ESC in FVG - Empower Supportive Communities in Friuli Venezia Giulia
Fondazione Anffas "Giulio Locatelli" Onlus
Pordenone, Italy
Description
In the project "ESC in FVG" Anffas Onlus Pordenone aims to offer young Europeans the chance to take part in a voluntary activity with people with special needs to develop a volunteering culture. The volunteers will also acquire and develop personal, social and professional skills that will support their social and work inclusion. European volunteers supported by the social carers and by the local volunteers will perform educational and recreational activities participating in art, music and movement inclusive workshops with people with special needs and students. In this way they will promote a more inclusive community addressed to the most excluded people. Volunteers will also act as Peers Educators towards the students Anffas Pordenone meets to promote the European Solidarity Corps and towards the Italian volunteers Anffas prepares to go abroad. Learning a new language and a new culture is not a chance only for the Eu Volunteers but also for the people they meet.
