📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our Italian partner is a social cooperative dedicated to social and community development. Their projects aim to support vulnerable individuals and communities in various areas such as education, employment, health, housing, and social integration. They work closely with local authorities, NGOs, and other partners to implement innovative and sustainable initiatives. Their main goal is to improve the quality of life for the people they assist and to promote social inclusion at all levels.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will be engaged in 2 services of the Municipality of Vicenza for youth information and youth participation, together forming “Progetto Giovani Vicenza”, supporting its activities and projects realisation and development. Mostly in summer time, the volunteers will also cooperate with one of the organisations that regularly works at Polo Giovani B55 (“La Piccionaia” - Theater Production Center) with some additional tasks for the realization of events and educational activities. Polo Giovani B55 is the place of youth participation, where young people can find a place where to meet, realise new initiatives and projects, learn, study or simply chill out. The Youth Information Centre of Vicenza works in the fields of youth information and youngsters involvement for the development of their active citizenship. It offers guidance about training and education, placement, mobility and volunteering activities, stimulating the participation of young people to social life.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation: twin room in a recently renovated ground floor flat. The flat is shared with other ESC volunteers hosted by other organizations in Vicenza. 

🍲 Food

The volunteers will receive a monthly food allowance together with some pocket money.

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).
