Resumo: The host organization was founded in 1989 to fight against the increasing number of landfills in our region, starting to promote recycling. The main aims are: environmental education for children of kinder garden, primary and secondary school, upkeep of cycling and pedestrian paths in important natural and historical areas. The centre, opens every day on demand, is equipped with plastic models, maps, naturalistic elements and a small museum with remains of the first world war in order to explain the geological and historical evolution of our region.

Since 2010 we are organizing and managing a summer school for children focused on environment. In this summer school course, we taught children the importance of nature and healthy environment. Since 2009 the host organization has been hosting national and international volunteers of work camps in the summer and volunteers of the European Voluntary Service during the rest of the year, thus creating a network of cooperation for the promotion and preservation of natural sites and spread abroad of the ideas and values. Since the beginning of the association we have also been organising guided tours for local knowledge, creative workshops, animated readings, book presentations, concerts, international dinners with EVS volunteers, recycle and upcycle festivals, courses with different themes (from geology to regional history, from herbal remedies to language courses thanks to EVS volunteers ...).The staff meets once a month to organise the future activities. Every year one young Italian person joins our group as a volunteer of national civil service to teach also to young Italians about the importance of volunteering and environment.
