EVS placement for October's deadline: looking for volunteers!
InCo is ready for the third deadline of ERASMUS+! Available placements are listed below with some details about the profile requested. They are all long-term projects (meaning activities of 12 months) carried out in Italy.
Please check specific details about each Receiving Organization (link to the EVS database directly on the name of each RO):
> AziendaServizi Sociali di Bolzano (ASSB): 2 vacancies available from April 2015. Activities with elderly people.
> VKE : 1 vacancy available from September 2015. Activities with local children and teenagers.
VKE and ASSB are based in Bolzano which is a bilingual city (Italian and German are official languages and used in everyday life).
> Civica di Trento : 2 vacancies available from April 2015. Project located in Trento. Activities with elderly people.
> ASIF Chimelli (accreditation process, link to the website): activities with local children and teenagers.
Projects foreseen parallel activities involving volunteers from VKE and ASIF Chimelli and volunteers from Civica and ASSB in activities to implement together encouraging intergenerational relationships, and, in the specific case of volunteers hosted in Bolzano boosting intercultural dialogue.
ATTENTION! Regarding activities with elderly people: please consider that it's not the same as spending an afternoon with your grandmother! It's avery beautiful project and there is space to develop own ideas and initiatives but the life of elderly people also involves sometimes loneliness, illness, dementia and death (so you have to be open and prepared to this).
Get inspired and read some of the our ex-volunteers' testimonies
Still interested? So here the application procedure (read them and follow them carefully!):
1) contact your sending organization (we won't accept application done by volunteers directly, only through sending organizations!);
2) get in deep information about EVS and its conditions; read as much as possible about the hostorganization in which you are interested on and the city in which it's located, verifying so if it really matches with your ideas/dreams of experience abroad;
3) discuss the opportunity with your sending organization checking about the opportunity offered and your expectations. Matching profile and opportunities is essential to guarantee a nice service for you! In case of doubts,give us a call! We will be happy to help.
4) ask your sending organization to send us an email with your application as it follows (we won't accept applications done by volunteers directly, only through sending organizations!):
>> email's subject must be: "EVS application InCo: NAME OF THE HOST ORGANIZATION", so, for example: "EVSapplication InCo: Civica" (emails without the specific subject won't be included in the selection process).
>> indication of their contact details as well as their PICnumber and EI number
>> one paragraph with their evaluation about you and how does the activity match with your profile
>> your CV with picture
>> your specific motivation letter (mentioning the Receiving Organisation and specific activities related). Please notice that general motivation letter won't be considered! It's very important that you highlight: why are you interested in this specific kind of activity (not only in EVS in general); what do you think you could learn; which could be the difficulties you could face; how do you think you can contribute to the Receiving Organisation.
The deadline to apply is the 22thSeptember 2014 at noon. Our email is: sve@incoweb.org
If you would like to apply to more than one vacancy, applications haveto be done separately – the documents and evaluation must be specific.
Emails which don't follow the indications won't be processed as valid applications and will be directed again to this announcement. Successful applications will receive an email of confirmation.
Good luck :-)
