Resumo: Volunteers will be involved in a local-level educational project targeted to young people with fewer opportunities (aged 14-30) and elderly people living in San Paolo-Cenisia, a district in Turin.

In particular activities will be carried out in two gathering centres in the neighbour: the Internet Point and the centre situated in the council house context in Corso Racconigi.

The activities in both centres are coordinated by the Urban Regeneration Department of Turin City Council, which cooperates and helps the associations to carry on the different proposals.
The gathering centers are collocated in a high populated area, really close to a big open-air market, schools, churches and shops. The public transport is also very good in the area, with 8 lines between buses and trams and the subway.

Most of the people living there belong to the middle class; there is also a high percentage of immigrant families principally from North Africa and South America.

Since 2000, the neighbourhood has seen an increasing of 59% of the foreign population, which now constitutes 10.7% of the total. The incidence of young people under aged on foreign residents is remarkable, considering also the decline of Italian youngsters because of the low birth rate. This is really important, especially in relation to services, schools, integration and social cohesion.

The activities of the EVS project aim to develop the comprehension of different cultures living in the district and thus represent an input for the self-growth of the volunteers involved.

The aim of the project is to develop the volunteers' understanding of different cultures and situations, which, at the same time, may lead to personal growth of the volunteers themselves. Throughout their volunteering experience, youngsters will work with people with fewer opportunities (mainly old people and immigrant young ones) and therefore have the chance to give some of their time and experience to the ones who need.

The volunteers will play an active role in the everyday activities of our organization, they will fully co-operate and support the staff and the Italian volunteers normally acting in the two gathering centers: educators, psychologists, ITC experts and social workers.

Tarefas:  facilitating working group sessions in workshops intended for youngsters about Youth Democracy and Active Participation;

 assisting in the daily opening to the public (opening the centre and helping people who need support in ITC, meeting people and establishing human and friendship relations with them);

 assisting in computer courses (basic and advanced).
In the center settled in the tenement (public housing), the volunteers will cooperate with the members of Eufemia organization in the following activities:

 organizing and running non-formal education activities (ITC workshops, English lessons, socializing activities, information about work’s opportunities, youngsters’ position, role and rights);

 promotion of activities through flyers, Internet, social networks for better communication and exchange of information; organization and management of various events to promote the project;

 giving customers an evaluation questionnaire of the center proposed activities, which aims to raise the perception of residents about the activities, spaces, and opinions;

 maintenance and care of flower beds in the courtyard created to sensitize people on the importance of green spaces within the urban context;
 cooperating in the dissemination of the project including, among other, updating of the website

 cooperating in project design and accountancy.
The option for a personal project will always be available to the volunteers; together with the assistance of their tutor a personal project can be developed. It could be organising a new workshop, implementing youth projects, starting a study group, organising a cultural event within the internet point and/or social housing context programme.

Condições: The volunteers will be involved from Monday to Friday in the activities of the association for a maximum of 35 weekly hours.
Usually weekends will be free. Sometimes, anyway, there will be events that will take place during the weekends, in these cases, the volunteers will have day-off during the week.
