📝 Detailed information

🏢 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

EUtopia is a reality immersed in the countryside of Northern Italy. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with nature and give new life to the structure and the land around it, with the idea of making it a safe and inclusive place for highly Vulnerable young people in future European exchange and volunteering projects. The idea is for volunteers to get in touch with the local community, know the history and castles of the surrounding area. Important: physical team work will be requested. Main activities: Renovating of the farmhouse; Upcycling activities; Green maintenance; Cooking; Sport activities and Physical health (bike ride; swimming pool; football; etc..)

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation: It will be a logistically challenging environment. Large structure divided into living and sleeping area. There are several bedrooms that will be shared by volunteers (3 or more in each room) and only 3 bathrooms will be available (only 2 bathrooms have hot water). In case you can also use a camping tent. 

🍲 Food

Food: the volunteers will help our staff cooking through working shifts.

ℹ️ Additional information

Pocket money: 17€ per day (the traveling expenses, Visa and insurance costs are NOT included). Traveling expenses: not provide.

The chosen person will get training on all required tasks. The tasks are practical and their impact will affect the improvement of the place. The basic information will be discussed together during training times, upon arrival, and during the month. Photos and videos will be required to document the activities during the month.

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).
