"Let's learn the cultures and solidarity" is an activity carried out in collabora-tion with primary schools in Cagliari with the aim of disseminating and shar-ing the importance of multiculturalism, solidarity and voluntary work among children and adolescents. The activity will consist in the preparation, implementation and evaluation of activities that our staff take place in schools, aimed at deepening the knowledge of the cultures of EVS volunteers, their volunteering experiences, and to promote volunteerism and values such as solidarity and tolerance. Through non-formal education sessions, students will be encouraged to ex-plore the diversity and variety of cultures that exist inside and outside their small frame of reference (home, school, leisure). They will have the oppor-tunity to meet third sector and youth volunteers in our community. Another task will be to draw up a brochure summarizing at the end of the activities.
