About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The hosting organizations are two community centers, coordinated by the same association, offering the residents a space for information, social counseling and organization of communitarian activities. Their goal is to create a welcoming neighborhood, set up social networks in the community, provide advice in psycho-social challenges and foster civic engagement. Different activities are organised in order to share and develop ideas and motivate neighbours to follow a healthy lifestyle and promote sustainability, as the development of a food sharing network, campaigns against food waste and keeping in community gardening initiatives. You’ll assist the centers’ teams in organizing community events, getting in touch with people coming from different backgrounds and generations, and taking actions about sustainability, particularly in food sharing networks in order to reduce food waste.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The hosting organization will make available for you a room at a student's dormitory. There is the opportunity either to use a provided bicycle to reach the community centers, or to use public transports (tickets will be given), since both locations are reachable by bus or tram. You will receive a food allowance of 250 euros per month, and a pocket money of 180 euros per month. The travel expenses from your hometown to Austria will be fully reimbursed. An insurance provided by the European Union will cover you from any possible risk.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will attend three official training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy, an on-arrival training in a few weeks after your advent in Austria, and a mid-term training around the half of the volunteering experience. You will have the possibility to attend a German course.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for an open-minded, communicative, proactive and self-organised volunteer, eager to work in team. You must be interested in the domain of community work oriented to foster local sustainability. The ideal candidate should possess previous experiences with office suite and social media platforms, together with some knowledge of pedagogical and social work, and be motivated to learn German language.
Deadline: Application deadline: 30/06/2023

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).
