About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our project and association want to invite you to rethink the importance of collaboration, starting with food, sustainability, cultural dynamization, and daily actions. This volunteering opportunity offers you the chance to immerse yourself in rural life, where enjoying nature and living together becomes a way of learning. You will be in contact with local and foreign people, both elders and youth, sharing meaningful experiences. You will take part in tasks such as gardening, planting, manual work, painting, and cleaning communal spaces, contributing to the development of an active, sustainable, and supportive community. More than volunteering, it is an invitation to reconnect with what really matters.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be hosted in a shared house with 4 shared bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 living room, and a garden. The house is dedicated to volunteers’ hospitality and has space for up to 12 volunteers. Pocket money and food allowance of 320 euros per month will be provided, plus the bus pass for transportation will be reimbursed at the end of each month

🎒 Leisure activities

The long-term project includes participation in On-arrival and Mid-term training sessions organized by the National Agency, where you will have the opportunity to meet other international volunteers from different countries. Moreover, ALA provides ongoing training to help volunteers improve their competencies. ALA also offers free Italian lessons to volunteers.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Open-minded young people interested in experiencing authentic rural life and community.

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).
