📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
“AGROSOCIAL - A winning choice” is an international project financed by the European Solidarity Corps program carried out over a period of 12 months with the collaboration of 3 international partners.
The organizations are based in those countries: Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Greece.
The project includes a series of interconnected activities in which people from different cultural backgrounds are encounter and experience non-formal and informal learning in an intercultural environment for six months.
The challenges and social needs that we want to face are mainly linked to the Lunigiana area, depopulated, rural and characterized by a poor, reluctant and basically closed overall vision. Our will is to want to redevelop it, in our small way, through the hospitality of three European volunteers who would bring greater internationality to the local context.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The project is developed at the "Casa-famiglia San Francesco" located in Lunigiana, a territory between Emilia Romagna, Tuscany and Liguria.
In the Municipality of Mulazzo, Province of Massa Carrara, in the rural village of Castagnetoli, at 255 meters above the sea level, on the border between olive groves and woods, at the foot of the peaks of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines that reach up to 2000 meters of altitude and accessible by various paths.
Accommodation, food and transportation are fully covered by the ESC Program.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteer is engaged in different types of activities and issues related to the care and maintenance of the environment, of the person and focused on human and interpersonal relationships.
In practice, the volunteer will live and develop the project inside at the Casa-famiglia San Francesco.
In the family home, the tasks will be linked to daily sharing in the family with about 20-25 people from difficult situations and from prison, adults with an individualized educational project.
The volunteer could learn how to work with wood, animals and agriculture in all its perspectives.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profil: In this project we are looking for a volunteer who is really ready to carry out a solidarity activity that takes place full time (minimum 30 and no more than 38 hours per week) unpaid for a maximum period of about 6 months.
