About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This voluntary activity will be held in the “Ca' Rossa” (Red House), a residential house where about 12 disabled people between 18 and 65 years old live. The users have a mild mental illness and/or disability, with mainly rehabilitative needs and no need for continuous health care. The living environment fosters individual and social emancipation processes and the personal independence of the guests who are invited to develop their hobbies and abilities and express specific needs. The volunteer will be involved in the every day activities connected to the autonomy of the users in daily life, recreactional activities and creative workshops.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will work 32-35 hours a week and could work from monday to sunday with two days off per week and two day holidays per month to be used according to the volunteer’s needs but always to be agreed with the supervisor. He/she will live in a single room in a flat with other ESC volunteers; the flat is composed by 4 single rooms, one bathroom, one kitchen and a living room). The volunteer will have a bicycle to move freely in the city.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will have the opportunity to learn how to deal with people with disabilities, how to work in a team. He/she will be offered an italian course to improve/learn the language. He/she will have the opportunity to attend some trainings about multiculture, volunteering, etc. and to meet other volunteers hosted in the same area. In the same time we will host about 7 volunteers in the same city so the volunteer will have the opportunity to meet other cultures.

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).
