🌍 ESC Volunteering Project in Italy – Play4Inclusion: Music, Creativity & Sustainability for All! 🇮🇹🎶

Are you ready to use creativity, rhythm, and teamwork to make the world more inclusive? Join Play4Inclusion in Altamura, Italy, and explore how music and recycling can unite people and spark positive change! Hosted by Associazione Link APS, this ESC volunteering experience blends creativity, environmental awareness, and community impact.

Through this project, volunteers will craft musical instruments from recycled materials — turning old household items and discarded objects into vibrant sounds of inclusion. Together, a group of “non-musicians” will learn to play, listen, and create harmony as a team. Their music workshops will bring joy to primary school children and people with cognitive disabilities, proving that music truly belongs to everyone. 🎵♻️

🏡 Living & Support
Volunteers will stay in a shared apartment (two per room) in Altamura. Accommodation and food are fully covered by the host organisation following ESC standards. Three meals are provided daily, and pocket money is included according to ESC rules.

🎓 Learning & Training
Participants will gain hands-on experience in teamwork, creativity, empathy, and cooperation. They’ll join intercultural activities, sustainability workshops, and music sessions guided by experienced youth workers.

👥 Who Can Join?
Open to young people (18–30) eager to live their first international volunteering experience. No musical background is needed — just motivation, curiosity, and willingness to share, create, and connect.
