Who we are Organizzazione non governativa di volontariato internazionale di ispirazione cristiana

IBO Italia is a Non Governmental Organization of Christian inspiration operating in the field of national and international volunteer work. The network of which it is member began its operations in 1953 in northern Europe, with the first work camps serving to rebuild destroyed houses for World War II refugees. In fact, IBO is the Flemish acronym for Internationale Bouworde, which translates into "International Builder Society". Located in Italy since 1957, IBO was officially established as an association in 1968 and was named suitable for work in in the field of international cooperation by the MFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) in 1972 (IBO was the first NGO in Italy to officially carry out an international-cooperation project approved by the MFA). Member of CCIVS ( Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service) since 1957 under the aegis of UNESCO, IBO has been registered in the Provincial Charity Registry since 2005 and united with Volontari nel mondo (Volunteers in the World) - FOCSIV since 1972.

Our historyIBO Italia was born in Italy in 1957, thanks to Father Angelo Marcandella, a young priest of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart, son of Italian emigrants in Belgium. Father Angelo had followed the movement "International Bouworde" since its creation in 1953 in Europe by another priest, Father Werenfried van Straaten, better known as “Father Bacon." Father Bacon, who some years before founded the "Oostpriesterhulp" or " Church of the Silence" (today known as " Aid to the Church in Need"), acquired this nickname for his engagement with poor German refugees of the Second World War who, after having escaped from the blasted cities at the end of the war, crowded together on the borders with Belgium and Holland. In his collecting campaigns, Father Bacon took everything that Flemish housewives could spare; above all bacon (which earn him the lifelong nickname) that he then gave to the evacuee families. One Sunday morning, during the Mass, he gave some small holy pictures to the children and told them to hang them on the wall of their houses. Whereupon he saw a little girl crying and he asked her why she was so sad. The little girl replied that hers was one of five families living in a warehouse. Her family was in the centre and so there were not any walls; these words left him bewildered and started off the movement of the "International Builder Memberships". Thus, Father Bacon decided to build houses for them, with the help of many young people who started to come from all over Europe to support us. Working teams of "white overalls", thanks the donation of thousands of white overalls from a German paint company, overran Europe up to Italy. Their aim was to build houses for who could not afford to buy one.

The first office of IBO Italia was in Cognola di Trento, then Pontenure (PC), Piacenza, Cesate (MI), Casalpusterlengo (LO), Cassana (FE) and now in in centre of Ferrara.By the time, IBO Italia had become an official association (1968) and a Non-Governmental Organization (1972), when the first cooperation project in Zaire was carried out for the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1974, IBO Italia was one of the founding NGOs of Volontari nel Mondo - FOCSIV (Federation of Christian Organizations for International Volunteer Service), at that time, still FOLM (Federation of Lay Missionary Organizations). To this day, IBO Italia conducts many projects in Latin America, Africa, Asia and thousands of work camps throughout Europe with the participation of tens of thousands of volunteers.

OUR DREAMBecoming volunteers ... together

A society in which everyone takes responsibility for the wellbeing of others and of the community at large. A world in which education is available to everyone, so every person is free to choose where and how to live, in his or her country of origin or elsewhere.

This is the dream of IBO Italia, which brings together those who commit to their own countries to raise young people's awareness of the value of volunteering, those who go to faraway countries to volunteers, those who support minors in difficulty. Those who commit to slums and those who work in organizations, those who rethink their own lifestyles, those who believe in an equitable, free trade economy and those who fight against poverty, those who pray, and those who hope believing that they can make a difference.

This is the dream that inspires our efforts for solidarity and international cooperation, that motivates our invitation to you to share our commitment and our enthusiasm to build together a fair, just, and sustainable world.

To us, 'building' is an important word. It recalls how we were born more than fifty years ago and the works that have brought IBO Italia to where it is today: a non-governmental organization recognized both nationally and internationally. The willingness to self-analyse and to adapt as necessary does not hold us back from continuing to create positive change all over the world, from Italy to Peru, from Romania to India.

For the future, we envision an even greater involvement of IBO in the world because our young volunteers are becoming responsible citizens and active protagonists in society. We also aim to reinforce our commitment in the countries in which we are already present, because there is much to do before needs become rights, before projects lead to real cooperation: a meeting between individuals of equal dignity.

This is our path, which we walk together with many friends, old and new, all young of spirit , because we believe in volunteerism as a socially responsible choice. A conscious commitment to create relationships, networks, and community involvment. An open, dynamic, and enthusiastic participation which values the resources of everyone, constantly working to make this dream an everyday reality for all people.

