About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our volunteering initiative is part of the European Solidarity Corps program, aimed at young people from different countries. The project promotes social inclusion, equal opportunities, and the values of solidarity by involving young volunteers in supporting local centers that work with people with disabilities, socially disadvantaged individuals, and organisations committed to environmental sustainability and inclusiveness.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will also take part in the preparation, development, and implementation of non-formal educational activities on a variety of topics, such as citizenship, sports, arts, culture, sustainable mobility, youth entrepreneurship, and human rights, for diverse groups, including children, people in need, migrants, persons with disabilities, and NEETs (young people not in education, employment, or training). These activities are organized by CESIE and its local network.

🎒 Leisure activities

CESIE will provide accommodation for all volunteers. They will be hosted in an apartment located in the city center of Palermo, sharing a room with another volunteer of the same gender. Meals are covered by CESIE. Most of the local organisations where the volunteers carry out their activities are located in the city center. In cases where travel is required over longer distances, CESIE will cover the cost of public transportation.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Upon their arrival, each volunteer will take part in an on-arrival training provided by CESIE in Palermo. Volunteers will also take part in an on-arrival training and mid-term evaluation trainings provided by Italian National Agency. Moreover, volunteers will also have the opportunity to participate in a mid-term evaluation with CESIE. They will also have the opportunity to attend an online linguistic course and in case 40 hours of optional Italian language course in Palermo at the Italian language institute.

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).
