Volunteers will receive a monthly food allowance or meals, depending on the hosting community, and support for local transport related to the project. Travel costs to and from Italy will be reimbursed according to ESC distance bands.
Training during the activity
Volunteers will receive continuous support throughout the project through on-arrival, mid-term and final reflection activities, regular meetings with a tutor and a mentor, an Italian language course and internal training organised by the hosting organisation. They will also take part in the Youthpass process to reflect on their learning journey and recognise the competences developed during the volunteering experience.
