Volunteers will support the implementation of the office activities, e.g., linguistic workshops, by adapting them with an inclusive lens; map the accessibility of some of the most important cultural centres in the city and get to know and collaborate with local partner associations that work with people with disabilities.

Moreover, they will develop their own personal project for the dissemination of these activities and the promotion of social inclusion to the local youngsters and citizens.
