Siderno, Italy

Description

Can we change? 4.0 will be held from the 2nd to the 17th of September. It's a volunteering teams project that aims to foster a full-immersion experience in our Calabrian City Siderno and its traditions, customs, flavours, and celebrations that have been passed down through generations. Thanks to the collaboration and solidarity among volunteers from various European countries and our local ones, we will share the goal of making a positive impact on our community, promoting European citizenship which is still an unknown topic for our young people and building lasting connections. The volunteers will come together to contribute with their unique skills, experiences and perspectives on implementing sustainable activities that address community needs, ranging from environmental and humanitarian actions and social initiatives for any age, indulging also in traditional folk music and city fair, tours through charming villages and hands-on cooking classes featuring local recipes.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

In order to guarantee and protect the privacy, of each volunteer, a shared apartment with all the comforts, will be provided by the YMCA. More precisely, the apartment will be equipped with shared rooms and bathrooms, heating system, electricity, water, WiFi, kitchen and shared living room. The apartment is located 10 minutes, walking distance, from our main offices. Next, or walking distance to the apartment provided, you can find: bars, shops, gyms, restaurants and pharmacies.
