Resumo: The host organization it was founded in 1980 by Italian ecologists and members of the anti-nuclear movement that developed in Italy and throughout the Western countries in the 70s. Its purpose is to organize and coordinate the actions of the 32 Local Groups. The Organization is one of the most important environmental organizations in Italy for the defense of nature and the environment.
The hallmark of the Association has always been "scientific environmentalism". All environmental initiatives are based on solid scientific data and accompanied by concrete, realistic, and economically feasible suggested alternatives.
The organization focuses both on environmental actions and citizens’ training and education. There are more than almost 5000 members and supporters, many classrooms participating in environmental education programs, several young people participating each year in volunteer camps, and natural areas managed directly or in collaboration with other local authorities.

The projects performed by the organization are centered around environmental preservation and social development through sustainable actions.
At the national level, thanks to the affiliation with Legambiente Onlus, Legambiente Toscana implements projects throughout the national territory and manages parks and protected areas with an original and innovative approach to nature conservation.
At the regional and local level, the organization works with social associations and public institutions (Municipality, Comunità Montana, Region). Having direct contact with citizens, the organization promote citizen’s environmental education as well as their participation in democracy. These events aim to involve all citizens, Italians and foreigners, promoting a sense of responsibility towards the environment. The campaigns’ goals are to protect the environment and the quality of life of the citizens and to promote social mobilization and the spread of information related to global pollution. All groups are targeted.

For each project, the organization is responsible for planning, implementing, and searching for partner institutions and associations. All projects devolved aim to raise awareness and create great impact at the local and regional level.

Tarefas: The project will involve a total of four volunteers for seven months and will take place in different places in the countryside.
All activities of the project will be related to environmental issues, rural development and active participation in the community at local, national and European level.
In particular, volunteers will take part in two different contexts: one is the office and the correlated activities in the city (campaigns, events, EVS promotion); another one is the rural context of the countryside.

The EVS team will contribute to preserve nature and environment through an ecological and sustainable approach and will promote a dialogue and a cultural exchange within our community. The idea of this project is to educate volunteers to be able to transmit eco-friendly lifestyle, discovered during the EVS project.
For these reasons, our perfect volunteer profile requirements the following features: strong motivation for the project and its topics, interest for the activities, flexibility to adapt to every situations, interest in children's education, spirit of collaboration/cooperation.
Volunteers will be involved from Monday to Friday in the activities, but, if necessary, they will work also during the weekends, always respecting the two free days.
During first month volunteers will attend an Italian course in order to improve the language and to permit them to familiarize with local culture.

Then, they will start the activities, the main of which are:
- organization and implementation of the main campaigns.
- environmental education at school: volunteers will help in the planning of educational paths for every schools and they will take part in meetings with classes.
- work camps: volunteers will work and live for some weeks in a park, mantaining green and protected areas and organizing activities for visitors and tourist.
- work camps at Regional Park: volunteers will work and live for some weeks inside the park, cleaning and monitoring the beach and giving information to the tourists.

- organization of events, language tandem and info days to promote the European Voluntary Service and the Erasmus + program.
- training and seminars about environmental issues

Some activities request a light physical effort (i.e. conservation of green spaces, maintenance activities); on the other hand some activities request organization and communication.
The project will form volunteers to use their knowledge and personal skills to reinforce their ability in team working. Volunteers will also have the possibility to develop their own project and their new ideas in order to improve their skills and competencies.

The methods for developing these skills are informal and non-formal learning adjusted to the needs of the volunteers: supported by tutor and mentor, the organization will use group sessions, peer education and discussions and useful methods to grow up their personal, educational and professional profile.
Their ability in management and leadership will be strengthened through the participation in decision-making processes.
