the project Etna Finder is a tour guiding company that allows people visiting the area to explore the whole Etna region and culture surrounding it. The task for the volunteers would be: • Provide customers with information about the region.
• Ensure customers are safe and well informed about the dangers of Etna. • Lead customers safely around and across Etna’s harsh terrain. • Explain points of interest as well as your surrounding environment.
• Connect the volcanic area with the population of people around it, and explain the advantages and disadvantages of living there. • Identify different types of flora and fauna within the region.
accommodation and meals Volunteers or Trainees will most likely stay in an apartment close or connected to the company office. When working for a full day lunch is provided, this ranges from a pack lunch to a 3 course meal at a refuge or winery depending on the excursion.
