- A rehearsal music room and recording system for bands.
The association may accept groups of EVS volunteers in the home, thanks to private bedrooms and common areas (such as kitchen, dining room and garden, to be shared with the guests of the community). Volunteers are asked to cooperate in the daily running of the community and to follow a few simple rules, such as compliance with meal times, participation in the lunch shifts and cleanings. The control of the place is guaranteed throughout day and night, thanks to the constant presence of operators and/or volunteers. The other rules for the volunteers are communicated and agreed with their tutor.

Tarefas: The European volunteers will collaborate in these activities:

- activation of courses for young people of the area (language, tandem, or courses that involved specific skills or expertise of the volunteer like cooking, art, etc. ..) to create a real intercultural dialogue and to promote the countries culture of origin.

The volunteer will also be in the context of a well-developed local network (the Association is housed in 2 Local Area Coordination of Youth Organizations - APG RIVIERA and Youth Policies and Coordination in the Mirano territory - and it collaborates with local authorities and many associations in the area). This network will provide an opportunity to the volunteer to learn more about the local context in which took part his service: so with help of operators and mentors he can incubate his choices and strategies to provide his own personal contribution to the territory, especially in terms of exchange of ideas, points of view and knowledge that he bring. Intercultural exchange becomes a fundamental part of the service and permeates the activities that the volunteer will play, so that the Association and the volunteer may initiate a virtuous circle in which cultural difference leads to an open and positive discussion.
As mentioned above, the activities will be monitored and supported by operators and volunteers of the Association, so that the experiences and expertises could be a useful path even at the end of the volunteer service and possibily in a future internship or job.
