Resumo: The centre where the volunteers will be hosted: the third province of the region Friuli Venezia Giulia. Geographically speaking it looks like a rectangle circumscribed by the rivers Tagliamento and Livenza, it is a long plain towards the Adriatic sea and the Prealps mountains on the North. Great position for excursions in the mountains, staying at the seaside and visits to the romantic Venice, only one hour away. The palce is still avery safe town, not dangerous at all for the volunteers.

Employed people work for the most on the third sector. The economy is also based on electricity and mechanics factories and on wood. Agriculture and craftsmanship are still important sectors as well as the Friulian one which keeps up the mountain traditions.

With its 52.000 inhabitants it is a modern and lively city, promoter of important cultural events like Dedica Review(in March), the book festival with its writers town legge (in September) and the Silent Film Festival (in October).

The host organization is convinced that apart from the summers camps, a live-in community would be too demanding for EVS volunteers, this is why we have rented a large flat 1,5 km away from the Anffas Centre or we place the volunteers in host families.

Perfil: The idea is to offer placements to young people who never travelled abroad and don't know other cultures.There will always be at least a placement for young people with fewer opportunities, social disadvantage but also geographical, economical, young people with histories of dependancy, single parents and young people with a physical, sensory or learning disability or mental ill health.

The volunteer will like to host is:
male or female
over 18
any religion
interested firstly in the relationship with the disabled people, secondly in the workshop activities and thirdly in linving in Italy.
Motivated for the Italian language
Motivated to learn, patient, dynamic, versatile, flexible, positive, curious, respectful, sensitive
Motivated for team work and educational paths
Able to share a flat with other young Europeans, or live with a host family or in a student house.

We tend to use primarily existent partnerships but if we feel there is a good disclosure of information about the volunteer background we can work with new partners as well. The vacancies will exist in a rolling programme and periodically we will prepare a document to 'advertise' the vacancies available in order that partners can select the most appropriate activity and timescale for each individual volunteer.

We also use some EVS networks websites.

The sending partners should be the first ones to have their say about who could fit ANFFAS environment thanks to the detailed description ANFFAS sends to the volunteers and their sending organization before going ahead with the selection.

We have tried to ensure that for all activities there is a mix of nationalities, abilities and educational needs, usually only selecting a maximum of two volunteers from any one organisation or country for hosting activity.

- we look first if the period is good for both of us
- decision on taking a candidate is made by the whole ANFFAS team and we are a open team

We will also welcome new partners or partners presenting us very support-demanding volunteers to join us for a pre-placement preparatory visit to gain a real understanding of what the experience of their young volunteers could be in the town
ANFFAS expects the contact person in the sending organization is easy to reach and doesn't disappear once the volunteer has arrived in the town and makes all the efforts to avoid delays in sending in the paper work and the funding.

Tarefas: Taking part in the activities of the association togehter with other international professionals the volunteers will be able to live an effective intercultural experience as the exchange is on daily basis.

The volunteers will always work alongside professional staff in 2 centres for 70 people with different levels of physical and mental disabilities. They will accompany our disabled people in every daily activity, they will become friends and a good company as well as an example to follow.

In a Centre like ours new faces, new voices, new ways of going around and doing things are extremely important for our guests and for our workers, helping to avoid burn -out. EVS volunteers bring in these qualities with their presence. A volunteer is ONLY supporting the workers, he/she has no responsibility at all towards the disabled people.They will always work in collaboration and with the support and the supervision of professional staff present on duty; as the volunteers don't have the specialized qualification of staff members there is no way they can replace the professional personnel. According to the activities chosen by the volunteers, they will work either Monday to Friday from 7.30-13.30 or 16-21, either from 9 to 15 in case of a volunteer with fewer opportunities.

When special events are organized the presence of the International volunteers is foreseen and very welcome!
The volunteers will attend 4/5 hours italian language course for the whole length of their EVS project, school holiday excluded.

Once a month, if they are able and willing to, thay can animate a party with games and music belonging to their country.
It's our aim to give the volunteers the chance to become the leader of one craftsroom following their inclinations: who plays an instrument can educate our guests to the listening to the music, who is good at cooking can lead the international cooking activity and so on…

Horário: The EVS volunteers will have 5 weeks induction and preparation where they will be trained about different approaches to work with our guests, their disabilities, all the craftsroom and manual activities, how to feed our guest and help them in their personal hygiene. After these 5 weeks each volunteer will be able to chose the 3 activities they want to carry out and they

will have a timetable like this:
MONDAY 7.30-13.30 support the worker in getting up a disabled person, breakfast, activity 1, lunch

TUESDAY 7.30-13.30 support the worker in getting up a disabled person, breakfast, activity 2, lunch language course 16-18.30

WEDNESDAY 7.30-13.30 support the worker in getting up a disabled person, breakfast, activity 3, lunch

THURSDAY 15.30-21 snack, outing in the local community, dinner, tv

FRIDAY language course 10-12 15.30-21 snack, activity 3, dinner, tv

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY free unless a special event like: MARATHON, DAY ON A PLANE, EXCURSION BY CARAVAN or a PARTY is organized.

There are some periods in which the external offer for outing is more intense; Anffas sees the outings as the best tool for inclusion and social integration addressed to the bettering of quality life of our clients. The weekly timetable is slightly reduced considering the outings and the Italian school attendancy that we hope it's constant.
