This is the perfect project for people loving simple life and outdoor activities in the mountains. It is surrounded by beautiful nature with high moors, forests and mountain pastures. You will stay in a mountain hut and improve a hiking hut. The village attracts many tourists, hikers in summer and people doing Nordic skiing during winter. Parts of this fantastic landscape are a nature protected area. Therefore, it is very important to make it accessible to people but at the same time, it is important to make the paths attractive and guide visitors so that they don’t leave the established paths and damage the nature. Part of this experience at hiking there is being able to have spaces to rest. The Neumannshütte, that you will help renovate, is one of them. To make the experience more unique, the village has decided to build a panoramic swing to swing into the landscape and to be used on social media.

HANDS ON is a camp where young people acquire social skills, learn and practice Social Thinking in a supportive environment. All campers participate daily in a social group dedicated to organizing and distributing clothing and essential goods to families in need and also supporting children in spending their vacation time, which focuses on the social learning of concepts necessary for everyday life. Campers work hard to achieve camp goals but also to identify their own social goals and to try new strategies as they navigate the week at camp. HANDS ON focuses on teaching campers how to think and solve problems in social situations rather than relying on cues or changes in the external environment around the camper.

Il campo si svolge nello splendido scenario dell’Area Marina Protetta Penisola del Sinis – Isola di Mal di Ventre, istituita nel 1997 a tutela di questo territorio costiero delicato quanto prezioso. Il comune di Cabras, gestore dell’Area Marina Protetta, da anni è impegnato in un importante percorso di conservazione della biodiversità e della tutela del mare, dedicando risorse allo sviluppo di un turismo sostenibile e responsabile, puntando quindi sull’uso rispettoso del mare e del territorio da una parte, e sulla valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale e archeologico dall’altra. I campi di volontariato che Legambiente realizza quest’estate, in collaborazione con l’AMP e il comune, si inseriscono in questo contesto; gli obiettivi sono di sensibilizzare gli abitanti e i turisti a una fruizione corretta dell'ambiente marino e costiero e di migliorare l’offerta di turismo sostenibile sull’isola, attraverso la sorveglianza dell’area protetta, il monitoraggio e la pulizia dai rifiuti.
Lavoro
II volontari garantiranno un presidio costante dell’AMP e svolgeranno le seguenti attività: informazione e sensibilizzazione dei turisti sulla corretta fruizione della spiaggia, con particolare attenzione alla tutela delle spiagge con granuli di quarzo, pulizia delle coste dalla presenza di eventuali rifiuti spiaggiati, monitoraggio e catalogazione dei rifiuti spiaggiati provenienti dal mare, raccolti secondo la normativa europea del Beach Litter e Park Litter nel caso di pulizie delle dune e zone retrodunali.
Luogo
A ovest di Cabras, la penisola del Sinis, si protende nel mare con una costa bassa e rocciosa, estendendosi nell’entroterra con un altopiano brullo e una bassa macchia mediterranea odorosa di rosmarino e di ginepro. Alla scogliera si alternano anche spiagge memorabili: a nord di capo Mannu le dune e le sabbie di Is Arenas sono coperte da una storica pineta, mentre a sud la costa si articola in cale di sabbia, promontori rocciosi e stagni. A sud delle suggestive scogliere di Su Tingiosu si trovano alcuni gioielli naturalistici, le spiagge di granuli quarzosi (del tutto simili a chicchi di riso) di Mari Ermi e Is Arutas. Alle spalle delle spiagge, di grande interesse naturalistico lo stagno di Cabras, e la laguna di Mistras, mentre di grandissima suggestione sono le rovine della città, prima nuragica poi fenicia e infine romana, di Tharros, situata proprio in riva al mare.
Stazione ferroviaria di Oristano, orario da definire (tendenzialmente nel pomeriggio)
Attività formative
I volontari saranno coinvolti in attività di formazione tenute dai responsabili di Legambiente e dal personale dell’AMP sulle caratteristiche naturalistiche e storico-culturali del territorio, sull'avifauna e fauna selvatica del territorio e sulle attività di lavoro. Sono previsti focus sulla raccolta differenziata. Verranno organizzate anche delle passeggiate ed escursioni nell'entroterra del parco con relative informazioni sulla flora dell'area. Verrà inoltre organizzata una vista al CRES, il Centro Recupero Tartarughe della zona.

