You will live in a shared flat together with other volunteers, in the city of Melendugno. The flat has a full equipped kitchen, so the volunteers can prepare their meals by themselves. You will receive a monthly allowance for food. All places where the project activities will take place are within walking distance. The same applies to supermarkets, pharmacies and shops. Should further distances be necessary, Terzo Millennio will organise transports accordingly. Volunteers will be provided with a bike.
Formazione durante l'attività
Volunteers will participate in a orientation and welcome training during the first week of the project in order to get to know the association, the territory, and to familiarise themselves with the staff and other volunteers. They will also receive specific on-the-spot and practical training on the activities they will carry out, in order to master the tools and instruments used, and also to be able to propose new ideas at the same time. Finally, volunteers will attend Italian language courses in order to be able to interact more easily in the local context and during the activities.
