Presentation of the program
The Association "Il beccogiallo" is since 1986 a permanent space of sharing and cultural care in favor of aggregation and implementation of all the social components available in order to promote a real CULTURE OF CHILDHOOD. The very young members, aged from 3 to 14 years, are currently about 250; adult volunteers are about 15 and they take care of educational, cultural and organizational aspects together with the professional educators and staff. Since 1997 the association signed an agreement with the City of Matera for the Partial Socio-Educational Custody of children with social, economic and migrant background. Within the association, those issues are faced thanks to the plurality of cultures and social situations among the children. During all year Il Beccogiallo organizes activities to support the children to grow open-minded, without limits and no stereotypes. The daily activities are based on home-work support, leisure time activities so as summer camps and cultural visits.
About the accommodation
The hosting city Matera has been European Capital of Culture 2019. Volunteers leave in Matera city centre, in a shared flat, hosted in double rooms, not far from the working place. The apartment is self- managed and the volunteer needs to share kitchen and bathroom with other international guests. There is no need for local transportation. As the rule of ESC program the volunteer receives €6 per day for pocket money and €200 for food money, per month. Money sent via banks transfer each month.
About the leisure
The volunteers will be involved in the following activities:
- support the daily life of the association, helping the staff with after school activities of kids from 6 to 14 years or, leisure time activities for kids from 3 to 6 years, and general management of the space, break time, entrance and exit of the kids;
- activities related with literature, sports, music or theater for children, sometimes open to parents and the local community; Volunteers will be involved from the preparation to the phase of implementation;
