local institutions, foundations and other public or private bodies that have as a goal to create a more equal, fair and united society. Particularly, our partner supports, develops and promotes projects at local, regional, national and
international level. Among its activities there are volunteering projects, intercultural exchanges, sport and cultural activities, workshops, trainings, leisure activities, seminars, etc.

📍 About the location
Bologna, an Italian city rich in history and culture, is located in the region of Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy. Founded by the Etruscans over 2,500 years ago, it has played a significant role in Italian history as an economic, political, and cultural center. Bologna is famous for its magnificent medieval architecture, cobblestone streets, iconic towers, and its university, one of the oldest in the world, founded in 1088.
Geographically, the city is situated at the crossroads of major transportation routes in northern Italy, making it an important hub for trade and exchanges for centuries. Its strategic location between the northern and southern regions of Italy has made it a meeting point for diverse cultures and traditions.
Regarding the nonprofit sector, Bologna is home to a multitude of nonprofit organizations, charitable associations, cultural, environmental, and social organizations. These organizations play a vital role in the community life of the city, offering social, cultural, and educational services to residents and promoting social inclusion, solidarity, and environmental sustainability. Additionally, many association groups organize cultural events, festivals, and community initiatives that contribute to enriching the social and cultural life of the city.
🎒 Leisure activities
In Bologna, there's no shortage of leisure activities to indulge in. From exploring the historic city center with its medieval streets and iconic landmarks, to savoring the renowned local cuisine at traditional trattorias and gelaterias, there's something for everyone. You can immerse yourself in the city's vibrant cultural scene by visiting museums, attending wine tastings, or taking a cooking class to learn the secrets of Italian cuisine. For those seeking relaxation, the city's parks offer tranquil retreats, while the bustling markets and lively nightlife provide endless entertainment options. Whether you're a foodie, art enthusiast, or outdoor adventurer, Bologna offers a memorable experience filled with charm and excitement.
⚠️ Requirements
Volunteer profile:
Our partner would like to host volunteers who already have some knowledge and experience in communication and ICT, as they would like to improve this and receive new inputs. Any practical knowledge about websites, e-learning, videos, photography, blogging, social networks... is more than welcome! Also, any education competences will be appreciated too.
Our partner is looking for young people motivated and enthusiastic about media and communication. This means also to be able to transfer your passion and knowledge to other people, as we often carry out courses for young people and adults about soft skills and you can contribute both in the preparation and implementation. All together, volunteers will develop some common projects, p.e. the video about the activities, radio interviews, public language tandems, events... All volunteers should contribute to the visibility of the project and of the ESC programme.

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).
