IMPORTANT: To finalize their application, the candidates will have to fill the form at the link https://forms.gle/a4MXpWJC9TjahcC6A . Only fully finalized candidacies coming from the countries indicated will be taken in consideration. Project dates are not flexible. All activities will be based on Non Formal Education and will also be focused on EU values. The project is dedicated to promoting individual rights. Our volunteer groups will engage in dynamic workshops and non-formal education activities aimed at content creation. From group projects to individual initiatives, the activities will promote personal and social development through participants.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be involved in activities 5 days per week, with a maximum of 35 working hours. They will live together in the beautiful Spinnato palace, a historical place in the centre of Mussomeli, right above Strauss APS headquarters. The flat is very large and contains all the necessary facilities, including a large terrace.

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport

Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
