About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

P.E.CO. is an Association founded in June 2013 to promote opportunities of mobility and inter-cultural learning for youngsters from Genoa and its region.
P.E.C.O is the point of reference in Genoa and Liguria Region for European projects with youth, cooperating with several NGOs and coordinating ESC volunteering projects within 6 host organisations across the region. These regional partners deal with many different profiles of beneficiaries, from migrants and asylum seekers to youth and children with fewer opportunities; topics vary too, from unemployment projects and organisations working on environmental education. This gives P.E.C.O the capacity to involve many different expertises and to disseminate the impact of projects to relevant stakeholders at regional level. Moreover, P.E.C.O is the partner in our region of RIVE, the biggest national network on ESC in Italy (and in Europe) and has been one of the 2 Italian organisations selected by Italian NA to be member of the European Network on NEET, supported by SALTO.
We also have a partnership with the Youth Information Desk of Genoa Municipality, to support youngsters that want to go abroad, giving them information and orienteering.

💼 What the programme involves

Associazione Il Ce.Sto Onlus has been involved since 1987 in the promotion of integration and social promotion processes among the different ethnicities living in the historical center of Genoa, with particular attention towards minors, second-generation migrants, and other actors in the neighborhood.

ℹ️ Additional information

The volunteer will participate in the training opportunities offered by the Italian National Agency (On Arrival Training, Mid Term Evaluation, and Final Evaluation). In addition, they will also take part in the training opportunities organized by association P.E.CO., together with the other volunteers involved in the activities of other Hosting Organizations in Genoa. They will also receive specific training in the Hosting Organization related to the target group they will work with.

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).
