🏢 About the local organisation

Joint, founded in December 2003, is one of the biggest and most innovative Youth Association in Italy. It is the Italian member of ICYE global network, the coordinator of the Italian Network for European Volunteering (RIVE) and the coordinator of an informal network recognized by the European Union counting on 232 international partners. Joint focus on providing learning opportunities to young people through international experiences such as European Solidarity Corps, International volunteering, Work Camps, local and international Training Courses, Youth Exchanges and Capacity Building Projects focusing on advocacy, active participation, intercultural learning, social entrepreneurship and sustainable tourism. The mission of the association is to provide non-formal education opportunities for young people through international mobility, with the final goal of supporting them becoming active and attentive citizens of the world. Association main office is in Milano where Joint can count on 8 full time and 3 part-time workers plus one ESC intern, 3 civil servants and a group of over 30 local volunteers.

Joint developed and currently manages some of the most known websites of international mobility opportunities in Italy and in Europe, reaching over 150.000 people every month through websites, social medias and newsletters. We currently coordinate 18 ESC/EVS HOs across Italy and cooperate with several local organisations and networks. This cooperation helps us to foster high local impact of mobility activities. In Milan for example, we cooperate with the local network of Youth Centres (CAGs) as we coordinate 4 of them in ESC, hosting a total of 10 ESC volunteers.

Since 2015 Joint is involved also in the coordination of work camps and international volunteering activities outside the realm of E+, creating strong connections outside of Europe: for this reason, since 2017, we are the official Italian member of the ICYE worldwide network focusing in particular on overseas long term volunteering.

💼 What the programme involves

The One cooperative aims to contribute to the socio-cultural and economic improvement of the area in which it operates through various initiatives: language and job training, innovative workshops for minors, activities to combat educational poverty, promotion of the local area, non-hotel hospitality, and the dissemination of a new concept of economy. It invests in young people while also supporting adults. The volunteers will help with the management of the hostel which will include: tourist reception and taking care of open spaces. They will also participate in activities in a farm and learn how to cook with local products, activities with migrants and an organisation that provide food for people in need, they will know more about the ukrainian community living in Crotone and also they will write articles for the local newspaper and create contents for social media. There will also be the opportunity to participate in comics workshops, local dance classes & exchange of traditions.

ℹ️ Additional information

On arrival training: first 7 days - organized by the coordinating organization Associazione Joint. Mid-term evaluation filling a form. Final evaluation with Youhpass Certificate - 2 days

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).
