LE ATTIVITÀ:
Citizenship café:
a space is created and managed in organisation headquarters to host debates, projections, cultural and creative activities about youth participation and themes that interest young people. Some activities already took place in this space such as: movies projections, debates, and intercultural dinners. The volunteer can pursue these activities and workshops or pursue new ones. It will be also an opportunity to share her own culture: cinema, music, Italian cuisine…
Environmental activities:
this theme is central in the program, so Amuddu asks their volunteers to participate in these activities. They create green spaces in schools, makes neighborhoods cleaner, organizes manifestations to make people more conscious about importance of protecting natural environment, valuing recycling to protect environment (they try to equip the citizenship café mainly by recycled materials). In 2016 Amuddu participated to COP 22 in Marrakech – Morocco and they aim to continue our engagement toward environment in their area.
The local youth council is an experience they launched with their young members, it aims to create a constructive dialogue with local elected counselors by planning common actions. Even if, mots of work is in Arabic for this project, Amuddu tries to involve volunteers who are interested in citizenship and youth participation.
Participation in national and international youth exchanges:
Amuddu is working with a youngsters in national and international level by using non formal education methods. Volunteer can participate or help with all logistical issues (if it is under Erasmus+ programme). She / he is always free to insert her(him)self to any part of a team working with a particular project. As Amuddu is spreading the idea of Youth mobility volunteer of this project becomes a witness of an international experience that other youngsters could have. So hosting organisation will ask to make a small promotion campaign or in non formal way to share her experience and possibilities with local youngsters.
Partner gives to volunteers the possibility to propose a personal project in accordance with their goals and values, they work on it together, this way the volunteer will have a deeper personal touch on the project.
Amuddu also hosts volunteers for short-term missions, so they ask long term volunteers to accompany them and share activities. These missions last two weeks on average, and it represents an opportunity for the volunteer to test his/her ability to be responsible of a group and help them to discover our city and its area. They are of course supervised by the team of the association.
The volunteer carry out her activities during the week (35 hours per week). She/he will have the weekend off, except if the association organizes activities during the weekend or in the evening, he/she can choose days during the week to rest. In addition, the volunteer will have her monthly free days and can take them according to Erasmus + rules.
