* Description:
Breakdown The Wall is an EVS project to be held in Italy on the issues of migration, integration and EU citizenship.
The project involves 2 volunteers aged 18-27 years from Bulgaria and Ireland.
SEYF is managing a Center for Refugees and Asylum seekers where we host 40 young refugees: here, we provide for all the basic needs of the migrants.
The project idea is to promote good practices of integration through the use of intercultural dialogue and cultural expression: this will happen by collecting stories of local migrants , setting up activities for fostering integration between Community and migrants and, in the meanwhile, for stimulating a wider sense of EU citizenship among the local community.
Objectives:
-To foster better understanding of the procedures of reception of asylum seekers
-To build interactive moments for foreign citizens that are being hosted in the reception centres in the area of Montesano.
-To support movement of opinion, through practices easily replicable.
* Accommodation, food and transport arrangements:
-TRAVEL: travel costs are covered until a maximum of 275,00 € per participant from Bulgaria and from Ireland. Local transport is covered by SEYF;
-FOOD & ACCOMMODATION: SEYF will host the volunteers in a flat in Montesano. The accommodation will assure good living conditions (private rooms, equipped kitchen and bathroom, heating system, running cold/ hot water, Wi-Fi). They will receive a monthly lump sum amount for food.
