PAESELLO PRIDE: SUPPORTING LGBTQIA+ FESTIVAL
- Circo pace e bene is a cultural association that carries out activities of various types aimed at the most vulnerable people in the Milena area (children, people with disabilities, young people, the elderly, the unemployed, migrants). The organization mainly carries out artistic and cultural activities and realizes different projects to raise awareness in schools of all levels. The association was founded in 2015 in Milena, Sicily, by a group of local people with experience in volunteering and international mobility. The aim of the association is to encourage locals to be active in order to bring about the changes they want to see. The association represents a breakthrough for the locals and the territory where it is located, through their commitment and support. Its work contributes to the enrichment of Sicilian culture and territory. The NGO runs a space called Magazzino in Milena, which is used to promote cultural events, festivals, active participation and advocacy.
- Volunteers will support the 3rd edition of the Paesello Pride Week (3–8 August, San Giovanni Gemini and Cammarata), a week-long series of events promoting LGBTQIA+ rights and visibility, culminating in the Paesello Pride. Before and during the festival, volunteers will help prepare and organise event spaces, assisting with cleaning, arranging areas for workshops, talks, parades and gatherings, and supporting the general logistics of the festival. During the events, volunteers may help welcome participants, support the management of workshops and meetings, assist with parades and community activities, and contribute to the promotion and documentation of the festival, including social media content. Through their involvement, volunteers will actively contribute to a unique rural LGBTQIA+ festival, supporting community engagement, visibility, and local initiatives that foster inclusion, diversity, and social change.
- Volunteers will live in a basic apartment, with all the essential facilities for daily life but very simple in style. They will sleep in shared rooms with 3–4 beds, divided by gender. The volunteers, divided into groups and working in shifts, will take care of the management and cleaning of the house and will prepare meals in a common kitchen.
- Cammarata is a small village in the province of Agrigento. The village is located in a rural mountainous context at 423 m above sea level. Like most remote Sicilian villages, it is served by a limited number of public transport services, so the organization of free time could be limited to visiting nearby places or organizing excursions out of town. Volunteers may be accommodated in a village near the location where the activities take place and will travel daily using transportation provided by the hosting organization.
- Volunteers should like the idea of living in a small town and experiencing collective life. Volunteers should enjoy working in a rural community and participating in cultural and social events. Interest in manual work, event organisation, and teamwork is recommended.
