🏢 About the local organisation
The Rising Stars è un'organizzazione no profit fondata nel 2017 da Roberto Saccà, Antonio Giccone e Luciano Spadaro.
Operiamo in settori ad alta rilevanza sociale, grazie alla progettazione europea ed allo sviluppo di percorsi di educazione non formale innovativi e spesso auto finanziati. Riteniamo importante impegnare il nostro tempo e le nostre energie nella comunità locale, al fine di svilupparla, ma allo stesso tempo migliorare la cittadinanza europea dei siciliani. Per raggiungere il nostro obiettivo è stato necessario creare una rete di partner a livello locale (associazioni, scuole, università, Comune di Messina) e a livello internazionale (associazioni, comuni, università), nonché accumulare esperienza organizzando e prendendo parte a numerosi e differenziati progetti, eventi e training individuali, anche attraverso il programma Erasmus+.
TRS fornisce su base giornaliera una serie di servizi fondati sull'educazione non formale ed orientati ai NEET, agli studenti, ai giovani operatori nel campo delle discipline umanistiche, dell'imprenditoria sociale e del volontariato ed a giovani provenienti da situazione di svantaggio (disabilità, povertà, esclusione sociale, migranti, problemi familiari e criminalità). Organizziamo dei workshop di gruppo e degli incontri individuali volti a sviluppare le competenze di base e trasversali, quelle linguistiche e quelle digitali, nonché all'inclusione ed all'aggregazione sociale.
I nostri obiettivi sono:
- Sviluppare il potenziale creativo e le competenze base e trasversali dei giovani;
- Creare le condizioni per un coinvolgimento attivo dei giovani nella vita sociale, economica e culturale della società;
- Supportare le iniziative giovanili in vari settori;
- Sviluppare la cooperazione giovanile internazionale, collaborando con organizzazioni giovanili straniere;
- Cooperare per l'inclusione sociale di giovani con minori opportunità;
- Valorizzare la diversità culturale;
- Migliorare la cittadinanza attiva locale ed europea;
- Aumentare il sentimento europeo tra i giovani.
💼 What the programme involves
The project's activities are equally divided into training and volunteering, they follow a learning by doing approach in the frame of non formal education. Our goal is to offer a period of reflection, where the volunteers can plan their future life according to their true interests.
The aim of the project is to boost volunteers' self-confidence and sense of initiative; to make them gain useful and portable skills and knowledge; to increase their awareness of different cultures; to gain experience in the field of youth work; to experiment different fields (web radio, social media management, coaching, project design, social innovation).
The weekly activities are precisely based on these latter aspects. Volunteers will create podcasts, attractive multimedia content, coaching sessions for disadvantaged young people, discover the world of youth work and have the opportunity to realise their own personal project in the social field.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be housed in a small villa surrounded by greenery just 15 minutes from the centre of Messina. They will have a single room and all facilities at their disposal. In addition to a monthly pocket money, volunteers will be provided with all the food they need to follow a healthy, balanced diet and the possibility to cultivate a vegetable garden.
Volunteers will be provided with a monthly public transport pass and the bus stop is right in front of the house. In addition, a car will always be available in case of need, together with the activities coordinator.
🎒 Leisure activities
Volunteers will benefit from continuous training covering all project activities. They will be equipped with the necessary skills to record, edit and disseminate podcasts; create multimedia content; act as a coach for emotional support; probe the world of youth work, from the basics up to the planning of project proposals aimed at improving their local youth contexts; implement their own personal project with high social impact in Messina. Training will be provided by qualified and motivated staff to identify possible points of contact between the activities and a possible employment outlet.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: The 2 volunteers are youngsters in the age range of 19 to 25 years old, who are classified as NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). We need people who are ready to embrace opportunities for personal growth, skill development, and community engagement. We will also consider their ability to collaborate effectively and adapt to new challenges, ensuring that they are well-prepared to thrive in this transformative project. Perfect candidates have energy, creativity, determination and espouse the cause of effecting positive change in our community.

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).
What do we provide ?
Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
