Presentation of the program
For this project in Morigerati, Salerno (Italy), we are looking for 6 participants aged 18–30. Morigerati is a small village with around 300 inhabitants, located in the green hills of the southern Cilento National Park in Campania, Italy.
Like many villages in southern Italy, Morigerati is facing the risk of silent extinction due to the continuous emigration of young people and families in search of work opportunities elsewhere. The aim of this ESC Team Project is to support the development of sustainable, respectful, and community-based tourism as a long-term source of income for young people. By creating new opportunities linked to nature, culture, and local traditions, the project seeks to encourage young residents to stay in their home village, close to their families and roots. Through this project, international volunteers will actively contribute to strengthening local capacities and creating meaningful, authentic experiences for visitors.
About the accommodation
Volunteers will stay in a modern fully equipped apartment with three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and common spaces in walking distance to the village centre. Meals will be self-managed; a small supermarket and a butcher provide nearly everything needed. There is a public transport once a day to and from the coast (Villammare, Sapri). The nearest airports are Salerno Costa d’Amalfi, Naples and Lamezia Terme, the closest train station is Sapri. Travel costs will be reimbursed according to ESC guidelines, with additional support for green travel.
About the leisure
Volunteers will receive non-formal training led by Angelika Bartholomäi, expert in sustainable rural tourism and project coordinator, together with Demetria Barra from WWF Grotte del Bussento. Through a learning-by-doing approach, participants will explore the area’s natural and cultural heritage while developing practical skills in sustainable tourism, teamwork and community engagement. Thanks to her international experience, Angelika will guide volunteers in planning activities, collaborating effectively and promoting inclusive participation.
