Italy: ESC: ESC in Italy with People with Disability

Presentation of the programme

Would you like to volunteer with people with disabilities? You will have the opportunity to learn a lot about social work and the promotion of inclusion of people with disabilities working in a centre that manages a residencial centre, little apparments, a daily centre, a social chicken coop!! We also have creative workshops (leather, sewing, mosaics, embroidery, ceramics, etc..) and pet therapy activities.

About the accomodation

You will share a flat with another ESC volunteer; the flat is right next to the organisation and it has 2 bedrooms so you will have a single room and will share the kitchen and bathroom. Once a day you will eat in the canteen of the centre and have some money to buy your own food that you can cook in the kitchen of the house. You will be given a bicycle to move freely in our city during your free time!!
