About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This project aims to provide a full-immersion experience in Siderno, Calabria. Volunteers will explore the hidden treasures of this diverse region and experience the warmth of its welcoming people. Bringing together locals and European volunteers, we encourages participants to contribute with their unique skills, experiences, and perspectives, collaborating on activities that address key community needs, (environmental, inter-generational and social initiatives for any age). The often-overlooked concept of European citizenship, is still an unknown topic for our people. Can you help us change that and show them how important it is to volunteer abroad? This project goes beyond cultural exchange—it's a journey to break down stereotypes and encourage open dialogue. We share not only a common heritage but also a responsibility to foster unity and celebrate our unique contributions. Let's build bridges, break barriers and discover the common thread that unite us all.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The apartment is located 10 minutes, walking distance, from our main offices. Next, or walking distance to the apartment provided, you can find: bars, shops, gyms, restaurants and pharmacies.

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).
