Resumo: The host organization has a long history of hosting volunteers from all over the world. Starting in 1992 and until 2006, the Association has organised more than 20 workcamps in the programme “Volontariambiente” that greatly help the founding group in the early phases of the Ecovillage. After that date, the doors were kept open for individual volunteers, and now we have an average of 50 independent volunteers per year.

The EVS volunteers will therefore meet a well structured organisation, and spend their time in an open "family" of adults and children, well acquainted to sharing time with non residents, guests, and visitors from different countries. A variety of languages is normally spoken at the tables, Italian, English and German being the three main ones.

The volunteer can consider the possibility to update the collection with other books in Italian, English or other language according to his/her interests, looking for books that can be useful for the community and the guest.
