Descrição
This short-term volunteering project brings together Italian and Albanian young people to join Beyond Barriers Association (BBA) in Tirana for two weeks of intercultural learning, creativity and community engagement. Volunteers will collaborate with local youth, schools and organizations to promote inclusion, solidarity, and European values. Activities include awareness campaigns on ESC and Erasmus+, intercultural sessions, art workshops with children with hearing impairments, media creation and cultural evenings. Through teamwork and shared experiences, participants will develop new skills, foster mutual understanding and strengthen the bonds between Albanian and Italian communities while contributing positively to the local social environment.
