📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Re-Grown is a 12-month project in Brescia managed by Tempo Libero, starting in September. The volunteer will help manage the Ricolto project, which distributes surplus food to people in need. Activities include working with other volunteers to organise food donations, manage store inventory, handle day-to-day tasks in the store and participate in awareness campaigns on food waste. The volunteer will also assist with gardening and farming activities, promoting sustainability while working with local volunteers and asylum seekers. This project emphasizes community solidarity and environmental responsibility. Find the infopack at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Dxk1TkbGWBRZxOfhLbPHJPB1IwaSQpDG/view?usp=drive_link

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be provided with fully equipped shared apartments located in the city centre, within proximity to the volunteering site. A monthly food allowance will be provided, and each volunteer will receive a bicycle to get around town. Travel expenses will be covered, with a preference for environmentally friendly travel options. To support their integration and activities, volunteers will have the guidance of a tutor and mentor, while a project coordinator will oversee the overall management of the project.

🎒 Leisure activities

Each project includes On Arrival Training (OAT) and Mid Term Evaluation (MTE) organized by the Italian National Agency. These sessions provide specific training on the project’s activities, alongside learning paths designed to help volunteers discover, understand, and recognise their skills, aptitudes, and competencies. Volunteers can also access online language support to learn Italian through the EU Academy platform and in-person courses. At the end of the service, all volunteers will receive a Youthpass certificate, documenting their achievements.

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).
