About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Anffas Sibillini Aps is a social promotion association founded in 2013, located in a mountain municipality near the Sibillini Mountains. The association is dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as those facing relational challenges. Volunteer involvement is highly valued, as those supported by the association benefit greatly from direct interaction. Volunteers play a key role in the activities offered, enriching the quality and impact of these experiences. The main activities include: recreational, sports, and training activities; preparatory programs for supported employment; the creation of an educational garden; hosting school groups and elderly individuals; managing a space called WOW; participating in markets, events, and fundraising initiatives; and welcoming volunteers. Volunteers find in the association an opportunity to engage with disability, explore new activities, learn new skills, and feel welcomed.

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).
