About our Project:
TRAIL ANGELS founded by the European Union under the ESC program
Cultural routes are precious asset of the European Cultural Heritage. They create connections between countires and peolple, encourage mutual knowledge and physical activity, and promote the spreading of associated cultural contents.
However, they need regular and dedicated maintenance in order to be available for walkers and riders all year round.
In Trail Angels, teams of volunteers coming mostly from Northern Europe will be hosted in Tuscany to take care of the Via Francigena, one of the oldest and most important and famous of the European Cultural Routes.
Each team will cooperate to ordinary maintenance of one single part of the Tuscan via, until the entirety of this beautiful cultural heritage will restored for pilgrims and tourists alike on it again.

LONG TERM VOLUNTEERING
For 6 months, young European people between 18 and 30 years old come to the Centro Nazionale per il Volontariato. They work as volunteers, supporting the labour of the office by collaborating with the identification, planning, elaboration and coordination of projects relating to young people, active citizenship and inclusion.
With this experience, volunteers create connections between countries and people and promote voluntaring across Europe. They are also encouraged to take initiative and take on new challenges and adventures, such as the production of podcasts and engaging in Italian courses.
As volunteers, they help with the office activities during the morning, having the rest of the day free to discover Lucca and the Tuscanny, given all the beautiful and historical patrimony that this region has to offer.
