RULES AND CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION
FOR THE INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEER CAMP PASSIONE CIVILE 2016

INTRODUCTION

Any experience of community life requires a sharing of ideals, commitment and rules that will ensure a good, efficient coexistence. Our aim is to manage complex situations at our best at an organizational level and to prevent critical problems and risks due to an inappropriate behavior in a difficult context and at the same time defend the image of the movement and the credibility of its message. For this reason Emmaus Italia prepared a document, in relation to the events organized for the VOLUNTEER CAMP PASSIONE CIVILE 2016, that should facilitate the understanding of the general organization, and establish in a clear and unequivocal way the rules and conditions for participation. All volunteers have to agree to these conditions when they register and follow them during all their stay at the INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS CAMP 2016.
