Short Term EVS in Italy
Link is youth organization based in Altamura (South of Italy) acting as a hosting and sending organizationin the frame European Voluntary Service – Youth in Action Programme.
After JAM youth exchange, granted by Anna Lindh Foundation and hosted by Link in August 2009, we are very proud to announce the follow-up of this project which will consist in a group EVS project.
The project will be implemented in Italy (Altamura – Matera) from the 12th to the 26th of June 2010.
The concept
JAM – Jeunesse Artistique de la Meditèrranèe, is a project which intends to promote youth participation and creativity by using different forms of art. Our idea is a long-term process and aims to establish a sustainable network of youth organizations in Europe and Mediterranean area using arts as a tool to promote intercultural dialogue and solidarity.
The first edition of JAM was based on music and painting and the main theme was peace. With this new project we want to raise awareness on the topic of poverty in occasion of the European Year to combat social exclusion and poverty.
The EVS project
The EVS project plans to host 20 volunteers from 16 different countries. As a follow-up we would like to focus this time on a different issues, spreading information about the european year 2010. The tools we want to use are still related to arts, but this time we want to focus on sculpure and different kind of installations made by recycled materials.
The topic of the project is “city-dressing”: we want to invite volunteers and local youth to create installations in town to inform citizens about the chosen issue.
The project will be hosted at Masseria Zagarella, a few kilometers far from Matera and the activities will be run in Matera and Altamura.
The hosting organization will provide meals and local transportation.
If you are interested, please send the CV of your volunteer by the 20th of October to mino@linkyouth.org,
