About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Entropia is based in the University Campus, in the rural area of Rende town, near the city of Cosenza (Calabria, Italy). The association has been managing DAM, a space that works both as a cultural center and as a service center, hosting many Italian and international students, young people, and local artists, for several activities. Its main aim is promoting active citizenship, inclusion, solidarity, peace and respect for humans and the planet, through arts, culture and communication. ESC volunteers will stay for 9 months in our community, engaging in local activities and projects while learning about welcoming practices, language exchanges, digital communication, and organizing cultural events.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is available in a shared flat within the university area. The rooms will be shared among the volunteers. This apartment will be conveniently located within a reasonable distance from the office and workspaces. Basic furniture and necessary objects will be provided. A set of rules has been established for the accommodation, and we kindly request that volunteers respect them. Moreover, volunteers will receive a daily voucher to use at the Campus canteen for meals or a reimbursement for food shopping expenses.

🎒 Leisure activities

The project aims to empower young people to step out of their comfort zones, fostering meaningful connections, breaking down linguistic and mental barriers, and conquering fears and mistrust. Participants will receive an introduction to the tasks, projects, and responsibilities they will undertake. Additionally, specific training opportunities will be tailored based on each participant's responsibilities. To facilitate integration, we offer an Italian basic course and linguistic tandems, allowing volunteers to enhance their language skills throughout the entire duration of the program.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The participants involved will be young people aged between 18 and 30, characterized by a strong motivation and by sharing the values of equality, inclusion, solidarity, openness and dedication to others.
Deadline: Application deadline: 30/07/2023

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).
