Environmental & maintenance works in the Convent San Giorgio (Italy)

Environmental and maintenance works in the Convent San Giorgio November 16 - November 27, 2009 Since 1999 the ex-Convent San Giorgio, a Volunteering Permanent Centre, has hosted hundreds of volunteers in different occasions (national and international workcamps, European Volunteering Service, etc). The Convent is situated in the region of Abruzzo, centre of Italy, about 150 km away from Rome. It has been fully restored by the local institution Mountain Community and furnished following as much as possible the "static free" standards. The project aims to bring new economic, tourist and especially cultural and spiritual movements in a quite isolated area. It deals with sustainable living, no waste, recycling and clever use of energies. As every year international volunteer groups will spend some days at the ex Convento San Giorgio: a good chance to meet people from all over the world, to know a bit of Italian culture, getting in touch with permaculture and sustainable living; all this while staying in a Convent of the XVII century. The tasks of the participants change according to the period of the year, the season and the weather, but can be summarized in: • maintenance of the structure (cleaning the Convent, painting walls, restoring windows,...) • feeding the animals (chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, donkeys) • working in the garden • cleaning paths around the Convent in the wonderful Regional Park of Sirente-Velino. Project language: English Location: Goriano Valli (Tione degli Abruzzi - Fontecchio), Province of L'Aquila, Region Abruzzo Age range: 18 and over
