruttori e guide qualificate, trasmetteranno le indagini effettuate sul campo ai siti web di riferimento e agli enti addetti a tale supervisione. Ad esempio, i partecipanti alimenteranno il famoso sistema di monitoraggio Meteomeduse, in cui si riporteranno le osservazioni sulla presenza, l’abbondanza, e l’identità specifica delle meduse rilevate durante le escursioni in mare. Le indicazioni contribuiscono tuttora ad arricchire un database utile per lo sviluppo di un modello statistico per la previsione della proliferazione di meduse nei mari italiani. Altro lavoro importante dei partecipanti sarà quello di recuperare in acqua, durante l’attività natatoria, materiali di rifiuto trasportabili ed effettuare la pulizia delle spiagge con relativa catalogazione (marine e beach litter), nei punti di sosta previsti durante l’attività.
Lavoro
I volontari rimuoveranno i rifiuti dai fondali e da tratti di costa e li trasporteranno a riva. Al termine delle attività in acqua si progetteranno e realizzeranno delle opere artistiche, utilizzando solo i materiali recuperati dal mare e dalle coste. Ispirandosi al progetto Waste-land dell’artista brasiliano Vik Muniz, i rifiuti saranno assemblati per riprodurre una o più foto fatte dai volontari che rappresentino il campo. La riproduzione sarà poi fotografata dall’alto. Le opere verranno poi distrutte e smaltite e, ove possibile, differenziate. I volontari si occuperanno inoltre dell’attività di Marine and beach litter indagando sulla quantità e tipologia di rifiuti raccolti sulle spiagge raggiunte durante il campo al fine di contribuire alla Direttiva europea sulla Marine Strategy. Tutte le attività del campo, il lavoro in mare e il lavoro artistico saranno documentate con una macchina fotografica compatta scafandrata messa a disposizione dall’organizzazione insieme a un computer. A fine campo sarà realizzato un video con tutti i contenuti delle attività svolte e consegnato ai partecipanti (se muniti di penna USB). Altro aspetto fondamentale del campo sarà il censimento di specie marine e in particolare delle meduse. Il Consorzio Nazionale Interuniversitario (CONISMA), proseguirà infatti la collaborazione con Swimtrekking per un progetto di Scienze dei Cittadini (Citizen Science) estendendo per il 2023 la raccolta di informazioni su ogni avvistamento di meduse, specie non-indigene diurne che vivono nei primi 5-10 m di profondità, e sulla spazzatura marina.
Luogo
La Riserva Naturale di Calafuria è situata a pochi chilometri da Livorno e comprende uno splendido promontorio di macchia mediterránea che arriva fino al mare. Interessata dalla presenza di rovine archeologiche, prevalentemente di época etrusca – anche se sono stati scoperti ritrovamenti a partire dal Paleolitico – quest’area presenta una costa eccezionale, meta di molti nuotatori, subacquei e apneisti. La costa di Calafuria, bagnata da un mare trasparente e cristallino, presenta alte falesie in alternanza a suggestive calette e spiagge selvagge che saranno raggiunte a nuoto durante le attività di Swimtrekking. Da ricordare, la presenza in acqua del “corallum rubrum” che indica il buono stato di salute di questo tratto di mare. Inoltre, la presenza di diverse torri, castelli - come il Castello del Boccale- e terrazze che affacciano sul mare dalle alte scogliere rendono il paesaggio un unicum in Italia.
Attività formative
I volontari, adeguatamente formati per l’osservazione delle meduse, avranno il compito di censire, catalogare e studiare i comportamenti delle meduse incontrate durante le attività di esplorazione in mare lungo le coste. I volontari seguiranno inoltre le direttive tema del progetto marine and beach litter per la conservazione dell'ambiente naturalistico.
Alloggio
Il Miramare Village Camping affaccia direttamente sul mare di Calafuria. Il villaggio è molto confortevole e offre un ambiente tranquillo e familiare e offre tutto ciò di cui si necessita. I volontari dormiranno in tende fornite dalla ASD Swimtrekking e dovranno munirsi di sacco a pelo e un materassino. I bagni e le docce calde sono in condivisione con gli altri campeggiatori e si trovano non distanti dalle piazzole delle tende.
Per quanto riguarda i pasti, la prima colazione sarà servita presso un’area attrezzata del campeggio, non distante dalle tende. Per il pranzo sarà preparato un pasto al sacco che verrà riposto nei barkini. Per la cena, i partecipanti consumeranno il loro pasto al ristorante del campeggio. Tutti coloro con problemi di intolleranze o con diverse abitudini alimentari (vegetariani, vegani ecc.) su richiesta, potranno avere dei menù personalizzati.

Requisiti e materiali
L’attività dello Swimtrekking si basa sul nuoto. Sarà quindi fondamentale che tutti i volontari sappiano nuotare i due stili principali: lo stile libero e lo stile dorso. Specifichiamo inoltre che non sono assolutamente importanti i tempi di percorrenza e la tecnica individuale ma una certa abitudine all’attività fisica. Si richiede quindi una certa consuetudine con l’attività sportiva di qualsiasi genere sia pur blanda. Le persone molto sedentarie non sono adatte a questo tipo di esperienza. L’attività di Swimtrekking migliora la propria tecnica individuale nel nuoto, sviluppa l’autocontrollo e la conoscenza di sé, fa conoscere una serie di tecniche quali l’apnea e il salvamento, studia la flora e la fauna, il moto ondoso, i venti e le correnti, rafforza e accresce le dinamiche del gruppo. Chiunque può quindi affrontare in maniera positiva l’esperienza di un campo Swimtrekking se interessato a sperimentare le conoscenze da noi proposte.

