About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The project's broad aim is to support the creation of a European identity based on solidarity. The volunteers are considered agents of positive change and active citizens. On one hand, they will contribute to achieving the objective of a more inclusive society, supporting vulnerable people, and on the other hand they will acquire useful competences for their personal, educational, social, civic, and professional development, therefore improving their employability. The main tasks of the volunteers will be: 1. To participate, together with the educators, in the community’s daily life. The simple daily actions are used by the team as educational tools to create bonds, accompany and support, every day, 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 volunteers will live on 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. The volunteers will be given a public transport card which allows them to use all the urban public transport for the whole year and a pocket money of 150 euros per month.

🎒 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, and 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 training.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are searching for really motivated candidates. The environment in which we work 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 get involved. Volunteers must be minimum of 22 years old and it is preferable to know a little bit of Italian and to have a driver's license. Nevertheless, these are not discriminatory requirements.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
