A community that heals, educates and regenerates.” A citywide environmental project, taking place in 6 neighborhoods, in continuation with an earlier San Leo Green neighborhood environmental project launched in 2022 in Parma's San Leonardo neighborhood.

The project has the following objectives:

2) the protection and care of green areas of the 6 districts of Parma, including San Leonardo neighbourhood, throught monthly moments that involved all those involved in the project.

The camp is part of one of the activities under the “Green Up!” urban regeneration art project. Volunteers will collaborate on the creation of a Mural, together with young people from the neighborhood, inside the courtyard of the Micheli Comprehensive Institute Middle School.
The drawing that will be reproduced was conceived during the winter and spring months by the students of some classes of the Middle school and then co-designed together with the young adults with disabilities who attend the daytime activities of the Fiorente Cooperative and the adolescents of the “Scuola del Fare” youth centre. The co-designing activities and the realisation of the mural will be carried out under the supervision of a young artist from Parma, who will guide the volunteers in the realisation of the drawing and in the use of environmentally friendly venrnics. Volunteers from the neighbourhood will also join the group of international volunteers in the realisation.

Volunteers with interest and skills in mural painting/graffiti art and creativity are requested.
