ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

In Casalino di Ligonchio, the main goal of the “Ostello dei Balocchi,”  a beautiful ecological hostel in the mountains, is to introduce the donkeys to the new generations. The donkey is an animal that, for generations, has collaborated with humans, ensuring their survival and development. They organize visits for groups, schools, but also families and individuals, trekking, and personalized excursions even for several days (with a stop in the shelters you find in the mountain or in the tent). The donkeys will help you transport all the necessary equipment (tents, blankets, food, etc.), while the children will have the opportunity to try the thrill of riding these animals along the paths and the old mule tracks of the Apennines. Volunteers will help in the preparation of educational workshops for children, give support during trekkings and Erasmus+ exchanges, and provide assistance in the daily work of the hostel (welcoming guests, animal care, maintenance, kitchen duty, etc.).

TRAINING DURING THE ACTIVITY

Volunteers will participate in the training organized by the Italian National Agency. Associazione Joint, the coordinating organization, will also organize trainings with the volunteers and their tutor.
