Can We Change? 5.0
A.S.D. Basket YMCA Siderno - Associazione Cristiana dei Giovani (APS)
Siderno, Italy
Description
This project aims to provide a full-immersion experience in Siderno, Calabria. Volunteers will explore the hidden treasures of this diverse region and experience the warmth of its welcoming people. Bringing together locals and European volunteers, we encourages participants to contribute with their unique skills, experiences, and perspectives, collaborating on activities that address key community needs, (environmental, inter-generational and social initiatives for any age). The often-overlooked concept of European citizenship, is still an unknown topic for our people. Can you help us change that and show them how important it is to volunteer abroad? This project goes beyond cultural exchange—it's a journey to break down stereotypes and encourage open dialogue. We share not only a common heritage but also a responsibility to foster unity and celebrate our unique contributions. Let's build bridges, break barriers and discover the common thread that unite us all.

In order to guarantee and protect the privacy, of each volunteer, a shared apartment with all the comforts, will be provided by the YMCA.
