The Municipality of Venice is looking for 79 young people to be employed in 15 projects

79 places are made available by the City of Venice as part of the call for the 2022 Universal Civil Service that seeks young people, both sexes, between 18 and 29 years old, Italian, EU and non-EU citizens (in accordance with the residence permit).

The projects that the City of Venice will start in 2022 are 15, divided into three areas:

Education, accompaniment, sharing: community development actions through personal support
A changing city: development of citizenship and the territory for an inclusive and supportive future
Venice: art, environment, culture to live, protect and educate
The project inherent to the Europe Direct office, belonging to the second area, aims to promote European identity among young people, transnational mobility, increase intracultural dialogue by promoting initiatives with students and citizens

The projects last 12 months, with a commitment of 25 hours per week and a monthly allowance of 440.30 euros.

The volunteer operators will also be able to take part in two training courses: a general one concerning the values of the Civil Service and a specific training, relating to the activities that the volunteer operator will carry out during the year.

The locations involved will not be only the municipal ones: a numebr of the 86 volunteers will be sent to partner institutions of the City, such as the Civic Museums Foundation, the Biennale, the Foundation Querini Stampalia, the University Pastoral, the Opera Santa Maria della Carità, IPAV and the Agape Onlus Association.

The Civil Service therefore also becomes an opportunity to experiment and train in different and stimulating working environments; it is also recognized in terms of university credits.
