ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
The Centre for people with disabilities is located in Bologna, but it has many other locations also out of Bologna where volunteers might be asked to carry on activities. The volunteers will be mostly inserted in the socialising and integration activities for the users, such as the social-recreational activities of the centre, and the participation to the initiatives promoted by the territory. Besides, they are expected to work side by side with the staff members in some daily common activities (workshops, physical activity, external activities and special events, excursions etc).

WHAT IS AN ESC?
The European Solidarity Corps (ESC) is an initiative of the European Union that offers the possibility to EU citizens, from 18 to 30 years old, to carry out a period of volunteering, traineeship or job abroad in an institution or organisation. The maximum duration of each project is 12 months, but it is possible to participate in a "short term" project (<60 days) and then in a "long term" project, with a maximum overall duration of 14 months.
ESC projects cover travel (with limited budget), food, accommodation, activities, and mentoring costs. Each volunteer also receives monthly a financial support that changes according to the country of destination (pocket money). A health insurance (CIGNA) is also provided.
