About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Zō Associazione culturale runs a multidisciplinary culture center called Zō centro culture contemporanee, in the south of Italy (Catania, Sicily). During the year, Zō is programming and producing cultural events (theatre and dance performances, concerts, cinema projections, festivals, laboratories, workshops...), with a particular attention to the education and the social innovation. We are looking for two volunteers for a long term volunteering project (12 months) starting in February 2025, interested in supporting our team in the daily routine, willing to help us managing and promoting our events ( communication and photo and video documentation ), curious to learn how to set up theatre/dance performances and concerts (always with the help and under the supervision of our technical director).

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be accommodated in a shared apartment located in the center of the city, equipped with all common facilities (fully equipped kitchen, internet, washing machine) and will have their own rooms. Zō will provide a food allowance to the volunteers, therefore they will have the possibility to cook they own meal in the flat or to eat in one of the many restaurants in Catania.

🎒 Leisure activities

Italian class provided by the public library. The volunteers will have the possibility to participate in most of the workshops organized in the cultural center.

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).
