Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The camp is organised by Lunaria in collaboration with Forte Prenestino. CSOA Forte Prenestino is an occupied and self-managed social centre that has existed since 1986. Reclaimed from abandonment, it is a space for meeting, socialising, creativity and collective organisation, lived without institutional authorisation or political control. The Forte is self-managed through horizontal assemblies and the free association of people who share a common project and ethics. It experiments with alternative ways of living, organising work, time and decision-making, valuing equality, diversity and collective responsibility. Open to anyone who shares its values, the Forte is entirely self-financed through accessible contributions from cultural and musical initiatives, which support its daily activities, campaigns and mobilisations.
As part of a wider struggle for a different society, Forte Prenestino practices another form of sociality and economy. It is openly anti-fascist, anti-sexist, anti-racist and anti-prohibitionist, and remains a deliberately challenging space.

Description of work:
During the festival, the place is going to host hundreds of artists and thousands of spectators, so the international volunteers will be asked to join the local volunteers to manage the entire organisation of the event. An average of 6 to 7 hours per day is required, with working shifts organized on the event nights.
The volunteers' work is mainly going to involve: Logistic set up and support; Pub and restaurant tending during the festival; General cleaning during the evenings.
After the event, the volunteers will help take down the structures and clean the fortress. The work can be physically hard (and it will be very hot), but the environment will be funny and easy going. The motto is “Share, Work and Have Fun”. In a few words, volunteers should get ready to be active and to give their energy to the community working at the Forte Prenestino.

Roma, Latium

Description of location and leisure:
The camp takes place in Rome. The city is surrounded by sixteen military fortresses built during the second half of the 19th century to set up a defensive system. All these fortresses were partially used and then abandoned during the 20th century. Forte Prenestino is located in one of these fortresses, in a big working-class neighbourhood called Centocelle.
The 1st of may 1986 a mixed group of people, under the pressure of necessity decided to squat Forte Prenestino. Since, there was no cinema, place to make music or to meet each other, they made of this Fortress the perfect spot to exchange and to learn with and from each other.For the last 25 years, full of work, fun and political struggles, the center has become a place of cultural production, autonomously managed and economically independent. Every 1st of may, a huge festival celebrates the creation of Forte Prenestino.
Forte Prenestino organizes concerts and events like Crack!, as well as providing different services for the community such as a restaurant, two pubs, a tea room, a recording studio, a popular gym, and a theater.
During the workcamp there won’t be much free time to visit the city of Rome, for instance we suggest you to arrive or depart a few days before or after the camp.

The association is composed of young people for young people founded in October 1998 in Carignano with the aim of protecting, promoting and enhancing artistic, historical and architectural heritage, nature and the environment, by proposing summer work camps for young volunteers from all over Europe. The workcamps in Carignano were started to restore some rooms in a building in the historical center of the town. Through this project volunteers have the opportunity to recover Carignano’s architectural heritage and enjoy the environment whilst meeting young people from all over the world. Moreover “Giovani Insieme” organizes different local events such as summer camps for local children, cultural exhibitions, etc. By joining this workcamp you will contribute to the Sustainable Development Goal: Climate Action-SDG13

Description of work:

Volunteers will work with children from 6 to 13 years old (Italian speaking) in the summer camp of the village from Monday to Friday. We’ll be focused on the historical tradition of carnival in Carignano and we’ll create some carnival costumes for the final show. The local team of volunteers will support the international ones for translation, but, don’t forget to be flexible in this. For an amazing experience of exchange, they could talk about carnival traditions in their countries and also teach the children typical songs or dances. Every week the volunteers will go once to a retirement home to present their countries. There will also be an activity in a protected area cutting bamboo to protect the endemic vegetation and use it for the activities in the summer camp. Some of Carignano's families will host the volunteers for a dinner in their home to share their culture and way of life. The last day there’ll be the opportunity to participate to the “Gay pride parade” in Turin
