Proyecto voluntarios Italia parque natural

The Parco Culturale Alta Langa is a non-profit territorial association situated in Monesiglio, northern Italy, which purposes are:

• promoting knowledge of Alta Langa area in its various forms (historical, artistic, literary, architectural, gastronomic). • helping to develop an healthy, positive form of tourism.

• promote educational activities, in order to develop the local culture for youth and adults.

The association’s main project is Banca del Fare, a summer school about the restoration of traditional stone houses. Traditionally all the local buildings were made using stone and chestnut wood, materials available on the land itself. Even roofs were made with layered flat stones leaning on a wood structure. The school’s purpose is to provide the new generations with the ancient knowledge of making and fixing this buildings, as well as developing new sustainable techniques to integrate the ancient ones.

Therefore we are creating a program of educational workshops which are not only theoretic or academic, but actual construction processes. The skilled craftmen are our teachers and the ruins to be rebuilt are our “classrooms”.

The volunteers will be involved mainly in the Banca del Fare activities as well as in other Associations projects.

Phase 1 will take place in Turin, main city of Piemonte, a beautiful historical city where the staff and the volunteers will make the initial planning. The campus that will host the phase 2 is located in Cascina Crocetta, an ancient hamlet built according the traditional techniques, about 10 minutes drive from the closest village, the tiny Castelletto Uzzone.

The staff, the volunteers and the students will be living at Cascina Crocetta, that offers an hostel with 20 beds, 8 bathrooms, a cafeteria offering cooked meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, a laundry machine.

The surrounding area is rich in small villages, delicious eateries,medieval castles, and beautiful trails all to discover.

All local trasports are provided by the school’s van.
