Young people from the social and labour insertion programme Tresca, which drives the Fundesplai (Fundació Catalana de l’Esplai) are participating these days in a work camp to promote youth leadership, which takes place in the town of Tarrés, in the region of Les Garrigues, in a facility provided by the Community of Jesus.
In total, 14 young people who have trained with Tresca and who from July 7 to 15 are carrying out tasks of recovery of environments such as maintenance of an old farmhouse.
This activity is designed to promote youth leadership, since apart from the usual tasks of the work camps, young people will also be trained in participation and leadership, so that in the future they can be themselves promoters of other initiatives beyond Tresca.

Projects against the crisis
The SNF is very focused on deploying projects in Athens, to alleviate the effects of the crisis, especially in recent years. Among others, it is now promoting the construction of a large cultural center. A spectacular opening performance of the conference was held on the esplanade under construction of this infrastructure on Wednesday 25 evening.
The conferences and debates of the two whole days of the day, were very rich, both for the diversity of projects, and for the topics addressed:
Fundación Esplai is grateful for the invitation to the Conference to SNF, which has generated ideas and proposals that may soon be contributions to the Tresca Euriope project and others.
