About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our ESC project includes 2 areas and encourages some practical activities to improve the management of our cultural and natural heritage according to environment prevention, territory promotion, and local inhabitants’ well-being. Bringing young people, on the one hand, closer to local culture, traditions, and customs and on the other spreading awareness about the importance of the protection of green areas and responsible behaviors is one of the most important aims of our activities. To do so, activities will take place in concrete places of historical and environmental importance, three urban parks, and ficana, an important and historical neighborhood. The project includes six young european volunteers. three of them will be employed in the development of the green areas and the other three volunteers promote and encourage the development of Villa Ficana. Volunteers will have also the possibility to develop their own personal project depending on their interests and passions.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Gruca manages a guesthouse situated directly in the historical village of Villa Ficana, where the volunteers will live. The neighborhood is one of the most picturesque and historic ones of the city. The guesthouse is composed of three little houses with separate entrances and with different shared spaces. Volunteers will receive a food allowance plus pocket money to satisfy their own needs. They will be also receiving a seasonal basket of fresh vegetables from the organic garden where they will be helping. Volunteers will be able to move on foot (just 15 minutes from the town center).

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will be assisted by members of the Gruca association to be settled in a new environment, and to solve any problems of a practical and logistic nature. For each project area volunteers will be assigned to a tutor, who will introduce them to the tasks and will support them through the project duration. Gruca will provide the volunteers with a two-month italian course, moreover the opportunity to join the online language support platform provided by the ESC Program. They also will join the On Arrival Training and the Mid Term Evaluation Meeting organized by the National Agency

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).
