About the project

ESC: "Jungi Mundu"

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

“Jungi Mundu” – which means “Join the World” in the local dialect. The project facilitates asylum seekers’ reception and integration, adopting a scattered hospitality approach in contrast to the transitory way of life that typifies the crowded migration centres in many larger cities. The “Jungi Mundu” centre - open 24/7 - is acknowledged as a safe haven for the new residents, especially families and minors, who in turn have actively contributed to community development since their arrival. Local Italians and the new migrant population collaborate and bond through activities such as the daily crèche, cooking, arts, reconstruction, and ceramic laboratories. Activities include a homework club, tending the local didactic farm and fruit and vegetable plots, helping vulnerable people with medical visits, Italian lessons, women’s club, computer literacy, and supporting local entrepreneurship.

🏠 Accommodation on site

For the past twenty years, these southern Italian villages which have embraced refugee resettlement programmes have experienced economic growth and expansion, as the local municipalities implemented long-term goals with their new migrant communities. Working together, migrants and local Italians have rejuvenated these former ‘ghost towns’ together – which have now become global symbols of internationalism, humanitarian aid and solidarity.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will receive trainings before and during their volunteering period. They will also have access to the trainings provided 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).
