Associazione T.E.So.Ri.

T.E.SO.R.I Association was founded in December 2008, from a group of young people who made some volunteer experience in Casa Bosticco, an apartment group for people with mental health, managed by the Cooperative “Arborvitae” (“Tree of Life”) in San Damiano d'Asti. Casa Bosticco is a "therapeutic farm," that’s why the agriculture knowledge of those youngster was important in various activities: for instance, green spaces maintenance, garden and farm animals management and biomass fuel supply. Through the various external works carried out from the guests and workers of Casa Bosticco, the young volunteers could learn the value of the rehabilitation through the work in contact with nature and environmental sustainability. The main aims of TESORI are: - Educate young to solidarity and sobriety - Grant the centrality to the weak persons through the activation of associative, employment, work, and residential groups in agricultural contexts with low environmental impact - Educating young people to have respect for the environment through example of environmental sustainability and restoring local culture. To achieve these objectives, the Association organizes the following activities: - Designing projects for training young people in solidarity and environmental respect; - Stages in communities for social reintegration (Casa Bosticco and others); - Funds raising to develop environmental sustainability.
