This May the group of Italian senior volunteers of the project PORTA NUOVA began its training to be ready for their volunteering experience in Cornwall next month. The project is a part of Give, a LLP programme for senior volunteers.
CESIE already hosted 6 English senior volunteers in Palermo. The Italian volunteers will be hosted by our partner Point Europa, which will take care to follow the group during their daily activities in Cornwall.
The training includes an English language course, which will help the volunteers to tackle the fear of a foreign language!
In May, our local partner the Centro per lo Sviluppo Creativo Danilo Dolci has hosted three English volunteers for the project Active Now. With pleasure the 2 groups of volunteers get to know each other. The two groups shared knowledge, language and cuisine of the own country. These meetings reduced the culture shock and have enhanced the curiosity and motivation of volunteers to know and get involved.
