Disconnection week:
During 7 days volunteers will be asked to disconnect from their technological devices and engage in various activities to discover themselves and their relationships with others. This immersive experience, guided by supervisors, aims to foster genuine human connections.
Instead of being online, we will engage in various live interactions to stimulate creativity, empathy, and teamwork. It’s a regular practice we implement during our projects and we will ensure a safe space for participants to be secure that disconnection will lead to positive results
The goal of this phase is to encourage a complete disengagement from the digital world and allow volunteers to fully immerse themselves in the present moment, and connect with yourself being surrounded by a peaceful nature environment
Food & accommodation
Volunteers will be provided with a place for cooking and will receive a weekly budget for the group in order to cook all together. They will live together in a Camp Site.
The Camp
The project is a big volunteering festival of 1 month. Volunteers will be provided with tents built in the camping area of Bergolo, they will receive also, mattresses, pillows, bed sheets, sleeping bags and they will use the camping toilets, showers and a cozy room of the camping area. Volunteers will have access to a kitchen and will take care of preparing the meals for the whole group.
