Ten months in Nepal: the webinar that tells the story of resilient agriculture and Himalayan communities

What does it mean, today, to support agriculture in the rural areas of the Nepalese Himalaya? And how do you tell the story of a changing land, amid mountains, communities and new climate challenges? These are the questions at the heart of “Ten months in Nepal: resilient agriculture and Himalayan communities”, the webinar to learn about ASIA's Universal Civil Service project, which will be held on Thursday 9 July at 5:30 pm, live on Zoom.

The meeting closes a Universal Civil Service journey lived by four young volunteers between Kathmandu and the mountain districts of Nepal, within the project “Progettare per il futuro: agricoltura resiliente in Nepal”, carried out by ASIA with the coordination of CIPSI. Universal Civil Service is an experience that allows young volunteers to devote a year to a cause of solidarity, growing in the field alongside an organization: the webinar is also an opportunity to understand concretely what it means and what it involves.

The webinar will be structured in two moments. A first part devoted to the work and the results, and a second, more personal part, made of the stories of the beneficiaries met and the first-hand impressions of those who lived these months in the field. The common thread is to convey, through a concrete experience, what Civil Service in cooperation really means. There will also be a time for questions and answers.

Speaking will be the volunteers Francesca Moricca, Sofia Silvestri, Adelaide Iucci and Federica Barbini. The introduction will be given by Emanuele Assini, of the ASIA Nepal Desk; moderating will be Elisa Cappai, ASIA Communication Manager.
