📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Wallriders is an ESC (European Solidarity Corps) volunteering team project that aims to create a group of volunteers working on the organization and planning of the fifth edition of Wallride Festival. The project is based on two beliefs: the first is that a cultural event possesses great educational power; the second is that hip-hop culture is a great tool for addressing the issue of inequality and social marginality in an attractive and interesting way. "Wallride" is the most important underground festival in the South of Italy. Born in 2015 as a 2-day event in which to give space to underground youth cultures in its various forms. 21 volunteers from all over Europe will be hosted: 6 from Italy and 15 from other countries. They will work for both event preparation and event management based on a division into "areas": market; food and drink; stage; skateboarding; breaking; expo; freestyle; parkour; boulder; kids area; freestyle battle; press area.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be lodged in two large apartments close to Altamura city center. Participants will receive food money (40 euros per week) and pocket money (5 euros per day). Money will be transferred in different tranches on participants bank accounts. Altamura is reachable by plane, train and bus. Link association will support participants in finding the best itinerary based on their exigences. All travel expenses are covered by the European budget. More detailed information are retrievable in the Infopack.

🎒 Leisure activities

The first days of the project will be dedicated to the introduction of the program and to share some information about event planning and hip-hop culture. Also, volunteers will be guided in several team-building activities and into an introduction to Italian culture and language.

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).
