About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We are looking for two ESC volunteers to be hosted in Brattirò di Drapia, in the area of Vibo Valentia (Calabria, Southern Italy). The volunteers will support the association in its daily activities, taking part in language clubs and informal linguistic exchanges with the local community. They will also contribute to activities with children and young people with disabilities, supporting inclusive educational paths and social participation. Part of the volunteering experience will focus on communication activities, supporting both local and international communication and the promotion of European opportunities. Volunteers will also support a youth participation project (Civic Lab) aimed at encouraging active citizenship and community involvement among young people, together with other non-formal education activities and local initiatives.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be hosted in a shared apartment or room. Food will be provided by the hosting organization. Transportation costs related to project activities will be covered. Pocket money will be provided according to ESC rules.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will receive training and support from the local staff upon arrival. They will also take part in the Arrival Training and Mid-term Evaluation organised by the Italian National Agency. An online Italian language course will be available.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The project is open to volunteers from EU countries who are motivated to learn, contribute and grow through an experience in non-formal education, youth participation, social inclusion and community work. No previous experience is required, but openness, adaptability and willingness to engage with the local community are essential.

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).
