The “YOUTHQUAKE” project
What is Youthquake?
Youthquake wants to bring a “quake” of new energies, competencies and enthusiasm to the area of central Italy hit by an earthquake in summer 2016. Operating in a completely safe environment, young European volunteers will work within local community to help rebuild the rich historical and artistic heritage of Lazio, Abruzzo, Marche and Umbria regions. They will contribute to restore local, social, and cultural infrastructures, while providing a sense of security and community: a way for the affected population to start designing its future again.
What will you be doing?
Several hosting organisations are participating in the project, hence activities will be various and diverse: psycho-social and recreational activities for the most fragile categories (children, elderly, migrants, etc.); protection and valorisation of material and immaterial heritage, such as environment, manufacturing traditions, etc; promotion of tourism and natural areas; supporting the management of participative processes for the creation of new places of aggregation.
