Resumo: Animation of the Youth Center, promoting EVS and other mobility programmes, working in schools with non formal learning activities, weekly radio-broadcast, halping in running international projects.

Perfil: We prefer MALE volunteers but girls can also apply. We prefer someone with basic knowledge of animation skills. Open minded, flexible, available to experiment new things, curious, energetic.

Tarefas: The volunteers will be engaged in the preparation, implementation and evaluation of the following activities:
- information activities: meetings with students, associations, informal groups for promoting the ¡§Youth in Action¡¨ Programme and the european values; running a radio programme with music and news about Europe and youth; creating a monthly publication on youth topics.
- cultural events: organising thematic debates with movies, intercultural parties, etc.;
- creativity educational workshops based on the method of Bruno Munari; workshops for learning the local history through games and manual activities; workshops on environmental topics organised in cooperation with local schools and associations;
- inclusion workshops: by using non-formal education and different art techniques (painting, photography, video) in cooperation with local organizations, the association and the volunteers will run workshops and initiatives in the city quarters with minorities, like immigrants and disabled people, and summer camps;
- sport activities in cooperation with local associations;
- international activities: the volunteers will help in the implementation of international projects, youth exchanges and seminars planned by the association during their project. In the international projects the volunteers will take care of documenting the activities and will act like facilitators for the participants integration (for example they will be responsible for ¡§getting to know the city¡¨ activities).

Condições: The volunteers will be accommodated in a full-furbished independent flat, located in the centre of the city and close to the office. They will be receiving the pocket money, foreseen by the Programme, every month and the food money every week. During events like international exchange and meetings, the volunteers will share the meals with the international groups.

The volunteers will be supported during the project by the mentor and the project team, composed of trainers, youth workers and local volunteers that have already experience in organising EVS hosting projects and other youth projects in general. The staff of Link will work together with the volunteers and will be able to answer all their requests related to the project activities and to take care of them during their stay in the association and in the local community. Regular meetings between volunteers and mentor are foreseen in order to constantly evaluate the project and to solve problems if necessary. The mentor, as well as the local volunteers, will meet the european volunteers also outside the activities, giving to Link another tool for monitoring and evaluating the project. Furthermore, both the mentor and the association staff, are prepared and ready to face conflicts, crisis and personal difficulties of the volunteers. On their arrival, meetings on crisis management and prevention will be organised in order to make the volunteers able to recognize and manage them, but in any case they will ask help to the mentor and to the other staff members. Dialogue and exchange are the basis of the relationships that will be established between the association and the volunteers, with the aim of creating a pleasant work environment where everyone will feel accepted and free to be him/herself.

Formação: The volunteers will gain autonomy, will learn how to manage their own budget and, by sharing the flat, will have to face the basic rules of living together. By participating in the project, they will get to know the Italian culture and traditions and those of the hosting community. The volunteers will be supported while learning the Italian language by attending an Italian language course organised by the association and by interacting with the local community both during the activities and informal time. The volunteers will participate in training meetings to prepare themselves for the activities; they will have the opportunity to live a strong intercultural experience by being with other long and short term volunteers coming from different countries; they will develop their skills and gain or improve competences concerning the use of technological devices. The implementation of the activities, made in contact with young people, will allow them to improve their interpersonal and organizational skills. Hosting european volunteers is an example, for the local youth and people, of the intercultural exchange potential and of how we can concretely contribute to spread european values through ideas and active participation. The volunteers will be part of Link staff and will help the association in different activities related to the world of media, information, volunteering promotion, projects and local initiatives implementation. The several partnerships at local level, which have been confirmed and multiplied since 2003, allow Link to offer to the volunteers the opportunities of being involved in other activities related to art, sport, music, children and disabled people. After a first phase of introduction to the activities, the association and the local context, the volunteers will be able to engage bigger responsibilities inside the organization. They will receive tools and support needed to develop one or more personal projects which fit the organization's aims and their aptitudes, bringing an added value inside the association and the hosting community. The volunteers will be supported by a mentor through the whole project who will assist them during the activities and on personal level, particularly for solving problems and conflicts, and who will help them to integrate in the local community.
