You will participate and contribute to the realisation of our summer camp in Castri di Lecce aimed local children and children with a migrant background. You will have the chance to directly interact with locals, to know their cultures and to share yours! You will be involved in recreational and cultural activities for children and teens through: games, expressive, handicraft and creative workshops, sports activities, language workshops, exhibitions, concerts etc. You will participate in all planned activities, including field trips, visits, and excursions. The summer camp offers a fun and inclusive environment filled with games, trips, and creative activities. Through play and shared exploration, children will build friendships and learn from each other's cultures.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
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. to supermarkets, pharmacies and shops are all within walking distance. Terzo Millennio will organise transports to reach the place of the activities.
Training during the activity
Volunteers will participate in an orientation and welcome training during the first day 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.
Participant profile
Volunteers do not need to have any specific skills or diploma to join us, but be interested in the topics and activities of the project. We expect active and motivated volunteers who enjoy working with children and young people and who like contact with people. They must be willing to get involved, be flexible, patient and ready to work with people from other countries and other cultures. They must also feel free to propose activities other than those planned and must be prepared to be an active part of the project. We would like volunteers to be ready to share your culture and passions with us, and to learn as much as you can from this experience. We are sure that their contribution to our community will be very important and, at the same time, we are sure that this experience will be enriching for them as well.