Help the community of Lauterbach take care of its beautiful forest and of its wildlife-rich open land! Lauterbach has many nature conservation areas to offer and your valuable help is needed for various conservation tasks.
During this workcamp you will be working in the forest and open land and you will help the municipality to maintain the diverse landscape. Your tasks:
• Maintaining a wet meadow as a habitat for rare species of flora and fauna. This involves removing mown material from the meadow by hand;
• removal of woody plants from the forest moor biotopes with tree-trimmers and saws;
• maintenance of beautiful hiking trails, so that everyone can enjoy the great landscape as well;
• removal of so-called "neophytes" (invasive non-native vegetation) from protected areas, as they threaten native biodiversity;
• you may also repair fences and maintain ecologically valuable grassland areas, supporting our local graziers.
Be prepared for hard physical work! Due to working in swampy (boggy) and steep areas, rubber boots and/or sturdy shoes are required for effective work! The work will be led by a professional instructor, so no previous experience is needed. You will work around 30 hours per week, somewhere between 8am to 3pm from Monday to Friday with a lunchbreak.
Luogo
Lauterbach is situated in the heart of the Black Forest nature park, close to the towns of Schramberg and Rottweil. You will have many possibilities to hike and experience nature first hand. Just step out the door and find yourself surrounded by beautiful landscapes! In your free time, you will have the possibility to go to the swimming or to visit cities like Rottweil or Freiburg.
Alloggio
You will stay in a nice community house in the middle of the forest, called "Mosenmättle Guest House". There, you will find sanitary facilities, showers, a common room with sofas and tables and a well-equipped kitchen for you to use. You will sleep in 4 multi-bed rooms (with bunkbeds). As the house is located in a very rural area, the internet access and mobile phone coverage will most probably be limited. Just be prepared to spend two wonderful, adventurous weeks away from your busy and usual everyday life. Your group of volunteers will be responsible for grocery shopping and cooking together. The food will be bought with the camp budget and everybody will take turns for cooking and cleaning.

The town of Riaño is located in the heart of the Cantabrian Mountains in the historic Montaña de Riaño region. A fairly extensive space that has been protected under the figure of the Montaña de Riaño y Mampodre Regional Park, the prelude to the well-known Picos de Europa National Park. An impressive natural space covered by the dammed waters of the Esla and Yuso rivers. Riaño has been a municipality marked by the great environmental catastrophe caused by the construction of the reservoir. Although Riaño did not completely disappear, a large part of the old town remains submerged. In spite of everything, it has many incentives to dedicate an in-depth visit to it to see the uniqueness and beauty of the area.
There is a Hermitage of Nuestra Señora del Rosario next to which rests the so-called most beautiful bench in León because of this natural viewpoint. The visit will then take us along the so-called Paseo del Recuerdo. A one kilometer long pedestrian path that runs along the edge of the swamp.
The most beautiful viewpoint are outside the village: Las Hazas viewpoint and the Valcayo viewpoint. It is a very short and spectacular road. One of the best panoramic views in the area.
There are many hiking trails that can be done in the area, but one of the most emblematic is the ascent to Pico Gilbo (1679 meters). It´s also recommended the ascent to Pico Yordás. The views are also wonderful but the slope is somewhat greater. And, finally, you have another of the most mythical ascents at the top of Peñas Pintas. Same, although it lacks great technical difficulties, the route requires quite a bit of effort.
The privileged situation of Riaño makes it a fantastic point from which to make wonderful excursions in the surrounding area: Macizo de Mampodre y Valle de Valdeburón, Lois y la catedral de la Montaña, Valle de Sajambre y otros.

The purpose of the workcamp is bringing young people an approach to different tasks of
archaeology, such as digging and the study of archaeological remains. Scientifically, it
aims to enhance the knowledge of the Roman city of Aeso (Isona).
There are three actions planned:
a) Surface cleaning of the land plot known as Hort del Cavaller
b) Archaeological excavation on the same plot
c) Treatment and study of archaeological items from the site preserved in the Museu de la Conca Dellà, both from the current excavation and from the precedent ones.
Every day, the participants will be distributed into subgroups in different areas of the site
to carry out the indicated tasks, taking care to make rotations in order to guarantee the
cohesion of the whole group and that everybody knows all areas of the site. The
archaeological works will be carried out from 8 am to 11 am in the Hort del Cavaller. From
11 am to 2 pm, the items (mainly pottery) will be treated at the Museu de la Conca Dellà
facilities. This program could be modified by atmospheric conditions: in case of heavy
rain, the activity can be completely focused on the treatment of archaeological items.

The privileged geographical situation, a plain protected by mountains by the sea, the mild climate
of the Mediterranean coast and a permeable land, rich in phosphorus, make the region of El
Penedès the main producer of wines and cavas in Catalonia. This wine history goes back to at least
the 4th century B.C.
The vineyard structures are thus a distinctive cultural feature of the area, and they have been
refined over time. The Subirats area, halfway between the Vilafranca plain and the Ordal
mountains, has steeper terrain than the rest of the region. That is why, in this area, the structure
of dry stone walls and constructions, which are necessary for levelling the ground and plotting the
vineyards, are quite important. Dry stone works were declared Cultural Patrimony of UNESCO due
to its historical importance and patrimonial value.
Free time and leisure activities will include group games, workshops and cultural activities in order
to learn more about Catalan culture and the vineyard tradition in the area. Participants will visit
cultural and historical areas and museum in Subirats, a wine and champagne factory and also
Vilafranca del Penedès, the Catalan wine capital. They will also visit the city of Barcelona, which
is only 45km from the accommodation area.
During the camp, some spaces will be reserved to be able to make trips that allow the young people to know the reality of the
territory, as well as its heritage and traditions. Therefore, the following departures will be made:
- Two-day excursion with bivouac to the Castle of Subirats.
