Short description
iDEAlITY - Developing European Awareness Through Youth Information - is a Project aimed to host European volunteers. It will be held in Roseto degli Abruzzi (Region Abruzzo, Italy) within the Europe Direct Point and the Youth Information Centre run by our cooperative. The issues that it intends to develop are "European awareness" of youth and “information for young people" and it aims to achieve goals such as: to develop the awareness of young people towards issues of citizenship and European integration; to provide young people with opportunities for active participation in the construction of Europe; to overcome prejudices and fears of diversity; to promote and encourage the mobility of youth; to improve the quality of information towards the majority of young people. The activities of volunteers will last 9 months with the involvement of four Countries participating in the Youth in Action programme. It is open to 3 volunteers who will be involved in all activities typical of an information desk such as, back office and front office duties (especially useful to volunteers wanting to improve their knowledge of Italian), organization of events and seminars, work-shops, info days, exchange of good practice etc. The volunteers will also be in touch with other organizations in their countries of origin in order to establish new partnerships. During all the phases of the project, the volunteers will be assisted and trained by a tutor and a supervisor who, along with the volunteer, will fill in the Youthpass. They will attend daily meetings with their mentor who will also monitor the project, assess the performance of the volunteers and support them in situations of need or potential conflicts. There will also be a constant exchange of information between partners via e-mail, phone, Skype, with the aim of discussing together the various phases of the project.
