About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Vitality 2026 is an ESC volunteering project in rural Italy with one big mission: to help bring new life to the Alta Langa region. Volunteers will actively contribute to making the area more vibrant and visible. A special focus of this year’s project will be the renovation and development of Casa Parco, a future cultural hub for artists, local residents, and community activities. With practical hands-on work you will be part of turning an old building into a place where culture, creativity and community can grow.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in a shared apartment in Monesiglio, with shared rooms and all the basic essentials for a comfortable everyday life. The apartment includes the main facilities needed for the stay, and accommodation costs are fully covered by the organisation. Volunteers will also receive a monthly pocket money and food allowance. Travel costs for the journey to and from the project are also reimbursed at the end of the experience, according to ESC distance rules.

🎒 Leisure activities

During the project, volunteers will receive training and support throughout the experience. They will take part in the On-Arrival Training and Mid-Term Evaluation in Rome, organised by the Italian National Agency, together with other ESC volunteers in Italy. In addition, at the beginning of the project, volunteers will receive a local onboarding with the coordinator to help them settle in, understand the project, and start their experience with clarity and support.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for volunteers who are proactive, creative, and ready to be part of something real. This project is for young people who are curious about rural life, ready for challenge, and willing to take initiative instead of waiting for things to happen. A good participant for Vitality is someone who can enjoy both the exciting moments and the quieter ones, work well with others, adapt to small-town life, and bring their own ideas, energy, and contribution to the region.
Deadline: 31/08/2026 23:59

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).
