    Over het programma

    Assist adults with severe cognitive disabilities by supporting their daily life, accompanying them to workshops and outdoor therapy with horses and encouraging their autonomy.


    This international internship offers students and recent graduates the chance to gain hands-on experience working closely with adults with severe disabilities, supporting their daily activities and workshops. Part of this program is a project powered by the municipality of Rome that promotes activities for people with severe disabilities without adequate family support. The service accompanies people on a path to a more autonomous and independent life, especially when parents or family members can no longer take care of them. The goal is to allow them to continue living in an environment as similar as possible to their home and in respect of their needs and desires.

    You will also accompany the adults with disabilities to outdoor therapy with horses, which supports socialization and psychophysical well-being. In collaboration with qualified operators, educators, therapists and experts in the field, each person forms their own relationship with the horses.

    Your tasks will be adapted to your participation dates and the real-time needs of our partner NGOs, ensuring a meaningful, immersive experience with a positive impact.

    Accomodatie

    Volunteers are accommodated in a hostel in the very city center, 15min walking to the main station in Rome, Termini. You can expect to share the dorm with up to three more volunteers of the same gender. Every room has its own bathroom; also you can find common toilets around the hostel. Bedding and towels are provided, and there are shared western bathrooms. Staff will clean the accommodation throughout the week, however volunteers are required to keep their room tidy. 

    The hostel offers a common kitchen on the third floor to warm or prepare some food (not big meals). 

    Wi-Fi covers the entire structure

    The closest pharmacy is 5mins walking distance to the hostel.
