Resumo: The city is a 97,45 squared km town and it has always enjoyed an international social context, thanks to its important textile industry – which is one of the most important in Europe. The city hosts more than 28.000 people aged between 15 and 29, counting as the 15% of the entire population. During the last few years a great immigration flux has involved the city as well as many other cities in the western world. Today the city counts about 200.000 inhabitants, the 13% of which are foreigners: a quote that enabled the city to be one of most multicultural town at a national level.
Currently, at an economic level, the textile industry has decreased its importance. Therefore a strong need to embrace innovative fields has been raised such as culture, communication, spare-time and touristic services.
In the last few years our organisation has built a co-operation network with the Province, the Municipality of the city, and the other municipalities of the province.
For examples, in collaboration whit the municipalities of Cantagallo, the association organises each year international and national work camps.

Perfil: •Evaluation of candidates’ curricula and motivation letter
The evaluation of the curricula will be carried out in order to figure out the candidate's profiles and choose those that show more interest to join the EVS project according to their needs and their motivation to build up together a tailored project.
All volunteers who sent their Cv and motivation letter will be sent back an information document introducing the project with a brief description of each activities.
The candidates who will confirm their availability and interest in the project, will receive a questionnaire based on specific questions relating to the activities in which EVS volunteers will be involved. In the same questionnaires, the volunteers will be asked about their special needs (food, possible allergies, health issues,etc.). Thw use of the questionnaire gives us a clearer idea of the motivation and profile of each volunteer. It will be asked to be join in a Skype interview with The association's responsible in order to know each others, exchange deeper information on the project and learn more about skills and competences of the volunteers. On the basis of CV, Motivation Letters and Skype interviews the association’s staff will select the volunteers that most fit to the project itself.
•Communication exchange will be run out in order to verify the complete comprehension and sharing of the project aims as well as to elaborate a tailored program based on the candidates’ interests and needs.
•Sharing of the project with the sending organisations, helping them to support the candidates in their choice.
No specific peculiarities will be asked from the sending organisation. Additional credit will be given to those organizations which have already performed activities in the youth field, similar to the ones proposed in this project for the EVS.
Cooperation and communication aimed to build interesting and positive experiences for the Volunteers will be, of course, appreciated.
Based on the long-term experience acquired in previous EVS projects and workcamps with volunteers aged both over and under 18, the association can offer well tested conditions of hospitality and work. Possible problems originating from the housing accomodation will be solved and managed with the help of the staff working for the Permanent Centre for Volunteers; similarly, volunteers will be helped with the equipment needed to accomplish their tasks, since much of the work involves the use of manual tools and small machines for environmental jobs. Crucial to every project in which the association is involved, is the safety. Safe procedures will be used both during regular working time and daily life, with special attention to nature-friendly and sustainable lifestyle.
Age: 18 until 30 years old.

The association provides personal, linguistic and cultural support to each volunteer involved in the Project. The association also names a mentor responsible for personal support and integration to local community of the volunteers. The mentor has also an important role in discussing the learning achievements with the volunteers at the end of the project. The volunteers can turn to the mentor in case any problem arises. The volunteers will be actively involved in all activities and decision making and will always be supported by association staff.
EVS volunteers will be able to develop several kind of competences and skills, according to their specific preferences, which will be defined in their single projects. By the end of the project, each volunteer is expected to acquire the following objectives:
-Awareness and importance of the respect nature and environment.
-Activities with mentally, socially, and physically disabled people may represent an important personal experience for EVS volunteers, because these activities can help them fight prejudices and develop a sense of tolerance.

The EVS Volunteers will be introduced to the organisation as well as to the other volunteers. They will be considered as cooperators and will work together with other workers as reference contacts for youth activities. Their roles will be consistent with their project, interests, skills and competences. Even if they will not replace other people employed in other services, EVS Volunteers will be relatively independent in the accomplishment of their job (depending on their tasks at the moment), so that they will be able to develop independence and sense of responsibility working inside the organisation as well as to evaluate their own competencies and skills.
The association's staff will train EVS volunteers to make sure that all volunteers will participate to all activities of the projects, according to their skills and competences. The association's staff will also encourage new ideas and projects that EVS volunteers will be willing to implement inside the association.
The mentor will provide individual and group meetings with volunteers to evaluate the best activities each volunteers can carry on, and he'll make sure that the activities proposed will really meet the Volunteers’ skills and competencies.
