📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
"Youthful Europe Action" is a 6-12 months ESC project, it involves two volunteers aged 18-30. Helping and learning by doing in solidarity are the two principles of the proposed project. The aim is to increase the social well-being of the community by helping people with greater difficulties, especially young people, through daily support activities and promoting youth participation and social inclusion. The main activity is youth animation and after school support, which will take place mainly within the local youth centre. Other activities involve running seminars and workshops, sport and art activities for young people; running language clubs; producing podcasts for the local web radio; promoting European values and youth opportunities; creation/organisation of Erasmus+ projects (youth exchanges, training courses). Due to the nature of the activities and the local social context a basic/medium knowledge of Italian is required.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Travel to Italy and back, accommodation, local transports and food expenses are covered by the project. Local transfers will be mainly within walkable distance, local urban services are available if necessary. The volunteers will stay in an apartment not far from the activities site, single and shared bedrooms are available, with shared bathroom, kitchen and living room.
🎒 Leisure activities
At the arrival there will be an appointed tutor and mentor who will welcome and suppor the volunteers, discuss personal competences, interests, needs, characteristics and together they will define the mission. Further support will be provided if necessary. A specific training on the tasks that the volunteer will carry out will be the main focus of the initial part of his staying. Depending on the specific activity the appropriate tools and knowledge will be shared and provided. A language course is available through the OLS tool.
