ESC: Volunteer in a residential community for minors in Equality, Italy
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Youth for Equality je organizácia založená na Slovensku ako miestna mládežnícka iniciatíva s cieľom realizovať pozitívne zmeny a rozvíjať aktivity na miestnej, ale aj medzinárodnej úrovni v oblasti vzdelávania, trhu práce, ochrany ľudských práv a životného prostredia pre osobný a profesijný rozvoj mládeže a ich integrácie do spoločnosti.
Poskytujeme poradenstvo a organizujeme miestne workshopy pre mládež s cieľom poskytnúť im informácie ohľadom rôznych príležitostí v oblasti štúdia a kariéry na lokálnej, národnej a medzinárodnej úrovni. Naše kampane zahŕňajú prezentácie o projektoch Erasmus+ (v oblasti mládežníckych výmen aj info o písaní vlastného projektu a založení organizácie), stáže, EDS, EZS rôznych podnikateľských programoch či pracovných príležitostiach a diskusie v týchto témach. Aj v rámci programu Erasmus+ podporujeme oblasť podnikania mládeže a podnikateľské kompetencie v oblasti inovácií pre mládež (workshopy na písanie podnikateľských plánov, podpory podnikania, životopisov) a taktiež spolupracujeme s mladými s nevýhodnenými životnými podmienkami. Aktivity organizácie umožňujú mladým ľuďom podniknúť pozitívne kroky a účinne sa rozvíjať. Zameriavajú sa na zlepšenie požadovaných zručností a vedomostí, aby sa stali úspešnými v oblasti podnikania. Zaoberáme sa enviromentálnymi otázkami, v tejto téme aktívne realizujeme udalosti a spolupracujeme na organizácii dobrovoľníckych podujatí nielen na Slovensku, ale aj v zahraničí (zdieľanie a šírenie témy odpadov a celkovo v oblasti ekológie, prezentovanie eko-friendly návykov, workshopy šitia, workshopy na výrobu vlastnej kozmetiky). Ďalšie aktivity a projekty sú založené na podporovaní aktívneho občianstva a angažovanosti v demokratickom živote Európskej Únie, podpore slovenskej kultúry a tradícií v multikultúrnom prostredí. Podporujeme sociálnu inklúziu - organizujeme program pre ľudí bez domova, zbierky oblečenia; propagácia dobrovoľníckych služieb počas stretnutí, ktoré sú na tému Erasmus+ a EVS, spolupráca s detským domovom a zapájanie sa do aktivít pre deti. Aktuálne rozbiehanie aktivít spojenie seniorov a mladých ľudí a tvorenie mládežníckeho centra. V spolupráci s európskymi združeniami organizujeme stretnutia týkajúce sa problematiky utečencov v oblasti ľudských práv.
💼 What the programme involves
We work for the social integration of people living in uneasiness and social marginalization with special attention to people involved in prostitution, victims of trafficking in human beings for sexual or labour exploitation, minors and young adults in specific conditions of vulnerability. The proposed activities for the volunteers will mainly be directed to the minors hosted in our residential care house. The volunteers will primarily support the educators’ job with unaccompanied minors, victims of human trafficking, minors who committed juvenile penalties and vulnerable minors with: the creation of an environment where it is possible to build social ties and relationships based on respect, sharing and legality, domestic activities such as cooking, cleaning and management of the rules within the house, accompaniment to autonomy of the beneficiaries, accompaniment to social-health services, organization of workshops, orientation and support for research and work placement.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteer will live in a shared flat in Padova with other international volunteers or local/Italian people, will live in a single or double room upon availability and have the use of a kitchen, bathroom and of the common spaces of the house (wi-fi is not always guaranteed). He/She will monthly receive some money to buy food and the pocket money. He/She will have a bus card to move around in the city.
🎒 Leisure activities
A part from the OLS provided by the program, we will offer internal Italian course and help the volunteer to find an integrative Italian language course in Padova, if needed. The volunteer will receive specific training about the topic of integration of refugees and related topics (educative relationship and educative projects, team working, mediation of conflicts, participative tools).
⚠️ Requirements
