Project description:
HANDS – Harvesting, Analysing and Nourishing Development Strategies project takes the
form of Volunteering Teams of the European Solidarity Corps and aims to create learning
opportunities and experiences based on Non-Formal Education, targeting disadvantaged
children and youth from different areas of Sicily. Volunteers will be immersed in a dynamic
and complex reality, learning not only to identify and address the needs of disadvantaged
communities, but also to develop innovative and adaptive educational approaches.
5 KEY OBJECTIVES:
– INNOVATIVE LEARNING METHODS: Develop and apply new itinerant pedagogical
approaches to improve access to education and fight educational poverty.
– STRONGER EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY: equip Sicilian educators with innovative tools
to address local challenges and share solutions with nearby areas.
– YOUTH INVOLVEMENT: Actively engage disadvantaged youth in project activities,
fostering their skills and community participation.
– LOCAL NEEDS: Address educational and social exclusion through sustainable methods.
– INTERNATIONAL REPLICATION: Develop innovative solutions in Sicily that can be
adapted and applied in other countries through international partnerships
Participant profile:
- Strongly interested in the project and ESC

- The selection process is designed to actively encourage participation of young people with fewer opportunities, ensuring fair access and
prioritizing motivation and potential over prior experience or specific skills.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements:
The accommodation is provided by the facilities that will host volunteers during the all duration of the project. Participants will receive a pocket food in order to provide the meals by themselves. The facilities will have the kitchen to prepare the meals.
Participants will receive a pocket money of 6 euro per day for 52 days. Once selected, the volunteer will be automatically enrolled by Henner insurance, which will be complementary to the European
