📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The project broad aim is to support the creation of an European identity based on solidarity. The volunteers are considered as agents of positive change and active citizens. On one hand, they will contribute to achieve the objective of a more inclusive society, supporting vulnerable people, and on the other hand they will acquire useful competences for their personal, education, social, civic and professional development, therefore improving their employability. Main tasks of the volunteers will be: 1. To participate, together with the educators, to the community’s daily life. The simple daily actions are used by the team as educational tools to create bonds, accompany and support, everyday, the minors’ growth and to reach the educational objectives set for each of them. 2. To go to the Italian language school and be “peer educators”. The volunteers will have the opportunity to learn Italian and, after a while, help other students learn the language.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The four volunteers will live by their own in an apartment with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a balcony. The apartment is in Roma, via Paolo Buzzi 110, close to the houses where the participants will do their service. It is close to a metro station and several buses. Food will be provided in goods, based on a list of food given by the volunteers every week. The volunteers will be given a public transports card which allows them to use all the urban public transports for the whole year.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteers will meet with the tutor once per month and they will be about general topics such as non-formal education, ESC, social assistance system and also about topics specifically related to each participant's experience - personal objectives, expectations, self awareness. The volunteers will also attend the National Agency's trainings.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profil: We are searching for really motivated candidates. The environment in which we work it is not an easy one so we need people who are passionate about children and adolescents. We would like volunteers who want to take on new challenges and to get involved. Volunteers must be minimum 22 years old and it is preferable to know a little bit of italian and to have a driver licence. Nevertheless, these are not discriminatory requirements.
Deadline: No application deadline
