The social Cooperative META onlus operates through a variety of services that cover the territory of various municipalities in Rome in Italy. Meta has as varied view on the social context of the Italian capital. Each structure of the cooperative tries to answer to problems and needs related to a particular target group, in coordination with the local insitutional network. Each activity is co-planned with the users and their families and it doesn’t represent only a simple recreational moment, but it is also an opportunity to strenghten relationships and connections among users, familiars and local public institutions. Therefore, each action contributes to the realisation of a bigger and more complex project of a city where “being” and “acting” act as antidote to the fragmentation and the insecurity, promoting identity and belonging. For 9 months of their life 2 young volunteers from France and Portugal will integrate their energies and creativity within 2 main socio-educative areas: one targeted to children and the other to young people. During their EVS the volunteers will have also the opportunity to get in contact with other social services provided by the social cooperative Meta in order to have the possibility to enlarge and to concretize their awareness of the local reality.
