Formation pendant l’activité
We offer volunteers the opportunity to attend these face-to-face trainings: one arrival general training about IBO, arrival and mid term trainings organized by our National Agency for Youth (depending on how long you are volunteering), one Italian course, and other trainings and workshops depending on the period (e.g. camp leader training).
Profil du participant
We are looking for volunteers with good knowledge of English and a basic level of Italian, and above all a strong motivation to volunteer, grow personally, and support the mission and values of the organisation. A willingness to fully immerse themselves in an experience working closely with the staff, in a collaborative team environment, is also very important. Previous experience in communication, event organisation, management of solidarity workcamps, European projects or international cooperation projects is a plus, but it is not required. Everything else can be learned along the way.
