Every year YAP Italy organizes between 15 and 18 international workcamps in
whole terrirtory of Italy. Our projects have different themes and types of work:

Historically we put attention to peace education and non violent conflict
resolution and these themes are still very central in our workcamps. We do not
ask for extra fee in our workcamps.
