Organizzatore
This project is actively working for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), organized together with Kikuya Community Group (KCG) since 2008, formed by the local young people to think of the future of their small village. Ikata is famous for its main industry of mandarins farming, but has been facing depopulation, lack of workers and aging society since most of young people leave the town. So, the number of abandoned mandarin farms is increasing and the town is losing its tradition, life, custom and scenery. KCG strongly hopes to host vols. to work together to animate the town and revive the farms.

Organizzatore
This project is actively working for SDG2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with Akitsugawa Promotion Group (APG) since 2024. Tanabe City and Minabe Town in Wakayama Prefecture are Japan's largest Ume(plums) products-growing areas. The region features a unique plum cultivation agricultural system that has been recognized as a World Agricultural Heritage by FAO. This system utilizes nutrient-poor, gravelly, and unstable slopes, preserving firewood and charcoal forests while strategically planting plum orchards. For over 400 years, it has sustainably produced high-quality plums, maintained through various wisdom and innovations. However, the region is also suffering from an aging population and declining birth rate, and sustainable agriculture, particularly plum farming, is in danger due to a lack of manpower. An international workcamp was organized with the aim of spreading the plum and the region's attractions to volunteers from all over the world, and passing to the next generation.

International language camp is organized for teenagers by The Language School In Down-Town and the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite (ALP S) as part of their annual activities on multicultural issues for youth. The project s aim is to introduce the diversity of world cultures to the youth and provide them with good practices in intercultural communication by means of alternative English language practice which includes meetings, visits and direct contacts to young people from abroad. The project gets teens of 14 to 16 years old familiar with national traditions of the countries from all over the world, encourages them to develop their global thinking and individual initiative, tolerance and resistance to xenophobia and ethnic hatred. Camps give foreign participants a great chance to meet youngsters both from Estonia and other countries as well as to experience local life. This summer we offer you to participate in our project called KALEIDOSCOPE . We invite camp participants to discuss ideas of chaos and order, mess and harmony. Together, we will discover our own infinite potential and freedom to create new patterns of life, same way as we create patterns out of random single pieces of colourful glass twisting a kaleidoscope. We will learn how to find harmony in apparent disorder and use chaos as a tool for stress relief, how to turn imperfection into the source of true beauty and embrace uncertainty to make our life journey more successful, unique and vibrant. Camp participants will gain ideas and skills how to deal with a million of combinations of the world s reality.Meetings with local and/or international professionals in the field will take place. Thematic photo and video contests for camp participants will be organized.

Progetto
Le Prealpi friulane vivono un momento di profonda riflessione su quali possono essere le giuste leve in grado di invertire il declino che stanno vivendo analogamente a quanto si sta sperimentando in tutte le cosiddette aree interne e periferiche e non solo in Italia. L’abbandono drastico delle pratiche agricole e la fine di una zootecnia estensiva che le avevano modellate e invigorite negli ultimi secoli fino al secondo dopoguerra, le stanno spopolando in favore delle aree urbane che offrono servizi e possibilità di impiego.
Una possibilità che le vallate prealpine conservano ancora è rappresentata però dalle bellezze ambientali e dal valore che oggi esse rappresentano in una fase di generale declino della qualità ambientale e di allarmante perdita di biodiversità dovuta non solo all’emergenza del riscaldamento globale.
Nel Campo di Volontariato i ragazzi saranno guidati a fare dei campionamenti sullo stato dell’ambiente partendo dai corsi d’acqua dell’Arzino e del Cosa ed effettuare un monitoraggio attraverso la raccolta e l’analisi dei campioni d’acqua al fine di portare in evidenza le forme di inquinamento che possono comprometterne la naturalità.
Lavoro
I volontari saranno impegnati in attività di campionamento e analisi della qualità dell’acqua lungo i torrenti Arzino e Cosa. Una ulteriore attività sarà costituita da interventi di recupero sulla sentieristica storica affiancati da artigiani esperti nel rifacimento dei selciati e delle murature a secco.
Luogo
Il comune di Castelnovo del Friuli è situato al centro del Friuli ad una altezza di 250 m s.l.m. nella fascia collinare antistante la pianura
È composto da ca. 40 borgate sparse lungo le colline tutto attorno alla frazione centrale di Paludea.
Il territorio è costituito da un corrugamento montuoso originato da movimenti di faglia nel sottosuolo che alla fine hanno dato ai luoghi il caratteristico aspetto a pieghe con rilievi addossati l’uno all’altro.
Abitato da 1000 anni prima di Cristo il comune è disposto in una posizione amena appena sopra la pianura del Friuli occidentale ed ha sempre rappresentato un luogo di rifugio e protezione per le scorribande e le invasioni che hanno sempre infestato il Friuli.
Fino al primo dopoguerra l’economia si fondava sull’agricoltura di sussistenza ed il luogo era conosciuto per la coltivazione della vite e degli alberi da frutto.
Stazione ferroviaria di Casarsa della Delizia.
Attività formative
Il ciclo dell’acqua, esame delle opere di regimazione con analisi delle pressioni che insistono oggi sui corsi d’acqua e formazione sui protocolli e le tecniche di campionamento. Inoltre attraverso l’attività di recupero della sentieristica storica i volontari acquisiranno abilità manuali nella costruzione con blocchi di pietra a secco.
Alloggio
L’alloggio, Ostello di Castelnovo del Friuli, è costituito da 2 camerate da 16 posti ciascuna, da una cucina e un'ampia sala multiuso.

Au cœur d'un charmant petit village bourbonnais, le château de Montaigu-le-Blin est une imposante forteresse médiévale du XIIème, classée Monument Historique. Située sur une petite colline, cette forteresse offre un espace bucolique et intime, proche de la nature avec une belle vue sur les paysages alentours.
Depuis les années 80, des bénévoles participent chaque année à la sauvegarde, la rénovation et à l'animation touristique du château, alors pourquoi pas toi ?
Ces dernières années, la forteresse s'est refaite une beauté ! Les bénévoles ont continué à faire des travaux de maçonnerie traditionelle sur les murs du château et ont développé le potager médiéval au pied de la tour du Seigneur. A vous de prendre le flambeau !
Inside a lovely little French village, the castle of Montaigu le Blin is an impressive medieval fortress, classified as Historical Monument. It is located on the top of a hill, overlooking the countryside. Since 2002, volunteers have been participating, every summer, to the restoration of the castle. These last years, the fortress has regained its beauty! Since the 80s, volunteers come every year to restore and protect the castle. These last couple of years, volunteers restored the castle walls using traditional masonry techniques and developped the medieval vegetable garden at the bottom of the Lord's tower. This year, it's your turn to live an experience back in time!
