Agorateca is a public space where it is possible to study, read and consult books; the place hosts workshops, seminars and creative activities for children and adults and hosts.

There is also an urban garden, whose goal is to be a center of aggregation, the garden can be cared for by the inhabitants of the neighborhood and by all those who frequent the library. In the garden, activities related to creative recycling, construction of greenhouses and street furniture are developed to create a small park for the children of the city, in particular:

– garden care

– planting of new plants for the summer harvest

– clean up the neighborhood

– construction of garden furniture (with wood and mainly recycled material);

Another chapter of activities will be connected in a place a few kilometres far from Altamura called “Oasi San Giovanni”. To reach the place, the Link organization’s means of transport will be used. Oasi San Giovanni is used during the summer for volunteer activities and Erasmus + projects. The space provides dormitories with beds, a large kitchen and meeting room, with air-conditioned, for different activities, and a huge garden.
The volunteers, together with Link’s staff, will give a new look to the dormitories, through maintenance activities of restyling of the rooms and spaces (painting the walls, construction of garden furniture, maintenance of fixtures, etc.)
