Resumo: The Associazione Tolbà has its offices in Matera, a southern Italian city with a population of circa 60,500, which is also a provincial capital of Basilicata and the second city in the region. Matera is well known as a touristic destination for its “Sassi”, a picturesque and historical quarter entirely hewn and
built from limestone, recognized in 1993 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Matera welcomes thousands of tourists every year, and it is a city that is culturally very lively due to the presence of the local University and numerous cultural and volunteer associations that work in the fields of music, cinema, theatre, involving many youths from the city and throughout the region. Additionally, the city is located on the border with Apulia region, 60 km from Bari's Palese Airport, 17 km from Altamura (BA), a city that is particularly rich with youth and cultural activities; Matera is located near various small urban centers that are charming and full of traditions. Nearly 3% of Matera's population is made up of foreigners, many of whom come from China, Rumania, Albania, Morocco and Ukraine, and this
makes Matera a multicultural and multilingual city that today boasts a fairly good integration of the immigrants in its community. The city's historical, cultural and social importance have made Matera a candidate city as European Capital of Culture for 2019.

The volunteers will be accommodated in an appartment not far from Tolbà's office and the city center.
During the project the volunteer will acquire self-management and autonomy skills. His /her stay in Italy will allow him/her to get to know Italian culture and local traditions and to learn Italian language thanks to the support of the association and the interaction with the local community.

Within the host organization, the volunteer will assist in the activities, bringing added value, creativity and innovation in everyday work. In particular, the volunteer will participate actively in the accomplishment of different projects and in intercultural workshops run in schools by Tolbà association
operators. He/she will also have the chance to support the activities of “Tolbà library”, from the creation of books to the direct involvment in promotional events to display the contents of the project to the local community; he/she will take part in the organization of public events related to the ongoing
projects. Together with the association staff, the volunteer will also be able to learn how to define the teaching methods of multilingual workshops carried out in several schools in the province of Matera and in other Italian regions, as well as to promote interculturalism among children who take part in them.

Once the volunteer will have acquired a good spoken and written Italian level -mainly due to the language lessons that will be held daily at the association- and a sufficient autonomy in his/her daily work, the volunteer will be able to choose to undertake more complex tasks such as: 1) get to know the Italian legislation about asylum procedures and human rights and compare it with that of his/ her home country, and later on relate in a critical comparison the differences and similarities between
the Italian system of immigrants’ rights and his/her home country system; 2) activate a cooperation protocol with an association, foundation or school of his/her home country; 3) cooperate to the production of multilingual books (graphic editing, management of the relationships with writers and
translators, etc.). The voluntary experience within the activities of Tolbà association is, for the reasons
above, full of inputs and learning occasions that respect each volunteer’s timing and skills. Volunteers will also be given the opportunity and the space to create a small personal project or to develop initiatives to improve the activities of Tolbà intercultural center. Each volunteer will receive all the
support needed by the association operators. The experience with Tolbà association wil have a highly intercultural nature; the association operators guarantee a strong support, both personal and professional, for the volunteer.
