About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This project aims at creating a Volunteering Team that can help with the execution of an international youth event that will take place in Sardinia, Italy, during the summer, in order to promote local traditions and culture, intercultural communication and understanding, youth activism and sustainable tourism. The team will be composed by 10 volunteers from Italy and 10 from other countries. The International Summer Week event, which has been going on for over 20 years, aims to bring together youth and youth workers from more than 40 different countries for a weeklong journey through Sardinia, with a mix of education and cultural activities. It averages 150 participants each year. The volunteers will commit to their duties for 27 days and assist with the planning, execution, and evaluation of the event. They will also support internal and external communication, logistics, information outreach, participant engagement, and facilitation of targeted activities.

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).
