The Partner-Finding Tool
S.O.S.ustainability is a youth exchange in Italy focused on sustainable development and environmental good practices for young people between 18-30.
S.O.S.ustainability is a youth exchange in Italy (Carmagnola-North-West Italy, near Turin).
We are looking for partners from 5 European countries to send us a team of 5 people to take part to a youth exchange.
Age: between 18-30.
What we offer: flight expenses, accomodation in a recently renovated Sisters’ hostel (dorms - shared bathroom), food, local transfers and activities.
This project is called “S.o.S.ustainability” and it will be focused on sustainability related to environmental protection and sustainable lifestyle. This topic will be developed through visits to local realities involved in green projects (for example renewable energies). Participants will have the chance to share their experiences and learn new ways of being more “sustainable” in their everyday life. Activities will include: workshops with local associations involved in environmental protection, discovery of zero-waste alternatives to plastic (revival of hemp production, typical product of the town of the project). This exchange will take place during the annual trade and agricultural fair of the town, where the typical agricultural product of the town (pepper) is shown together with other 0 km products, so it offers the chance to discover the town during a very lively week, full of events and tourists.
We will also save some time to visit Turin and other points of tourist attractions.
