📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

L'Associazione InformaGiovani a été fondée en 2001 à l'initiative d'un groupe de bénévoles qui géraient le desk InformaGiovani de la ville de Palerme. A partir de septembre 2024, c'est un ETS – Organisme du Tiers Secteur, inscrit au Registre Unique National spécifique.
Aujourd'hui, l'Association est l'organe de coordination d'un Réseau européen pour le volontariat social qui compte 16 membres dans 14 pays de l'Union européenne et des partenariats avec des organisations de tous les continents.

Check the list of partners in Europe, by viewing this map online The work takes place every morning on a small uninhabited island, where volunteers assist with flora restoration, vegetation maintenance, path repairs, litter cleaning, meal prep, and shift management. It’s physically demanding due to heat and sun.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is at CAMPING LA PLAYA, with 2 large tents and 1 smaller tent for the group. Camp beds are provided, but volunteers must bring two single bed sheets: one for the bed and one for covering themselves. If needed, bring your own pillow (an inflatable travel pillow is recommended). A small fridge will be available for storing water. Toilets and showers are shared with other camping guests. Washing machines are available for an extra cost (which volunteers must pay if needed).

🍲 Food

Grocery shopping is provided and volunteers are responsible for preparing meals, with shifts.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Since volunteers will take a boat every day the ability to swim is compulsory for safety reasons. Volunteers need to be highly interested in environmental issues, protection of the sea and coast. High sense of adaptation and flexibility is demanded! Volunteers need to suggest 2 topics related to the environment to organise a workshop during the project.
Deadline: 25/06/2025 12:00

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).
