    Description

    Located in the countryside of San Giorgio Jonico in Puglia, this Social Cooperative was born dealing with the work integration of disadvantaged and disabled people, today it mainly deals with environmental education laboratories, socio-cultural and political activities. It extends over four hectares of land partly cultivated with vegetable gardens, olive trees, almonds and prickly pears. It also carries out projects for the recovery of abandoned olive groves. It also deals with the temporary reception of disadvantaged people who are involved in the work of managing the house, the fields and the small chicken coop and in educational farm activities with local schools.
    It is currently lived in permanently by 3 people, about ten cats plus other friends and companions who frequent it permanently

    Situata nell' agro di San Giorgio Jonico in Puglia, la Cooperativa è nata occupandosi di integrazione lavorativa di persone svantaggiate e diversamente abili, oggi invece si occupa principalmente di laboratori di educazione ambientale, attività socio culturali e politiche. Si estende su quattro ettari di terreno in parte coltivati a orto, alberi di ulivo, mandorle e fichi d'india. Inoltre porta avanti progetti per il recupero di uliveti abbandonati. Si occupa anche di accoglienza temporanea di persone svantaggiate che vengono coinvolte nel lavoro di gestione della casa, dei campi e del piccolo pollaio e nelle attività di fattoria didattica con le scuole locali.
