💼 What the programme involves

Our partner is a volunteer organization based in Foligno, halfway between Rome and Tuscany, at the heart of the green Umbria. They use their local artistic and cultural heritage to create digital immersive experiences, through which young people can acquire today the digital skills they will need in their professional and adult lives of tomorrow. And they do this with youth from all over the world, through their European projects and international events. --- Our partner is looking for a volunteer to work with us over the course of 12 months. The volunteer will be producing quality photos and videos of historical costume events, artworks and sites of Umbria's cultural heritage to create content for our partner's educational games, AR and VR experiences. They will also document conferences on art and digital technologies as tools for inclusion, contributing to our organization’s dissemination activities.

🍲 Food

The volunteer receives funding for their basic costs from the European Solidarity Corps program, as well as insurance and language learning support.

📍 About the location

The project site is located in Foligno, in the heart of Umbria in central Italy.

Foligno is home to a vibrant and active associative sector, with numerous organizations dedicated to various social, cultural, and environmental causes. These associations play a vital role in preserving the city's cultural heritage, promoting local traditions, and organizing community events and initiatives. From historical preservation societies to youth empowerment programs, Foligno's associative sector contributes to the city's dynamic and inclusive community fabric.
The city's geography is characterized by gentle rolling hills, fertile valleys, and picturesque landscapes typical of the Umbrian countryside. It is surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and fields of sunflowers, offering stunning views of the Apennine Mountains in the distance.

Foligno, located in the heart of the Umbria region in central Italy, boasts a rich history dating back to ancient times. Founded by the Umbri people, it later became a Roman colony known as Fulginiae. Its strategic location along the Flaminia Road contributed to its growth and prosperity during the Middle Ages, as it became a prominent trading center.

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).
