Resumo: Special considerations about the Host organization: ASSB is located in the city of Bolzano, South-Tyrol.
This region is very special seen that it has a particular history and it's bilingual (Italian and German).
The local culture has Austrian basis. Most of the activities are developed in Italian but German is also
always present.

Perfil: The project is open to those with a special interest and sensibility with elderly people
and could bring new energy and enthusiasm to the host organization, helping to improve the life quality
of the guests and enriching the free-time activities’ possibilities. Once that the volunteers will be
permanently in contact with elders, they should be patient, respect their rhythm, be keen to have
interpersonal relations, available to listen and have certain initiative and creativeness. Basic knowledge
of Italian and/or German would be important to facilitate the integration of volunteers, specially taking
into consideration the bilingual situation of the region and the service. The volunteer should be ready to
learn Italian/German and get deeply engaged.

Tarefas: Volunteers will participate in the activities of the house of elderlies being in close contact with old people who will so be able to enjoy the presence and the help of the youngsters who will, as well, learn how to have a relationship with old people in need, growing both in terms of personal and professional life, thanks to a growing number of gradual responsibilities.
Volunteers will organize and carry out projects regarding activities with old people; such projects can include, for example, a day to explain their culture of origin, bearing in mind an intercultural communication approach. Once volunteers are more integrated in the house of elderlies environment (even though always assisted by the staff of Civica), they will be able to carry out such activities in an autonomous way. They will learn how to trust and use their capacities and knowledge. Moreover the possibility of being abroad, away from their family and friends and needing to use a different language to communicate, facing a different reality, is a possibility to think about oneself, opening to a new reality and to grow as individuals.

Horário: Volunteers will develop their activities for 30 hours per week distributed in 5 days, with 2 consecutive days off from work (normally on Saturdays and Sundays; if the volunteers will take part in the activities carried out in the week end they will take other days off during the week). Volunteers need to be flexible, also in terms of going out from the house of elderlies for the development of the activities (i.e. meeting other organization, taking out guests, etc.). In special occasions to be agreed with the staff and for a maximum of 5 bank holidays during the whole experience activities can also be carried out if so wished. A possible weekly timetable could be from 9-12 and from 14:30-17:30. The project will take place in the four structures: San Bartolomeo; "Angeli Custodi" in via della Collina; Stella del Mattino" in Gardolo; and the structure in Gabbiolo.

To be more practical, a typical day of a volunteer in Civica could be:
Mondays to Fridays
9.00 - organization of the daily activities
9.30 - development of the programmed activities
12.00 - 14.30 - lunch break
14.30 - activities with guests
Details about the activities could change a lot and depend from different factors such as weather, season, health condition of the guests, special need, etc. Activities will always be discussed together with the staff of the houses of elderlies. Besides assisting the elderlies, activities could involve:
" table game (bingo, chess, cards, etc.)
" manual activities (painting, gardening, etc.)
" cultural activities (cinema, art exhibitions, going to the museum, discussions about different topics, etc.)
" learning activities: word games
For example a weekly timetable could be:

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
Mornings Planning Bingo Cards Manual activities Reading the newspaper, discussing a topic
Afternoons Cultural activities Word games
Preying Bingo Cinema
