📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The project aims to create a learning experience for youngsters through longterm volunteering mobility to achieve a useful, virtuous and ethical growth path, with the idea of raising awareness around climate crisis and taking action for the environment protection, while opposing the phenomenon of silence and social consensus in favor of the Mafia on local level.
The volunteers will be involved in the activities connected to community development around “Terra Franca” which is a piece of land confiscated from the Mafia and given custody to our organisation by the Municipality of Palermo for 10 years in order to restore it to the collectivity and sensitization on the environmental issues as an emergency for the future of our planet.
Volunteers' main tasks include field work in the piece of land "Terra Franca", networking and the organisation of activities around the place.
There were also be space for the volunteers to develop their own personal project regarding the topics of GAIA.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be hosted in an appartment with other volunteers, composed of an entrance hall, kitchen, two bathrooms, 5 large bedrooms and a living room, which is located in a residential neighbourhood of Palermo provided with all the services and facilities and very close to a train station and bus stops.
The travel will be arranged between volunteers and the organisations.
As well as the pocket money, volunteers will receive 150€ as food allowance for which they will have to bring HRYO the invoices.
HRYO will provide the volunteers with bicycles or bus passes for the main city lines.
