Only after adequate reasons for the group of young people and volunteers have built with them a common identity matrix is \u200b\u200bput in place a very innovative educational formula that we called school-volunteering. Social skills and environmental knowledge on protected areas acquired in the classroom are then "verified" and put into practice during four days of intense educational and experiential activities with all the schools in the network.

The inclusion of the school in an integrated training system, understood as a covenant-educational alliance between the school and extrascuola (associations, local institutions and national parks) will allow young people volunteer to go in the coming months for summer camp volunteers. The school can be found in parks, a huge wealth of knowledge, knowledge and experiences. The parks may see their actions through enhanced collaboration with the volunteers.
Clean, mark and secure a path, signal fire, support the guards of the parks in their daily tasks, provide information to tourists, as well as by their presence simply animate the life of small towns or rural mountain littered in our parks ... .. are just some of the activities that they can play with enthusiasm the volunteers.
