The Challenge

The goal of the workcamp is to help to “Rubin Carter” amateur sports association to build a new level of his gym. Infact “Level up!” is about recover the second floor of the building and transform it into a gym, involving the beneficiaries and the neighbours in the works. In the same days there will be in Milan also the annual “Design and Architecture Expo”: we will demonstrate another way to build up together something different in an alternative mood!

The Solution

The international volunteers group will help the local volunteers to dispose of trashes, clean up, rebuilt walls, pave floors, do plumbing and electrical works, painting, decorating, setting up the gym… a lot of hard works! In the free time you can also enjoy the sport classes of boxe, yoga, martial arts, tai chi, break dance, capoeira, theater, belly dance..We will organize workshops about the practice of self building and public moment of community working.
