About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Comunità Progetto Sud (CPS) is selecting 2 new volunteers for a short-term volunteer opportunity in the local community of Lamezia Terme (Southern Italy). CPS promotes, organizes, and develops socio-educational projects for migrants, children, young people, and adults dealing with education, training, inclusion, and health services. The 2 volunteers will be engaged in two different projects with specific target groups: - project 1: with unaccompanied foreign minors to contribute to their social integration, by participating in their daily life activities (school, sports, culture). - project 2: in a European youth and development center to disseminate European values among people through project design and development and exchange opportunities. Also, volunteers will participate in all cultural and social activities that CPS promotes for all employees and volunteers (such as nonformal education, capacity building,language and culture learning, awareness, and inclusiveness)

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be involved in activities 5 days per week, with a maximum of 35 working hours. They will live together in a small house in Lamezia Terme, 2 km away from the nice city center. The flat is very comfortable and is supplied with all the necessary facilities, including a small garden (https://maps.app.goo.gl/FzizqCkt8Rr4o2KGA). Volunteers will live in a single room and must share common spaces, such as a bathroom and kitchen. The volunteer will receive a 5€/day pocket money and a food pocket to manage and buy food. During activities, they could have lunch with the employees.

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).
