About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our project will take place in Palermo from April 2023 to October 2024 and will last 9 months. It will involve 8 young people between 18-30 years old. The general objective of our project is to increase the awareness of young people on the value of non-formal education, as an instrument of active participation and social inclusion, providing them with opportunities for personal and professional growth. The specific objectives are: - To increase the levels of well-being and opportunities for educational growth for minors from the Ballarò and Zen neighbourhoods of Palermo, in particular for those in situations of social\cultural\economic fragility, involving schools, families, third sector and institutions. -To enhance the knowledge and skills of young volunteers on the issue of gender empowerment, countering all forms of violence and gender stereotypes. -To promote the inclusion of migrants, through: work inclusion; housing autonomy and creation of stable social network.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will live in an apartment in the historic city centre of Palermo (Sicily), near the Central station. You will share the flat with other volunteers coming from different countries and sharing the experience with you. The house is equipped, but please bring with you some bedsheets and towels. Volunteers will receive a pocket money for personal expenses and a monetary contribution for the food every month.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will take part in the trainings (on arrival /mid-term evaluation) organised by the Italian National Agency, either in Rome or online.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The target audience of our projects will be between 18 and 30 years of age. Particular attention will be given to to the reception of young NEETs with the aim of enabling this target group, through mobility and experience of non-formal learning, to reconnect with education or training, and to make contact with the world of work. We also want to support the mobility of young volunteers who engage with other organisations that work with people at risk of social exclusion.
Deadline: Application deadline: 01/05/2023

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).