Volunteers will spend mornings in various activities with the members that Association supports. There will be artistic tasks (mosaics), educational (some workshops), sports... After the lunch, together with the users, volunteers will walk in city center visiting main museums (National one, Nikola Tesla museum, Ethnographic...).
Volunteers will also dedicate some time to keep the school clean.
The main aim is to be there to meet the people that don't have that many opportunities for that in regular life, so the good will is really something that will help immensely!

Many activities will be part of the project, but volunteers will also have some free-time, that they can use as it suits them.
The only things that would be nice to bring with you are patience and smile, all the rest is of secondary importance!

This project will be very rich in what will be done during the stay. Firstly, volunteers will make and then position houses for birds. Also, they will prepare info-tables (boards) that will be put on some locations (local eco-center and few other important points). The stars of the project, owls, will have their winter areas arranged, since they need to do the general cleaning from time to time (luckily for them, volunteers will do that instead of themselves; what can we say-they are noblesse of the area and that oblige...the others, hehe). Arranging of the river coast, as well as some cleaning of the local beach will also take place. For the end, formation of local eco-garden in the bio-center "Green Zasavica". Can anybody wish for something more from a beautiful workcamp?
Luogo
The project will be situated in the cute village of Zasavica (pronounced: "Zasavitsa"). It is typical agricultural settlement in this part of Serbia, since there are houses, taken-care-of gardens in front, big fields for different land cultures in the back. It is not big, but it has its charm. In extremely near surrounding is the "Special natural reserve of Zasavica", protected area with huge number of species of flora and fauna (Ranunculus lingua, Hottonia palustris, as well as rarer Triturus dobrogicus, to name just a few)! Also, we shouldn't forget classics like Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) and beaver (Castor fiber), which was re-introduced in 2005. into these lands after 100 years of absence. It is good to mention that the cheese made of donkey milk is being made in the reserve, so if you get the chance to taste just a piece (we will see what we can do about that), know that you will be offered with the gift of 70 euros (hehe, really, 1 kilo costs around 1300 euros at the market). Interesting can be that the village is only 12,67 (depending on location) km away from Sremska Mitrovica, once one of 4 capitals of the mighty Roman empire (together with Rome, Constantinopolis and Mediolanum-Milano; it was called Sirmium back then). There are still some remnants in city museums that remind the passenger of glorious past, although it should be said that the town itself even today looks really beautiful (it is just not that big as the rest of its imperial companions, hehe; who ever heard of Sirmium outside of Serbia, Yugoslavia and history-professors, not even them all know; well, you might now have even the chance to visit it). Fun fact-9 Roman emperors were born there. For the end, important river of Sava passes by, so numerous beaches can be visited regularly, to have some refreshment in the hot days! Needless to say really, but keep in mind that locals will be very happy to welcome you, so patience with language barriers and good mood are always nice to have!
Alloggio
The accommodation will be in the local bio-center and the food will be prepared from domestic ingredients (you will see, it is a very fertile zone, of what locals are very proud demonstrating their happiness and creativity in their numerous meals, to conclude-Nobody will be hungry, right the opposite, hehe).

This camp allows volunteers to learn about global and local environmental issues through non-formal activities such as workshops, discussions, presentations and visits, as well as to contribute directly to environment protection by joining outdoor cleanup tasks. These cleanup tasks may be arranged in partnership with the above mentioned organisations or run solely by SEEDS. We also aim to involve the local community, so some of our events may be open to the public. We hope participants will learn how to plan and carry out their own trash cleaning projects back at home. This project is based on similar activities around the world, where outstanding results have been achieved with volunteers. Volunteers can choose one of the two options below, included as hands-on volunteering activity in the camp:A day trip combining a visit to the Hellisheioi geothermal power plant, a trash collection in the area, and the Hot River Hike, a hike up a valley filled with hot springs where one can bathe. A day trip to the Reykjanes Peninsula, combined with a coastal cleanup in the area.Please note that all activities are subject to weather conditions and the availability of our partners.This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun. No previous experience is needed. Volunteers should prepare to share environmental issues from their countries and be ready to spend time outdoors, walking medium to long distances during the cleanups, and during other activities such as sightseeing. Since a part of the project happens outdoors, volunteers should be ready to adapt and be flexible with the work and free-time schedule. Depending on the weather, we may not be able to perform some of the activities as planned.
