Resumo: The Social Cooperative was founded in 1979 by a group of citizens who was feeling the need to have a deeper discussion and a shared approach on quality of life, specifically focussing on work-related issues, social exclusion and youth disadvantage. According to its statute, the cooperative “does not pursue any profit-making policy; its objective is human promotion, to be achieved through mutual cooperation.

The Cooperative counts around 90 worker-members and some volunteer-members; there are about 40 places available for individuals taking part in work-integration and support programmes.

Perfil: Age: 17-30

Tarefas: Activities can include one or more of the following:
1. BAR/KITCHEN SERVICE. The Cooperative manages a social bar to improve its link with the local community, cyclically offering themed-evening and cultural events promoting sustainable development.
Volunteers will give their contribution during the service hours. They will be given the freedom to propose initiatives to make the bar more original (i.e. organising concerts, art exhibitions, reading, cultural events, workshops, etc.).
Staff members of the bar are also in charge of preparing the daily lunches for all the colleagues. Therefore, volunteers will also help in this activity.

2. RECONDITIONING OF GOODS. The Cooperative reclaims used goods; to be reinserted in the market, part of them needs a “handcraft intervention”, able to give them new life (furniture and wood objects restoration, textile laboratory, etc.).
Volunteers will give their support to this activity, learning manufacturing technics, and developing a special sensitiveness to accompany disadvantaged people in their work. Furthermore, there will be the satisfaction to see their own works on sale in the Cooperative shop!

3. YOUTH AREA. It implies the promotion of projects addressed to youth, on different areas. The projects actually running are:
- Social Day project, aiming at sensitising young people in volunteering
- Human Library potential project still not implemented yet but hopefully starting next year.
These activities are run in cooperation with schools. Such a work foresees a “backstage” part, consisting in preparing activities and a “on field” one, which consists in running the proper training sessions, visiting classes in schools and carrying on the planned activities. EVS volunteers will support the Cooperative operators in the whole process.

4. PENSIERO UNICO. This field includes all the activities linked to the way the host organization is proposing itself to citizens. It includes sales in second hand shops, promotional strategies (ex. arranging temporary exhibitions/events on specific topics) and animation with children (there’s a children corner in the shop, where parents can leave their children while doing their shopping).
Volunteers will give their support to staff members by setting up the shop to make it appealing, proposing and arranging thematic exhibitions (i.e. “toys”, “books”, etc.), following the whole process of items, from the delivery of a citizen to the final sale of it, animating children in the children area, participating in the promotional events and workshops, etc.

All activities listed are run also in cooperation with disadvantaged people (coming from different backgrounds, as for example detention, drug or alchool addiction, etc.) providing them a job that could become a kind of educational programme. Working there represents for these people a big opportunity to have a deeper contact with “everyday-life rules and environment”.
