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 Campus is like a small international village, with houses and canteens for students from all over the world. 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 in our community, engaging in local activities and projects while learning about welcoming practices, language exchanges, digital communication, and organizing cultural events. They will promote the mobility desk's activities, to do office and receptionist work, promote EU programs and values during meetings with locals, help interested people in English language.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is available in a shared flat within the university area, the rooms will be shared among the volunteers. The apartment is conveniently located within a reasonable distance from the office and workspaces, in order to go to work by foot or by bicycle. For activities trips they will receive bus tickets, bus station is inside the Campus. Utilities, wifi and basic home furniture will be provided. A set of rules has been established for the accommodation, and we kindly request that volunteers respect it. Moreover, volunteers will receive a monthly amount for food shopping expenses.

🎒 Leisure activities

Participants will receive an on-arrival training and a mid-term one. Additionally, specific training opportunities will be tailored based on each participant's responsibilities. To facilitate linguistic integration, volunteers will have an Italian basic course, exchanges and tandems with locals. The focus behind the project is double: allow development of the creativity of young people by giving them the opportunity to test ideas and tools in their topics of interest; the second focus is about professional skills and competences that participants will acquire in the field of youth work.

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).
