Building a More Inclusive Universo

Activity description

In Universo, activities are equally divided between learning and volunteering, following a learning-by-doing approach. Participants engage in Italian language and culture immersion, foreign language courses, communication workshops, Erasmus+ promotion, personal projects, local events, and small administrative tasks. These activities promote personal growth, intercultural understanding, and community engagement. Universo promotes respect for differences through intercultural understanding, advocacy for human rights, cultural activities, effective communication, solidarity, cooperation, and artistic expression. These values shape Universo's mission to create a more inclusive, tolerant, and interconnected society.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Volunteers will be provided with shared accommodation in the vibrant city of Bologna. Additionally, they will receive a total of 330 euros as pocket money and food allowance. While transportation arrangements are not included, Bologna offers excellent public transportation options for easy access to various parts of the city and beyond.

Training during the activity

Volunteers will receive comprehensive training to support their experience. This includes On Arrival Training organized by the Italian National Agency, equipping volunteers with essential information and skills for their time in Italy. Additionally, the host organization will provide task related training tailored to the specific needs and objectives of the volunteering project. This dual training approach ensures volunteers are well-prepared and empowered to contribute effectively to their roles.
