Description

Project: The camp activities will be directed mainly to the urban decor and more specifically to the restoration and enhancement of Republic Square in Eboli.

The square is located in the heart of the town. Until the ‘90 the square was the place where young people could meet and socialize, and the location of important and interesting cultural activities. For almost two years, it was closed to the public because of the restoration of its monuments and the laying of new flooring. At its reopening, it has lost its social value no longer able to aggregate the new generations in it.

We would like a cozy, green and crowded square. We want to imagine an eco-creative Square, redesigned with the use of sustainable materials and structures.

The motivation of the camp is linked to the revival of the community spirit that takes care of its spaces and lives them intensively.

Legambiente local group: Legambiente local group in Eboli was born in 1997 thanks to the fusion with another local group, its name is "Silaris". The Legambiente Silaris statute says that: "…Legambiente is a volunteer Association. Its members attend to the activities in an individual way, spontaneous and free, only for solidarity. It acts for a society based on an equilibrate relation between humans and nature, for the respect of the biodiversity; and for a sustainable development for the defence of the environment and of the cultural heritage."

The local groups counts 60 members that dedicate their free time to the Association. The age of our members goes from 16 to 75. They share several different moments of socialization.

The Association house in Eboli is located in the old part of the city. It is a nice building recently constructed.

Here a list of our main activities:

- Preservation of the local dune restricted area "Legambiente Silaris" along the coast of our city. This part of the coast belongs to the "Natural Reserve Foce-Sele" moreover it is a special area recognized by the E.U. as Sic IT 805001.

- Environmental Education in the schools in Eboli.

- Awareness campaigns for students and people about: energy; pollution, waste; studies about the vegetation; coastal erosion.

- Partnership with public Institutions for serious environmental problems.

- Project "Orti di Città" for elder people.

- Summer work-camp during summertime.

- Voluntary Civil Service

- Dog-sitter project to help dogs without any owner, in cooperation with the league for the protection of dogs. Our Association would like to continue and improve the promotion and valorization of the voluntary activities as a form of social and political participation, because we think that "another world is possible" and that is necessary to build up a society more equitable and sustainable.

Legambiente Silaris Eboli have been running national and international volunteer camps in Eboli for over ten years.

Work: The purpose of the camp is the urban regeneration through sustainable decorations.

We want to make livable and crowded the main Republic Square in Eboli. The camp will take place mainly in the Square.

As agricultural center, Eboli is known mainly for olive oil and for dairy products, among which the most renowned is the buffalo mozzarella.

One part of the mountains that surround the town of Eboli belongs to Picentini Park. The archaeological excavations prove that the Eboli area has been inhabited since the Copper and Bronze Ages, and attested (from the 5th century BC) the presence of the so-called Villanovan civilization.

The center of the town is characterized by a square from the elliptical shape that retains the charm of a nineteenth century ambient. The monument is dedicated to the fallen during the First World War. The square is crowded during Sunday mornings. Inside the square there are historical monuments, fountains, seating and public gardens.
