Resumo: "Modavi is located in Naples, in a quiet area easy to reach by car and especially by public transportation. Naples is in the south of Italy and is the capital of the region of Campania and of the province of Naples. The city is known for its rich history, art, culture and gastronomy, playing an important role throughout much of its existence; it is over 2,800 years old. Naples is located halfway between two volcanic areas, the volcano Mount Vesuvius and the Phlegraean Fields, sitting on the
coast by the Gulf of Naples.
The city has seen a multitude of civilizations come and go, each leaving their mark and now the historic city centre is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The city proper has a population of around 1 million people, while the population of urban area is estimated by Eurostat to be 2.25 million.
The city is also synonymous with pizza, which originated in the city. A strong part of Neapolitan culture which has had wide reaching effects is music, including the invention of the romantic guitar and the mandolin as well as strong contributions to opera and folk standards. There are popular characters and figures who have come to symbolise Naples; these include the patron saint of the city Januarius, Pulcinella, and the Sirens from the epic Greek poem the Odyssey.
In Naples there are many public and private institutions of higher education in Naples, as well as numerous institutes and research centres. Naples hosts what is thought to be the oldest state university in the world in the form of the University of Naples Federico II, which was founded by Frederick II during 1224. It is by far the most important university in southern Italy, with around 100,000 students and over 3000 professors.
The volunteers will work in Modavi in Naples and in other town where Modavi has its outlying centres. The volunteer will have the opportunity to come in direct contact with the local community through the support of the organization, but above all thanks to youths he will meet during activities in which he will be involved, setting with them friendship relationship and spending with them relax moments and good times.
EVS is mainly a growth opportunity for the volunteer. The volunteers will have the chance to develop their potentials and learn techniques and ways which will become part of their personal and professional background. Informal training will improve volunteer's knowledge and skills , highlighting
their talents and vocations.
