About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The cooperative focuses on welcoming and integration, social accompaniment aimed at the recovery of autonomy, conflict mediation, community development, and urban regeneration. In particular, the volunteer will be involved in the area of inclusion and community development. LabSestante Officina di Comunità, established in 2018, serves as the operational and project headquarters of the Il Sestante Cooperative. It is a space dedicated to participation, inclusion, and community development. The aims of this area are to promote well-being through art and active citizenship, and to take care of spaces and relationships in urban regeneration and social mediation projects. Volunteers will be involved in the organization and implementation of activities such as events, workshops, and projects dedicated to intercultural, intergenerational, and active citizenship topics.

🏠 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 room 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).

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).
