About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Association "Il beccogiallo" is since 1986 a permanent space of sharing and cultural care in favor of aggregation and implementation of all the social components available in order to promote a real CULTURE OF CHILDHOOD. The very young members, aged from 3 to 14 years, are currently about 250; adult volunteers are about 15 and they take care of educational, cultural and organizational aspects together with the professional educators and staff. Since 1997 the association signed an agreement with the City of Matera for the Partial Socio-Educational Custody of children with social, economic and migrant background. Within the association, those issues are faced thanks to the plurality of cultures and social situations among the children. During all year Il Beccogiallo organizes activities to support the children to grow open-minded, without limits and no stereotypes. The daily activities are based on home-work support, leisure time activities so as summer camps and cultural visits.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The project is located in the Capital of Culture 2019 Matera. The volunteers do get hosted in apartments, self managed, in double rooms, fully equipped kitchen, laundry, shared bathroom. The apartments are in the centre of Matera city, so there is no need for transportation. The other room mates are also volunteers coming from all of Europe for other volunteering projects. Volunteers receive money for food monthly and as rule of ESC program receives pocket money (calculated as 6€ per day) and food money (200€) via bank transfer.

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).
