Volontariato nei Sud del
mondo
Sono esperienze
non solo lontano da casa ma anche lontano da tutto ciò che siamo abituati a
chiamare “europeo” - a partire dai
valori e relazioni interpersonali fino alle condizioni di vita. Sono esperienze
sempre più forti, più stimolanti e allo stesso tempo sicuramente più difficili
che spesso portano alla scoperta - dei mondi diversi, delle diversità
culturali, della cooperazione e della solidarietà, ma anche di se stessi. Sono
esperienze che per molti diventano un turning point. Infatti volontariato si fa
non per cambiare il mondo, ma per piantare il seme di cambiamento nelle
persone.
All’interno del
database http://www.yap.it/campi-di-lavoro/ i campi di volontariato sono
indicati come progetti di breve durata, i progetti di medio e lungo termine
invece hanno il codice “permanent” o “mtv”. Si tratta sempre di sostenere un
progetto di sviluppo locale attraverso varie attività: corso di lingua per i
bambini, salvaguardia dell’ambiente, sopporto di un’associazione di
volontariato ecc.
