🏢 About the local organisation

L'Associazione InformaGiovani a été fondée en 2001 à l'initiative d'un groupe de bénévoles qui géraient le desk InformaGiovani de la ville de Palerme. A partir de septembre 2024, c'est un ETS – Organisme du Tiers Secteur, inscrit au Registre Unique National spécifique.
Aujourd'hui, l'Association est l'organe de coordination d'un Réseau européen pour le volontariat social qui compte 16 membres dans 14 pays de l'Union européenne et des partenariats avec des organisations de tous les continents.

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).
