Resumo: "TDM 2000 has decided to become a hosting organization 3 years ago. We thought, and after the experience we have made we are sure, that the volunteer can help our community to be more open minded concerning the other cultures and to cut down stereotypes. We have already noticed it, during our last projects. The positive effects are already coming out, so we are really enthusiastic of these results and we want to continue hosting volunteers. The success of the project in itself, with all the people which are involved in, has contributed to make more visible the activity of TDM 2000. Also on this side we are starting to see some results: some other organizations (public and private) are asking us to host volunteers for their projects. We are evaluating these possibilities and the projects that they propose because we want to be sure about the relevance of them for the volunteers and for the local community. Also after the first volunteer we have started cooperation with public bodies working in the field of youth policies (like the Youth Centre of the Municipality of Cagliari…) and to improve the cooperation with old partners (like the University of Cagliari…), the cooperation is continuing and the presence of new volunteers will foster it and will lead to new partnerships.
We want to give to young foreigners an opportunity to make an experience of life which will be impressive for them and for building up their future. We strongly believe that a formative experience of this kind (non formal intercultural learning experience) helps everybody to achieve maturity and to understand what they want for their life. It helps to be more independent and to get integrated in the social life: if you succeed in integrating in a foreign country with different culture, it could be easier understanding how to get integrated in every context. During the project the volunteer will also have the opportunity to achieve some skills useful for their future employment.
The projects will be part of the planned activity of the association, therefore everybody is involved with more or less responsibility. The volunteers that we have already hosted have been really wonderful people and it has been a great experience for all the subjects involved in the project and also for all the members of the association. They all were fully integrated. They have met a lot of people from every age: young people, our families, public authorities, journalists. They have received compliments from everyone. They have also been asked for some jobs! They have many new friends and our association has gained some more visibility with youngsters and with public and private bodies also. We are not expecting to have ""copies"" of the volunteers that we have had because each person is different, but we are sure that also the new ones will affect positively our projects and our minds.
We thought that the presence of volunteers could have helped us to involve young people of our community in our activities and moreover to spread the idea of the voluntary service as an experience of life that helps the personal growth. Again our expectations have been satisfied. During the last year we have reached much more youngsters and we have some volunteers ready to go abroad for his/her own EVS project. Our volunteers have helped a lot in this success talking with them about their experience and motivation.
The volunteer will take new fresh ideas to our activities and we will have the opportunity to plan and implement projects together with the sending organization implementing the number of reliable partners. Exchanging the roles all the advantages showed are valid also for the volunteers that we will send.
