📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

TDM 2000 is a non profit, independent organization active in different fields such as volunteering, youth policies, entrepreneurship, human rights, democracy, intercultural learning, active citizenship, non formal education, international cooperation and local development.
It's recognized by the Sardinian Regional Government as a volunteering body, and can count on a number of local and international level, such as entrepreneurs and business associations, Universities, Municipalities, Local Governmental bodies, local networks about volunteering and youth mobility, schools and private companies, as well as other organizations and bodies.
The organization is active since the year 2000, promoting personal and professional development of young people, through local and international activities. All of its actions are thought and planned to give the chance to the participants to interact and act in coordinated strategies with their own social, cultural and economical environment, in order to be main actors in their community.
The organization promotes cooperation and intercultural exchange through numerous international mobility activities, such as youth exchanges, seminars, volunteering, Strategic Partnerships, Erasmus for young entrepreneurs internships, and projects with other programmes such as Europe for citizens and Erasmus Sport.

💼 What the programme involves

This project aims to create a volunteering team that will 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 participation and wellbeing. The team will be international and local volunteers. International Summer Week, 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 23 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.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The project, funded by European Commission's ESC, covers part of the travel costs (depending on the distance between the venue and the home country of the participant, following the rules of the programme), covers food, accommodation and, where relevant, local transports, and guarantees mentoring, a monthly pocket money and international medical insurance.

ℹ️ Additional information

The volunteers will receive on-spot training delivered by the coordinating organization on the following topics: Non-formal education; ESC and volunteering programs; Cultural diversity and intercultural learning; Conflict Management; Sardinian and Italian culture; Information about the project; Youthpass and learning; Task-related specific competencies.

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).
