Volunteers do live in double rooms, inside a flat shared with other volunteers in centre of Matera. The flats are between 5 and 10 min walking distance from the city center, and between 10 and 20 min to the hosting organization. The apartments are self-managed by the volunteers who live inside (cleaning, shopping, cooking) and everyone needs to follow the rules. Every volunteer hosted within ESC program receives on a monthly basis pocket money (5€ per day) and food money (155 euro).

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).
