The experience consists in different parts, including reflections on peace and life culture, spirituality and manual work. Moreover, it is enriched by the contact with young people and the discussion of their needs and desires as well as their point of view and attention to life changes.
People who decide to share this experience come from all over Italy as well as from foreign countries, and they can be groups (such as schools, churches, scouts) or individuals. The weeks we offer are dedicated to different age groups, some are for 14 to 16 years old and some are for over 16 (see dates); and we often host families. From week to week, the number of participants varies from 50 up to 400 people, with an average of 2500 young people per year. During these weeks, the Arsenal goes on with its daily mission, hosting people in need.
