About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will support activities at ‘Girasoli Land’, managed by I Girasoli ETS Association and located in Caltanissetta. Over the 14 days, the programme will balance practical activities, such as taking care of the vegetable garden and harvesting olives, with days dedicated to visits, experiences, networking and socialising.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will visit a local olive oil mill to learn how olive oil is produced and will create small souvenirs made with extra virgin olive oil, as well as engaging in networking with local organisations that manage assets and land confiscated from the Mafia, addressing issues related to the anti-Mafia movement, the rule of law, and social and environmental justice.

🎒 Leisure activities

A central element of the whole experience will be the cultural exchange, enriched by the presence of several beneficiaries of the I Girasoli ETS Association with migrant backgrounds who will play an active part in this project.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Volunteers will stay in a house equipped with a 6-bed room and a 4-bed room, ensuring shared but comfortable living arrangements. Meals will be prepared on-site, with access to a kitchen and refrigerator for use as needed. The association will be responsible for purchasing groceries, taking care of specific dietary needs such as vegetarian preferences, allergies, or intolerances. The house also includes a Wi-Fi connection to support volunteers during their stay.
Deadline: 03/10/2026 23:59

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).
