About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Ufficio Progetto Giovani is the Youth Center of the Municipality of Padua, offering services and initiatives in favour of the local youth. We are searching for 2 volunteers for the Volunteering ESC project “YEP! Youth Empowering Padova… and beyond”. The project lasts 10 months (from mid September 2023 to mid July 2024, approximately). Main activities: • linguistic and cultural interactive workshops in the high schools of Padua (using non-formal education methods) • linguistic tandem learning activities • promotion of ESC and of the activities of Progetto Giovani in high schools, informative events for local youngsters, online sessions. Other possible activities: • back-office activities: research of opportunities for youth in EU within the sectors of education, training and volunteering • creation of materials for the promotion and dissemination of the ESC programme (text, audio, video) • organisational support for language and cultural events and workshops (in-person or online).

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be hosted in a flat rented by the Municipality of Padova and located in the city of Padova. The volunteers will have their own bedroom and will share the common spaces (kitchen, bathroom…) with other ESC volunteers. Monthly bus-tram tickets will be provided by the office, and they will be provided with a bike, which is the most advisable way to move around the city. Pocket money and food allowance will be transferred to the volunteers at the beginning of each month.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will participate in two trainings organised by the National Agency: the on arrival training and the mid-term evaluation. The supporting/sending organisations will take care of the pre-departure training and the final evaluation of the experience. A series of specific mentoring sessions and trainings will be scheduled by the Progetto Giovani office to train and support the volunteers during the project.

They shall be proactive, motivated, have good organisational skills and responsibility towards the work schedule and tasks. They shall also be adaptable and flexible, and available to move around the city to reach different work locations.

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).
