Presentation of the program

The association Centro Social Pet was born in July 2013 in Matera, Italy. It is affiliated to the National Educational Sports Centre (recognised by CONI) and its main purpose is to encourage the development of amateur sports activities, through the promotion, dissemination and exercise of dog activities with great attention Pet Therapy. The combination of sport & nature gave birth to "Il giardino di Nunù" (Nunù's garden) in June 2018. It aims to promote growth and educational activities in nature for children aged 3 to 6. Il giardino di Nunù offers children the opportunity to live in harmony doing activities inspired by Montessori, both indoor and outdoor every day from 8:00 to 16:00; to do experiential learning, contact with animals and nature, and language diversity through the volunteers. The association also organizes experiential workshops, educational projects in schools, seminars, conferences and training courses to encouraging the active participation of citizens.

About the accommodation

To reach to the project site it is necessary to use a bus (15 min) or drive the bike (25 min), so it is important to be punctual. Volunteers do stay in double rooms, inside a flat shared with other European volunteers. The flats are 5 min walking distance from the city center. The apartments are self-managed by the persons who life inside. cleaning, shopping, cooking) and everyone needs to follow basic rules. Volunteer receives monthly food money (200€) + pocket money (6€ per day) through bank transfer.

About the leisure

The topic of solidarity is part of our association, as it is part of the life of the members involved. Through our activities we pass on the basic elements of solidarity directly and unfiltered to the children who are part of our NGO. Welcoming a volunteer from another European country is a further element of concreteness that we can demonstrate to our children. The volunteer will experience from inside what means: outdoor education, dog and animal therapy, the concept of Forest Kindergarten and Montessori.

At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
