Milano
This project is supported by the European Solidarity Corps. Food and accommodation are covered by the European Union. Transportation costs will be refunded according to the distance band rules of the programme. No fees are required. The workcamps are open for international volunteers (coming from EU ESC countries projects).
The festival was born to promote melting pot, social inclusion and anti-racism, the housing right for all, and the improving of cultural and social conditions. The international volunteers group will help the inhabitants, the local volunteers and the association's partners to realize the event. The volunteers will help to propose ideas, organize and manage the educational activities for youngsters. Children and kids of that neighborhood often live in socio-economic disadvantages and during summer, with schools closed, they have few opportunities to participate in community activities. The international volunteers will be always side by side with local volunteers of the "Banda dei Pirati Project" with experience in previous festival editions.
Volunteers will be hosted at the “Space of Mutual Aid”, a community squat that hosts a lot of social projects and the co-housing of tens of families from all over the world. Here there is one large apartment (130 square meters) entirely dedicated to the volunteers without distinction between males and females. There will be hot water in the bathroom. You can use the Wi-Fi in the building, but not in the room. The food will be prepared together by the volunteers and you can also eat vegetarian.
The project takes place in Milan, the second biggest city in Italy. During their free time, the volunteers will have the opportunity to visit it. TERMINAL: The nearest terminal is Milan Linate Airport (LIN) or Milan Malpensa (MXP) and Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY). The airports are well connected with the city by coach and railway.
