Volunteers will take part in different contexts: one is the office in Florence and the main activities in the city (campaigns, events, managing Giardino dei Semplici) and on the other hand the context of the urban garden at Fabbrichino theater (in Prato). Cooperating with young people from different countries will promote a dialogue and cultural exchange.

The project has the aim to promote a sustainable lifestyle and to support a cultural exchange between the volunteers. The idea of this project is to educate volunteers to be able to transmit eco-friendly lifestyle discovered during the EVS project. 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.Volunteers will be involved 7 hours per day in the activities; if necessary they will take part in weekend activities respecting rest days.During first months for volunteers will be provided language support with the purpose to permit them to familiarize with local culture.One of the principal tasks will be the organization and implementation of the main campaigns of Legambiente Toscana (i.e. Italia NO OGM, Piccola Grande Italia, FestAmbiente, Goletta Verde, Puliamo il Mondo, Festa dell'Albero).They will be also involved in environmental education at school: volunteers will help in the planning of educational paths for every schools in addition to take part in meetings with classes.Volunteers will contribute in the maintenance of Semplici Garden, helping in the treatment and conservation of green spaces, greenhouses and collection of plants.Others activities will be the routine maintenance of the green area "giardino Fabbrichino", the related laboratories about enviromental education for children in Fabbrichino theater and international workcamps in summer, as participants or leaders.Some activities request a little 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 using 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: Legambiente Toscana Onlus 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. During the first meeting with the mentor and the staff, volunteers will be introduced in the association and could describe what they expect from the project in order to specify the objectives to be pursued.
