ABOUT THE PROJECT<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ESC short term volunteering project, which will involve 6 volunteers in the Municipalities of Buccino (Sa) and Sicignano degli Alburni (Sa), will focus on the potential of the ESC program to bring value to countryside areas suffering from depopulation problems and lack of opportunities for young people. The volunteering project is part of a territorial context that for about two years has known the activation of various Erasmus+ and ESC projects, promoting the interaction between European and local young people. Thanks to two ESC Solidarity projects, the first carried out in Buccino in 2022 (Mim\u00ec and Peppino Pedagogical Garden) and the second one in Sicignano degli Alburni (ASILOkindergarden) with the support of the \u201cLa Ginestra\u201d association, dozens of young people presented their proposals for the creation of co-working spaces, designed to offer new social and educational opportunities with particular attention to environmental issues and to recover manual arts & crafts. With the aim of multiplying the impact on the territory, strengthening the action and impact of local solidarity projects, the \u201cSolidarity power\u201d project will involve volunteers in supporting the initiatives that take place during the summer period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABOUT HOSTING ORGANIZATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moby Dick is an organization founded in 2005, with its headquarter in Salerno. The mission is to exchange experiences and ideas through cultural and training activities in Italy and abroad. The areas of intervention are young people and European mobility, innovative teaching and non-formal education ,and the participation of young people in democratic life. For years we have been cooperating with many foreign organizations, especially in Europe, and this allowed to develop skills in the non-formal education field, to create transnational networks, but also to be updated on innovations in public policies dedicated to young people. Moby Dick has established itself as a good practice in southern Italy because of the ability to be really on the side of young people and support organizations, public and private, who are working in the field of youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
