About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our volunteering is a 4 months European Solidarity Corps project, addressed to young people coming from different countries. The project promotes social inclusion, equal opportunities and solidarity values, by involving young volunteers in supporting some local center with people with mental diseases, socially disadvantaged people. The volunteers will also participate in the preparation, development and implementation of non-formal educational activities on different topics (such as citizenship, sport, arts, culture, sustainable mobility, young entrepreneurship, human rights etc) for young people (kids, people in needs, migrants, disabled people, NEETs ecc.) implemented by CESIE and its local network (associations that provide services for kids, people in need, migrants and disabled people). Each volunteer will be involved for 30-35 hours per week (from Monday to Friday). We are looking for volunteers to start the project ASAP.

🏠 Accommodation on site

CESIE will provide accommodation for all the ESC volunteers. They will be hosted in an apartment located in a city center in Palermo and they will share the room with another volunteer of the same gender. The costs of meals are covered by CESIE. Most of the local organisations that volunteers will implement their activities are located in the city center. In the case of far distances, CESIE will cover the costs for public transportation.

🎒 Leisure activities

Upon their arrival, each volunteer will take part in an on-arrival training provided by CESIE in Palermo. Volunteers participating in the long-term volunteering service will take part in an on-arrival training and mid-term evaluation provided by Italian National Agency. Moreover, volunteers will also have the opportunities to participate in a mid-term evaluation with CESIE. They will also have the opportunity to attend an online linguistic course and in case 40 hours of optional Italian language course in Palermo at the Italian language institute.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: 18 -30 years old - a basic level of English, strong motivation and interest to work in a team with the different target groups (children, migrants, disable adults etc..); basic experiences or motivation in working with minors and young people. Availability for the whole period of mobility.
Deadline: 27/09/2024 23:59

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
