Resumo: The association was founded in August 2015 to promote social and cultural awareness for its members (mainly youth) through outdoor life, socialisation opportunities, nutrition and sustainability.
Kora is situated in Passignano sul Trasimeno on an educational farm where it collaborates with other entities who have their activities on the farm.
The Association was founded to offer activities that neither the cooperative nor the agricultural company can carry out.

The Association wants to:
- offer itself as a place of gathering
- promote self production and growing of own food following the seasons
- promote the use of eco-friendly and appropriate technologies, such as: eco-building, water recycling, rainwater harvesting, etc.
- promote a culture of healthy lifestyle as an added value for the entire community
- promote lifelong learning
- offer learning opportunities (both short and long term) for unemployed youth and drop-outs in international groups.

These opportunities will be hosted in different places and will include EVS, learning camps, courses of Italian kitchen for foreigners, arts and crafts, agriculture. Particular attention will be given to youngsters with fewer opportunities (drop-outs, economical difficulties, mental disabilities...): Kora aims at hosting short term group EVS projects, in collaboration with the educational farm; these projects will focus on the learning process, allowing the volunteers to see a process from the beginning until the end. They will include manual works (agriculture and maintenance, such as building fences, picking up leaves...) and a strong mentorship presence: there will be many mentors following them and the volunteers will be accompanied by leaders from their own countries.

- Making fire wood
- Construction of small houses
- Building small dams and other water management systems

Horário: The volunteers will work 35 hours a week with two consecutive free days per week (not always Saturday and Sunday) nd 2 extra days of holidays, to be taken preferably at the end of the project. These hours include 1 hour for a meeting with the coordinator of the activities, that coaches the volunteers on their tasks, 1 hour for a meeting with the mentor, that evaluates the volunteers’ project, satisfaction and learning process.

Travel expenses will be refunded up until a fixed amount (180 € from 100 to 499 km distance, 275 € from 500 km to 1999 km, 360 € if more).
