No One is Out- 2 months EVS in Italy
CESIE ENTE DEL TERZO SETTORE
CESIE
Palermo, Italy, Italy
Description
Migration is firmly at the top of the European Union's policy agenda. Indeed, the current data shows how the number of arrivals, mainly youth, in EU countries, firstly in Italy, is still important. Last data point out that in 2015 49% of third-country nationals were at risk of social exclusion compared with 22% among host-country nationals. Mobility and volunteering are among the most powerful educational tools for integration; the acquisition of soft and transversal skills is the foundation for further learning and the gateway to employment and social inclusion; a mobility abroad can deeply help to encourage these young people to improve not only their self- confidence, sense of social responsibility and level of psychological well-being, but also those soft and transversal skills which are necessary to enter in any working field.
