Resumo: The host organization wants to propose an opportunity to improve the quality of life for its guests by placing them in a particular social and environmental context. The Centre aims to make optimum use of the resources offered by the territory, to help ensure the competitiveness of rural areas. The goal is to use the cultural resources with wisdom, foresight and effectiveness, especially considering that they tend to be scarce. It is therefore necessary to think of a type of exploitation which can produce impacts in several areas, such as economic, social and cultural.

Among the local traditions, the traditional ways of work are valuable signs that remember us of simple way of life marked by rhythms largely disappeared. Sometimes, those are activities that suffered a cultural loss in the traditional sense: the figure of the artisan, the peasant, the farmer. Those figures has in fact changed anthropologically and also the activities carried out by those have lost their role with the advance of industrial civilization. But working is not only produce something for the market, but also to discover one's own capacity to feel useful to the community, to develop friendships, to establish dialogues, to gain autonomy of life ... Creativity, which is the basic element to build the artistic product, has a prominent place in human development, allowing the expression of the inner imaginative world. These then become the basis of the occupational activities of therapeutic communities (both types: in the farm work as well as in handcraft inside laboratories).

Tarefas: The work of young volunteers will be within the therapeutic community, especially Casa Giano, where they will also have their accommodation. Volunteers will live in community with the guests and other staff members. Therefore, it is a very intense experience from a human point of view but at the same time, very rewarding and enriching.

EVS volunteers will live in community. This building is composed by an outer field (with vineyards, olive trees, apiary, small farm, pot herbs...) with 2 houses, each one of 3 floors.
> House n° 1: it is only for beneficiaries>> there they take care of the very first welcome and the most intense part of the healing process. It is decision of the beneficiaries to be there. All therapy activities, sharing with the group, and bureaucratic activities are developed in this house.
> House n° 2: it is only for visiting guests, volunteers, educators, and beneficiaries at the very end of their process. This building has just been renovated and therefore has been used for a short time.

The two buildings are close to each other. Volunteers will live in the top floor of “House n° 2” (the whole floor will be just for them). This floor has 3 bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom (all of which to be used only by volunteers). Educators, visitors, and beneficiaries will live on the other floors (also equipped with showers and bathrooms). Thus volunteers will have not only a single room, but will also enjoy an environment of privacy from the activities and the live-in community.
It is important to highlight that beneficiaries living there are at the ending stage of their healing process (they are totally independent and do not need professional follow up). They are there exclusively because they need some more time to regain self confidence and be able to take the last step – reintegration in society. They do not put in difficulty the rest of the guests of this house.

On the first floor of “House n° 2” there is a shared kitchen fully equipped (cooking facilities, fridge, plates, …). As stated, it is a shared space but only with people living in this building, who are not many. Beneficiaries normally use the kitchen of “House n° 1”, where they live. The kitchen is used by everybody only for breakfast. Lunches and dinners of educators and beneficiaries take place in a canteen (where food is prepared together; then they eat and wash the dishes always toget...
