Tipology
  • Youth (Participation, Youth Work, Youth Policies)
Description

What is Vitality?
Vitality is a European Solidarity Corps project that brings aliveness and dynamism on different levels:

* ​To the rural community of Alta Langa and lower Piedmont by introducing international mobility opportunities to local young people, by valorizing local cultural heritage, by taking care of the natural landscape through permaculture, by organizing festivals and events, by promoting sustainable tourism.

* To the lives of 5 young volunteers that will experience themselves outside of their local reality, they will discover new passions, and enhance undervalued talents. The project provides learning opportunities in the field of youth work by getting involved in projects for young people organized at the local and international level.

* To the entities involved in the project: The organization Vagamondoand the Municipality of Bergolo will receive support in the implementation of their institutional activities and also new inputs and new ideas from the European volunteers. That will increase the offer and the capacity of the associations to operate at the local, national and international level. The volunteers will develop activities also in cooperation with some other municipalities of Alta Langa.
