The camp is organised by Lunaria in collaboration with Cilento Youth Union.Cilento Youth Union APS is a non-profit organisation founded in Rofrano (SA) in 2015 on the initiative of local young people with experience in the design and implementation of youth projects, particularly within European programmes. The association’s primary aim is to contribute to the development of rural areas, with a specific focus on the Cilento region. Its motto, “Partire per Restare” (“Leaving in order to stay”), effectively summarises its vision: to offer young people physical and virtual intercultural spaces for dialogue and the sharing of professional experiences, while at the same time promoting transnational mobility within Europe


Description of the Work

Volunteers will be involved in artistic, cultural and organizational activities related to the preparation and implementation of the “Cuntarìa” festival. Under the guidance of local artists and organizers, they will take part in creative workshops aimed at preparing artistic materials and installations for the event.
During the festival, volunteers will support the local team with logistical and organizational tasks such as setting up and dismantling installations, assisting artists and performers, managing stands, supporting food-related activities, cleaning and maintaining public spaces. After the event, they will contribute to the restoration and cleaning of the areas involved. All activities are carried out under supervision and are supportive and educational in nature.

Accommodation & Food

Volunteers will be accommodated in a school building located in the center of the village, reserved exclusively for the group. The structure is equipped with shared rooms, mattresses, bathrooms and a kitchen. Showers are located in a separate building not far away from the accommodation
Meals will be prepared by the volunteers themselves, following a mediterranean diet. They will be supported by a member of the local community, who will introduce them to traditional Cilento cuisine. Whenever possible, fresh products from a local vegetable garden will be used. Meals will be eaten in the common dining area or at the workplace.


Location & Leisure

Stella Cilento is a small rural village located within the National Park of Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, characterized by a rich natural environment, strong traditions and a deep connection with the mediterranean diet and oral storytelling.
During the free days it is possible to reach the beaches along the Cilento coast, such as Ascea and Acciaroli, or explore trails and hiking routes within the Cilento National Park, visit historic villages, and enjoy picnics surrounded by nature.
Cultural visits to sites of historical and archaeological interest, such as Paestum, Pompeii and Naples, may also be organised, in line with the camp programme.
