Italy: ESC: Grow, Learn and Engage in Sicily

About the local hosting organization

Nous sommes une association loi 1901 d’utilité générale à but non lucratif, fondée en 2002, à Marseille, mais notre activité prend racine au Centre social Saint-Mauront Bellevue en 1992. Notre engagement est dédié au développement humain durable, basé sur l’apprentissage interculturel réciproque et continu. Nos projets favorisent les échanges en lien avec les réalités locales et internationales, abordant des thèmes tels que l’éducation à la citoyenneté, la solidarité, l’inclusion sociale et l’écologie. Au cœur de notre démarche, nous plaçons la rencontre et le dialogue entre les cultures comme des outils puissants pour déconstruire les préjugés et renforcer les liens entre les individus.

Presentation of the programme

“Grow, Learn and Engage in Sicily” is an ESC opportunity hosted by Human Rights Youth Organization, an organisation promoting human rights, social inclusion and active participation. Une Terre Culturelle is looking for a volunteer who will support a unique project in Sicily focused on the rehabilitation of lands confiscated from the mafia and transformed into spaces for learning, community engagement and sustainability. Activities may include gardening and field maintenance, helping with permaculture and local community events, supporting workshops and educational activities with children, and assisting the team with communication, logistics and project management. This experience is ideal for young people interested in social impact, nature, intercultural learning and community life. The project offers the chance to discover Sicily through meaningful local engagement, teamwork and daily life in an international environment.
