Call for participants:Long Term EVS in Italy

Long term EVS project in the field of European culture and promotion of mobility programs.

Basilicata Link (also known as B-Link) is a youth organization created in 2012 with the aim of increasing intercultural initiatives and promoting non formal education methodologies in the Basilicata region, in the south of Italy. Main target group is youth and main objective is to stimulate them to participate and discover cultural differences in Europe thanks to mobility programmes and local actions during which the organisation promotes European values such as solidarity, living in peace and respecting diversity.

The organization is based in Matera, a medium-sized town of Basilicata, which historical centre is protected by UNESCO because of its heritage, the old town called “Sassi”. Matera is a town with a University and rich of cultural events (festivals, concerts, exhibitions, ect.) and has been designed to be European Capital of Culture in 2019. Nevertheless the organization operates on a wider perspective with projects and initiative in many small towns (often with less than 5.000 inhabitants) where there is a strong need to create European awareness and to involve young people living in a sort of geographical isolation.
The organization has its seat in a co-working space in Matera where young people find information for career orientation and to get support in finding training and professional paths. Volunteers will work in a pleasant working place where to meet other young people and gain new competences.

The organization is composed by four active members, working on a stable basis (all volunteers) plus many young volunteers and students helping in local and international projects.
Main focus of our activities are culture and rural development.
B-Link work in many small villages promoting intercultural dialogue and active citizenship.We organize info days in these small cities and we help young people living there to develop their intercultural skills, prepare them to be ready for international activities such as youth exchanges and EVS.

Task of the volunteer is to help in the activities of the organisation.
