The ENERGY+ project is a proposal for a European Voluntary Service at CESIE, Palermo for the period of 9 months for 2 rounds of 6 volunteers coming from 5 different Programme Countries: France, Greece, Latvia, Spain and Slovenia and 1 Partner Country: Serbia.
The project foresees the involvement of participants facing difficulties in entering the labor market, while 50% of them fall into the category of youth with fewer opportunities, as social, economic and geographical constraints.
The project aims at the acquisition of skills (personal, soft & professional) for increasing volunteers’ employability, getting new life perspective and offering valuable input to CESIE’s activities both in the office and locally, bringing new cultural tendencies, way of thinking and acting.
Focusing on the importance of balancing personal and professional life, ENERGY+ will deal mainly with the organization of creative activities and workshops for increasing migrants’ social and labour inclusion. Given the high numbers of migrants arriving at the SPRAR Bureaus, who are mostly minors and young men, and their relative physical inactivity, the project will seek to alter this through support to CESIE’s current actions with the target groups but also encouraging volunteers to take initiative, and implement their own ideas. This will create interaction between the locals, the internationals and the new arrivals and young migrants, offering the means to the target groups to feel involved, stimulated and eventually empowered for a healthy social and labour life.
The main objectives of the project are to:
-Equip participants with employability and soft skills for their future careers.
-Introduce participants to the significance of leading a balanced life combining office work and outdoor activities.
-Strengthen the principle of social inclusion through voluntary work using international and local approaches.
-Utilize the talent and energy of the participants ready to offer and bring the change (in a multicultural environment with high percentage of people at risk of social exclusion).
-Promote interaction, reciprocal understanding and intercultural integration among local beneficiaries.
For the smooth flow of the project, the activities will follow the structure below:
-Conceptualization and design of workshops on social inclusion, personal and professional development through non-formal learning. With CESIE’s support the volunteers will enrich our current projects and will design their own workshops.
-Presentation of workshops’ aims and content to local beneficiaries via meetings at the office. Workshops’ contents will depend on the interests of the volunteers and the target group, as theatre, music, dance performance, painting, design, recycling and up-cycling, sharing kitchen habits, etc.
-Introduction of the activities at local social centers cooperating with CESIE.
