🏢 About the local organisation

L'Associazione InformaGiovani a été fondée en 2001 à l'initiative d'un groupe de bénévoles qui géraient le desk InformaGiovani de la ville de Palerme. A partir de septembre 2024, c'est un ETS – Organisme du Tiers Secteur, inscrit au Registre Unique National spécifique.
Aujourd'hui, l'Association est l'organe de coordination d'un Réseau européen pour le volontariat social qui compte 16 membres dans 14 pays de l'Union européenne et des partenariats avec des organisations de tous les continents.

Volunteers will create photocultural installations and participate in urban regeneration activities. From July 11-13, they will assist in setting up a rock music festival at Magazzino Culturale, preparing outdoor areas and maintaining the space. The aim is to engage the local community through art, music, and culture.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will live in a flat and sleep in shared rooms of 3-4 beds, divided by gender. The volunteers, divided into groups and working in shifts, will manage and clean the house and the Warehouse, and prepare meals in a common kitchen.

🍲 Food

All meals will be prepared and eaten in a common room in the Warehouse.

🎒 Leisure activities

Milena is a small village in the province of Caltanissetta. The village is located in a rural mountainous context at 423 m above sea level. Like most remote Sicilian villages, it is served by a limited number of public transport services, so the organization of free time could be limited to visiting nearby places or organizing excursions out of town.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Volunteers should like the idea of living in a small town and experiencing community life. Interest in manual work and agriculture is required. All volunteers receive a daily pocket money of EUR 6.
Deadline: 06/06/2025 12:00

🤝 Meeting point

Big cities are not easy to reach, so during their free time volunteers will have to organise excursions by public transport, adapting to the few possibilities available.

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).
