Resumo: The hosting organization is the regional branch of Legambiente Onlus, environmental organization founded in 1980 by Italian ecologists and members of the anti-nuclear movement. It is based in Florence, but develops its activities throughout the region, coordinating 30 territorial groups and acting in the areas where a local supervision is absent.
It is a pacifist and non-partisan association, composed by free citizens who fight to improve the liveability of the environment and to guarantee community health and respect for legality, encouraging the adoption of sustainable lifestyles and spreading the importance of volunteering and active citizenship.

The organization therefore develops awareness, training and education activities on environmental issues, aimed at citizens and students and characterized by a scientific approach: all the campaigns and initiatives carried out by the organization are based on solid scientific data and are accompanied by concrete, realistic and practicable proposals.
This modus operandi, combined with the ability to analyze global problems at the local level, guarantees a deep rooting of Legambiente in society and makes it the most widespread environmental organization in Italy, with 18 regional coordinations, 1000 local groups and 115.000 members and supporters.

In both of them, the ESC team will contribute to preserve biodiversity 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 share and trasmit eco-friendly lifestyle, discovered during the ESC project.
