Resumo: The host organization is located in a multicultural city of more than 200.000 inhabitants, among which many immigrants from all over the world. The city offers to youth many encounter possibilities and rich cultural occasions. The city hosts one of the oldest University in Italy which counts more than 60.000 people enrolled, including students from other Italian regions or other countries.
The Erasmus Association is very active in town, and works to favour encounters between Italian students and foreigner ones: the occasions for the hosted volunteers to meet their peers coming from different socio-cultural backgrounds will be frequent. The city is also a remarkable tourist destination due to its abundance of artistic and cultural heritage and the proximity with the city.
The organization is situated in the historical down town of the city, which hosts the homonymous auditorium and the municipal library.
Perfil: The ideal volunteer for our hosting project should have a strong motivation for the thematic, the objectives
and the proposed activities of the project, as well as a marked attitude to interpersonal relationships.
Volunteers who have relational attitudes toward children, and who are open to meeting and co-operating with youth, will be particularly valued. Availability to commitment and proactivity in taking part to the project are implicit requirements that could facilitate the volunteers’ engagement in the working team, and help them in achieving the project objectives.
Eventual past experiences in contexts similar to the ones proposed for the project will be also appreciated.
We suggest a basic knowledge of the Italian language. The language proficiency can facilitate the volunteers in establishing a relationship with the service users since the very beginning of the activities. The linguistic training which will endure for the whole service duration will be useful to enrich their personal vocabulary and improve their language mastery, allowing the volunteers to feel more confident in their interpersonal relationships with youth and the services co-ordinators.
The volunteers selection is open to any youth aged between 18 and 30, female and male. No specific qualification is required, but considering the kind of activities the volunteers will be called to develop, we will positively value the following attitudes:
– predisposition to human interpersonal relationship;
– good motivation to the project themes and proactivity;
– interest in the projects developed by the distinct areas of engagement;
– adaptation skills and capacity to manage the work schedule and tasks.
Tarefas: The project activities will involve the volunteers mostly in the following service areas:
• Linguistic Area
• Animazione Area
• Europe Corner Area
LINGUISTIC AREA
• Tandem Language Learning between Italian and foreign youth to deepen or improving mutual linguistic knowledge.
• Workshops in the local schools: the volunteers will hold intercultural language workshops in several schools of Padua. Thanks to the long cooperation between Progetto Giovani and local schools, volunteers will develop, with the teachers, various lessons and workshops for the students of 3th- 4th-5th classes of high schools. These workshops will be held in the volunteers’ mother tongue, or in English, and the main topics will concern European dimension and citizenship, their own countries (traditions and customs) and the other topics of school subjects.
ANIMATION
• organisational support to the street animation staff to promote city events, cultural initiatives, (concerts, exibitions, etc.) involving youth.
• After school activities for underage people with fewer opportunities.
We will value the volunteers’ involvement within the Social Services sector on the basis of their personal attitudes, and taking in account the effective possibility to activate the services
EUROPE CORNER
• participation to guidance seminars and meetings addressed to youth (target of the Erasmus Plus programme - in particular secondary schools students) bringing testimonies of their EVS experience;
• organisational support for the activities of the hosted Youth Exchanges,
• support in the dissemination of the possibilities addressed to youth in the EU countries in the areas of volunteering, education, job searching and leisure.
Activities proposed by volunteers during the last years
• front-office hours extension for reaching more youth;
• workshops realisation (i.e. music, recycling, photography, cultural tours within the city);
• individual or group language laboratories;
• intercultural evening organisation to introduce the volunteer’s country of origin or project.
• realisation of intercultural initiatives and collaboration to the dissemination of texts or audio-video material about EVS experiences, also in collaboration with other European youth;
• project writing for intercultural exchanges which could involve the volunteer’s country of origin or other
sending organisation.
Horário: The amount of working hours requested to volunteers will be of 35 hours per week, depending on the effective activities organised by the services. Therefore in some period of the year it could be asked a higher commitment for the implementation of the proposals within an area of service, which will be balanced with a lighter load of work in another ambit The schedule will be jointly agreed between volunteers and the services responsible and will take in consideration the commuting time to move from a working seat to another.
