It has its headquarters in the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia in Vicolo Selvatico, 16 in Pordenone, but it covers the areas of Friuli Venezia Giulia, part of Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige. The “Casa Ricchieri” Community in Pordenone, via Ricchieri nr. 2, is a residential community in the mental health sector which employs 9 workers and offers a residential and social-rehabilitation service for people with psychiatric problems. The service is always open and the community is only 500 m. from the cooperative’s administrative offices and 1000 m. from the apartment for volunteers. Casa Ricchieri concentrates on taking in and getting to know people in difficulty, their background, and the people who are key to them. Paths are also mapped out to overcome problematics based on individual needs and capabilities. Family members, friends and significant figures are involved whenever possible along with the cooperation of the public Health Authority. In essence, we take great care to put in motion every possible resource required to reach these objectives, by giving access to all the resources provided by Itaca and the district as a whole. We are looking for one volunteer. If the volunteers are going to be able to handle the project and the tasks, they will have to demonstrate motivation and an attitude for interpersonal relationships and team work, the willingness to learn, a patient and flexible personality, curiosity, pragmatism, and sensitivity. The volunteers must be willing to share accommodation with other Europeans (even if living space and independence is guaranteed) and be willing to be part of a multicultural environment. The project is guaranteed to be equally accessible to all young people without exception. The service is always open and the community is only 500 mt from the cooperative’s administrative offices and 1000 mt from the volunteer’s flat. The activities of the project "We stick out" will be specifically related to:• Support to the guests: the volunteer will support the guests of the house to reach a self government of their lives and to realize different creative activities. The volunteer will motivate them during their daily activities according to their needs and skills (like making beds, cooking, going out for some shop), and support them to participate to recreation activities (like going out for a cup of coffee or to the cinema) or basic training.• Music workshop: listening to national and international music, afterwards sharing emotions, feelings and memories that might be inspired by the notes or the musical texts.• Computer workshop: learning the basic computer activities and the ability to connect to the web platforms.• Movie workshop: the volunteer will be a support on the creation of a movie about people with mental diseases where the guests might be actors and talk about themselves and the society where they live. Other people is involved in this project, like local residents, volunteers, parents, people who would be interested to cooperate with the target of a social inclusion.The volunteers will be placed in a work group of experienced professionals who are constantly supervised by a coordinator. The volunteer’s weekly activities will be organized on the basis of about 35-38 hours per week. After an initial phase in which the volunteers will be encouraged to observe, listen and pay attention to the relational dynamics, they will begin a more active phase. Once the relationship has been consolidated, the volunteers will take part in individual activities and projects that will enable them to interact with the team, the users and the local community. European volunteers represent the European citizens and future workers, undoubtedly giving the volunteers a certain experience that is often and interesting first approach towards a working environment and to an environment different of origins.
