Reggie, the Asperger Ambassador
Date du début: 17 juin 2014, Date de fin: 16 déc. 2014 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Short Term project including 1 young man affected by Asperger Syndrome from U.K. for 2 months. He will volunteer in Anffas Onlus Pordenone, a Centre for people with special needs in Pordenone, North East of Italy. By participating in this project volunteers will develop awareness and understanding of the disabled people life and that diversity and inclusion are built upon the concept of mutualism which is the collaboration of “differences” to achieve a greater value. This process will be carried out through intergenerational contacts linking the EVS volunteer who support the adults and the children with special needs. voluntary service has a double function: educational and training. This project enables volunteers to develop inter-cultural competencies and ‘soft skills’ such as self-confidence, leadership, teamwork and communication.It’s a true learning experience where the volunteers realize how much impact they have on the disabled people lives and that they can make a difference by being there. All Anffas activities are multi-disciplinary: everybody interacts with each other in a safe supportive environment where any contribution is considered a key element to personal development and success of the project. ANFFAS Onlus Pordenone within the EVS Programme will act as Coordinator and Hosting Organization while CISV GB will be the Sending partner. Together we aim to create a fruitful exchange of experience, knowledge, perspective on different levels. Through the volunteers, the SO and the HO could build good partnership in order to continue their cooperation in the future. Anffas will share and promote Reggie's experience with all the 250 Anffas in Italy and other associations working with people with special needs. Not only they will benefit from the international mobility but also other Italian young people who were not brave enough to think they could leave for such a project.
