Resumo: The volunteer will do his/her service in the rest home, which is a social activity set up by the Italian Christian Adventist Church to offer a peaceful place to self-sufficient and not self-sufficient elderly aged from 60. Today, the house hosts 82 internal residents, 6 residents living in external apartments and 10 daily guests assisted by 63 social workers and about 10 volunteers.

The volunteer will stay in a small town (around 110.000 inhabitants). This is a town built for people who can easly move around by bike, the most commom means of transport – not only among youth – thanks to the presence of many cycle lanes, and relax in the green areas distributed in the various districts. Moreover, the presence of the University has allowed the city to host in the last decades thousands of students coming from different Italian regions but also from many European and extra-EU countries thus favouring the development of new cultural offers but also the awareness of the importance of an International dimension which enriched the city social life.

Perfil: sensitivity and interest in the social world are considered important. The volunteer should be open-minded, very sociable so you can take contact with people and organizations involved. In general they are considered for the following characteristics:
- previous experiences in the third sector
- basic knowledge of information and communication technologies
- good relational skills

Age: 18 until 30 years old

Tarefas: The role of volunteers in the rest home will always be of support to the staff but will be mainly targeted to the socializing dimension as they should involve the elderly in the different moments of the day (leisure activities, meals, workshops and individual or group displacement within or outside the house). In particular volunteers will be asked to actively participate in the following:

1. Cognitive and handicraft work – support to the staff and the elderly in the different workshops that usually involve the five senses

2. Relational area and music therapy – support and active participation in recreational and socializing moments in which residents are stimulated to establish contacts and exchange experiences.

3. Psychomotor area – support to the elderly in specific activities linked to spacial perception, cognition, relax and non verbal communication (for which the volunteers will recieve specific indication and training by the social workers), walking in the near park and short trips in the neighbourhood.

4. Management of the rest home – support to the staff in the tidying-up and decoration of the building, in the execution of limited administrative tasks and contribution to the updating of communication instruments of rest home such as the website and facebook profile by producing for example photografic material in particular events and parties

Volunteers will be involved in the different activities according to their interests, attitude and availability having the possibility to choose where to give the best contribution. The service will be full-time for 5 days per week with a fixed day off (Saturday) and a second one to be agreed; there will be day-shifts (from 8 a.m to 3 p.m) or afternoon-shifts (from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.) always respecting the weekly total of 32-35 hours. When lunch or dinner are within the service timetable, volunteers will have meals in the canteen of the rest home as we believe that these moments can contribute to their integration with the staff and the residents allowing to share also mutual culinary habits.
