Presentation of the program

EUtopia is a reality immersed in the countryside of Northern Italy. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with nature and give new life to the structure and the land around it, with the idea of making it a safe and inclusive place for highly vulnerable young people in future European exchange and volunteering projects. The idea is for volunteers to get in touch with the local community and know the history of the of the surrounding area. Important: physical team work will be requested. Main activities: Renovating of the farmhouse; Upcycling activities; Green maintenance; Cooking; Sport activities and Physical health (bike ride; swimming pool; football; etc..).

The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
