Resumo: The project's environment, in which the volunteers will develop their activities, are the SOS-houses.
The suggested voluntary activities inside our institution are basically 2:
" supporting everyday-life activities in the Villaggio's houses together with the "SOS mothers": educational support (accompanying to school, helping with homework); collaborating with maintenance of the house (supporting meals, helping to organize things, etc)
" organizing and promoting and free-time activities: entertainment: promoting games, sports, cultural activities, music workshops, painting, visit in a museum, etc. (all the creative ideas to enrich this activities are very welcome!)

The competences and attitudes we expect the volunteers to acquire during the service are the followings:
" intercultural sensitiveness and knowledge in intercultural communication
" competences in the organization and coordination of projects
" abilities in leading and coordinating groups
" knowledge about new socio-cultural realities which are different from their own one
" possibility to discover and widen new professional skills developing voluntary service in a non-profit organization
" development of a social useful work with children and youngsters
" competences concerning the social work with children and youngsters (especially those living in difficult realities)
" sensitiveness concerning the rights of the children
" improvement of abilities in the field of animation and promotion of recreational activities (free-time activities but also pedagogical and educational ones)
" personal growth: independence, self-confidence etc.

During the performance of the recreational and educational activities, the volunteers will have the possibility to organize and carry out projects related to their own culture, to the aspect of intercultural communication and any other topic they think would be appropriated. When they will have acquired confidence with the guests of the SOS houses and the hosting project in general, they can develop their projects independently in the moment they would like to. They will always be supported and guided by the "SOS mothers" and the other collaborators of Villaggio in the house they are.

The volunteers will learn to work autonomously and to rely on their capacities and knowledge, developing self-confidence. Besides that, the opportunity of being abroad, without the family and usual friends, using a different language and facing a different reality will give them the chance to reflect, to open their mind and to grow up as individuals.

Perfil: - basic knowledge of Italian (which could facilitate the initial integration of the volunteers in the activities);
- knowledge of other foreign languages (like French or English
- which could be useful in helping children with their homework)
- must have driving license (which could be useful supporting eventual transport and/or accompaniment of children).

Tarefas: The main role of the volunteers is to collaborate with the staff of the house, developing the activities which will be entrusted, collaborating with the support of the children and youngsters hosted in the Villaggio.

The volunteers - as well as the educators - are the "big family" for the children. The volunteers will never be alone carrying out the activities and will never be forced to do something they don't want to.

They will be there as VOLUNTEERS, therefore, they will not substitute the place of social workers or pedagogues.
The duties of our volunteers will always include helping the "SOS mothers" to organize the every-day-life activities (supporting homework, accompanying children from the school, etc) and to contribute actively in the organization and coordination of recreational and educational activities (e.g. games inside and outside the house, handicraft activities, swimming, cinema, music workshops, etc).

Horário: A hypothetical time table could be as it follows (around 7 hours a day and 35 hours a week, never more):
10.00 -12.00 - collaboration with activities of the house and accompanying children
12.00 - 14.00 - Lunch together with the children and staff
14.00 - 19.00 - Supervision of the homework or preparation of free-time activities; coordinating the free-time activities
19.00 - End of working day
Usually the volunteers will work 5 days a week, having 2 days off.

The working days won't be always from Monday to Friday: there will be shifts in which the volunteers will participate also in the weekend's activities. In those cases, the volunteers will have some extra days off in the following week.
