We are looking for candidates for an European Solidarity Corps Project in Bari, for 4 months, starting in November, with Cooperativa AL.I.C.E that organises the Bari International Gender film festival.
Start: Around the beginning of November
Duration: 4 months
Where: Bari, Apulia, Italy
Application’s deadline: 27 September 2021
Project’s aim
In line with the objectives of the ESC, the project aims to raise awareness of all actors involved, specifically with regard to the gender issue, in general descending in defence of all minorities. We are well aware that “we have to fight for their life as if it were our own – because it is. Because if they take you away at dawn, in the evening they will come for us.” In many EU countries, the gender issue has yet to achieve full equality in law. Even more worrying is the fact that anti-discrimination laws are not implemented. In this context, it is often the non-profit sector that has driven social change towards sexual and gender minorities in societies.
Activities
1. AL.I.C.E
AL.I.C.E. coordinates networks for the socio-labour integration of disadvantaged groups and for the strengthening of the community value. It also offers psychological assistance and support services, family mediation and parental support, guidance, counselling and skills assessment for those who are temporarily in a state of suffering and discomfort.
The volunteer will take care of:
- Helping the staff in the organisation
- Assistance for in-office tasks
- Social Media Updates
- Possibility to carry out personal projects
2. Promotion of the European Solidarity Corps
The project takes place within a film festival which is why we believe that, in agreement with the volunteers, they can produce a short film explaining the ESC project, their experience and the location of the project.
In addition, they will be free to organize information events about the programme of the European Solidarity Corps.
