SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 2018
Join us and help to promote and preserve the knowledge of archaeology, local history and cultural heritage in Campobello di Licata!
Work alongside our two experienced archaeologists. Together, you will:
Field activities will take place between 9 am and 1 pm and 2 pm and 6 pm. The camp begins on Friday afternoon and ends on Sunday evening for weekend volunteers, and ends on Wednesday afternoon for everyone else. On Friday afternoon, there will be team building activities and lessons about research techniques. This includes illustrating the ceramic and stone types present in the territory via quizzes and tests. In addition, all volunteers will enjoy educational activities about the archaeology of Sicily, board game sessions from our game library, and a photo contest with prizes.
For an additional small fee (15€), take part in guided tours and excursions to the main touristic areas in the region. Explore the FARM Culture park in Favara, medieval old town of Naro, as well as trips to the beach in Licata.
Volunteers will be staying in two spacious shared dormitories with clean bunk beds at the KISS Center. There are also two bathrooms separated by gender (one for each dormitory with three showers each).
Meal preparation is a shared activity -- food will be provided and the staff and volunteers will take turns to prepare packed lunches and dinners.
We are located in the small town of Campobello di Licata, in the Province of Agrigento, in Sicily, Italy:
