More about the project:
Proposed activities to volunteers
Specifically they will be involved in the following activities:
- Animation (under the supervision of the animator): cooperation in the management of group activities like: music activities, game activities, manual laboratories.
During these activities the volunteer can help the hosts to improve their interactive capacities through the development of interpersonal relationships. Volunteers will have the chance to propose new ideas and activities connected with their capacities and interests. In carrying out these new activities volunteers will be always supported and supervised by a referent person of the sector in order to facilitate their realization and development;
- Physiotherapy (under the supervision of the physiotherapist): collaboration in the organization of the soft gym group activities, helping the not self-sufficient hosts during the walks and during the soft gym in order to improve their physical conditions;
- Daily Center (under the supervision of the Service’s manager): collaboration in the different animation activities proposed to the daily center’s hosts. Going with the hosts during the transfer from the House to the Asilo Valdese and the other way around with a bus driven by one of the operator;
- “Soft” basic assistance (under the supervision of the coordinator and the staff)): supporting and assisting the non self-sufficient hosts during the meals time. Help the staff in preparing some of the hosts’ beds and collaboration during the tea time.
When having group activities, the volunteers plan their tasks with the Project’s staff. Each volunteer takes over different tasks and accomplish them with the overall supervision of the operators. Some activities can be done by both volunteers, when an extra support is needed and/or when all the hosts are together and only one working group is run.
Volunteers hosted at ASILO VALDESE, will be encouraged to promote and to implement new volunteering activities.
The host organization as well will create new volunteering opportunities for EVS volunteers.