MISSION To promote personal growth as well as development within the community, with regard to human rights and social transformation, so that everyone can be a conscious and responsible member of an increasingly just and sustainable society.

General information about IBO Italia workcamps

WorkOur workcamps are voluntary experiences of 1-2 weeks and take place from June to October. The number of international volunteers in the camp varies from 2 to 6. We try to avoid having more than 2-3 people of the same nationality in the camp. All camps have English as communication language. As a rule volunteers have to work 5-7-8 hours a day 5 days a week for the benefit of local community. Hosts provide food and accommodation as well as social and cultural activities in return.

Conditions for participationVolunteers should be over 18 years old. There is no maximum age limit. Usually there are no special skills required from volunteers. Participants should be motivated to do voluntary work, be ready to meet realities of local life and have enough flexibility to accept it, be tolerant and open for the new experiences.

InsuranceIn our camps insurance is not provided for no italian volunteers, therefore volunteers have to bring their own insurance against illness, accident and third party risk.

Some practical mattersFor the majority of camps volunteers have to bring sleeping bag, work clothes and gloves, summer clothes and swimming suit. Our volunteers can be accommodated in communities, schools or tents. It is vital to have a mosquito cream.

Ferrara Buskers Festival 2013PROJECTPlace: Ferrara – ItalyShifts: CULT/IBOIT17 - 22/8-2/9Number of volunteers per shift: 8IT + 5INT

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECTFor the fourth consecutive year IBO Italia is guest of the Ferrara Buskers Festival for the solidarity. After the 2012 edition for which IBO Italy collaborated to support the some villages of the area interested by earthquake of 20 and 29 may 2012 , also for 2013 strengths are united for collaborating to collect founds to support the voluntary sector and the youth mobility.It is born so the idea of a new workcamp to involve actively a group of volunteers to support this project.

The Ferrara Buskers Festival, with its 800.000 spectators, is the biggest event in the world dedicated to the art of the street. It was founded in 1988 with the aim of enhancing the role of street musicians and to get to know a city rich in history and charm – objectives which have been fully accomplished.

For many spectators from all over Italy and, significantly, even from abroad, the Festival is an exciting tour around the world in search of familiar and exotic sounds; it’s a passionate-treasure-hunt to discover the most original instruments, the most inspired performances and the most fanciful costumes. It is, above all, an endless mobile jamboree, that moves in a thousand directions, able to reserve surprises at every corner: a river of joy, of hints and amazement, that invades the streets and squares of one of the most beautiful city centres of Italy.

The protagonists of the Festival are the buskers themselves; travelling artists who, in their daily activities, try to give some good humour and poetry to passers-by. The extent of their being appreciated lies in the ability to win the attention of a yet-to-be audience. To get them drop a token in the “hat”(in Euros, dollars or pounds). The Busker’s money-exchange office is always open.

Every year, from the third edition - the festival is devoted to a nation guest from which the greatest part of the 20 invited groups come. To these ones they are added accredited groups that participate to own expenses and according to the selection they can perform only for a day.Any artist receives cachet but only the offers of the public in the hat. The shows follows the principle of the rotation, varying the position of the groups every day.

From 2011 the organization is involved in the project Ecofestival to reduce to the least one the wastes and to also fix elevated standard around the respect of the environment for events of wide course. Diversified harvesting of paper, plastics and aluminum during the event. Bureau Veritas has certified the results of the project.

Moreover this, the Ferrara Buskers Festival wants to be also a great moment of solidarity sustaining the training and to the values of voluntary world, to the youth mobility and the intercultural world, to the active citizen to ideally unite Ferrara to Italy and the whole world.

WORKThe volunteers will be involved in activity to collect offers in 7 different enter points in of the action area of the buskers (historical area of the town). In particular 30% of the offers will be donated to IBO Italy that will use the founds to support the training and the values of voluntary world, to the youth mobility and the intercultural world, to the active citizen.The activity will follow this program:thursday 22/8 arrival within the 18.00 o'clockfriday 23/8 from 17.00hrs to 24.00hrssaturday 24/8 from 17.00hrs to 24.00hrssunday 25/8 from 17.00hrs to 20.00hrsmonday 26/8 resttuesday 27/8 restwendsday 28/8 rest thursday 29/8 from 17.00hrs to 24.00hrsfriday 30/8 from 17.00hrs to 24.00hrssunday 1/9 from 17.00hrs to 20.00hrsmonday 2/9 departure
