📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
In this supervised group project, you will join other volunteers from Austria to support the team of the social cooperative "undicesimaora". This social organisation aims to reintegrate people into the labour market by offering them work in a solidarity-based carpentry workshop. Your task is to support the association in its work so that you can learn a lot about repairing and maintaining furniture, furnishings, works of art, antiques, etc. The project offers you the opportunity to work in a carpentry workshop. It will provide you with the opportunity to try your hand at working with wood and to produce your own creative ideas and products.
Throughout the time you will live with the group and be supported by group leaders. This month you will stay in beautiful Senigallia on the Italian coast and get to know the Italian way of life. As this is a guided project, it is also possible to participate if you have some challenges of different kinds to overcome.
🏠 Accommodation on site
During the project, you will live together with the other volunteers and the group leaders in an accommodation in Senigallia. Accommodation is in shared rooms, so please be prepared for this.
Meals will be organised within the group with a provided budget. The group cooks and shops together and shares the tasks among themselves.
The travel will be organised by us, the CUBIC association. Of course, we will discuss this with you beforehand and make the bookings for you.
In addition, you will receive pocket money of 5€ per day, which will be paid to you weekly and is at your free disposal.
🎒 Leisure activities
You will take part in an On-Arrival Training in the first two days after your arrival where you will get to know the group, reflect on your own strengths and goals and clarify everything you need for the coming month.
In addition, there is a language course to provide an introduction to basic Italian.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: You should enjoy physical work, but also appreciate creative work. It would also be important if you are flexible and like to work in a group. Please note that there are shared rooms. The project is a small group project where a group of four to six volunteers accompanied by two social workers will live and work together. Accordingly, it is okay if you have challenges to overcome and might not be able to cope with them in another project. This can also be discussed during an interview. Attention: Please also note that the project is only open for volunteers living in Austria.
Deadline: Application deadline: 23/03/2023
