On 15th December the 2022 civil service call for the selection of volunteer operators was published on the www.politichegiovanili.gov.it website and is to be read with great attention.

Applications can be submitted before 14.00 on 10th February 2023.

Applications are also open to young people who:

• In the course of 2021, due to the effects of the epidemiological emergency from Covid-19, they cut short their service voluntarily or because the project in which they were engaged was definitively cut short by the institution,
• Cut short the Civil Service at the conclusion of a sanctioning procedure at the expense of the entity that caused the revocation of the project, or due to the closure of the project or place of implementation upon a reasoned request from the entity, on condition that, in all cases, the period of the service provided did not exceed six months;
• Cut short the national or universal Civil Service due to the excess of 10 days of illness, on the condition that the period of service did not exceed 6 months;
• Have already carried out civil service as part of the European experimental project International Volunteering Opportunities for All and as part of the projects for the Civil Peace Corps;

Applications are not open to young people who:

• Have cut short the national or universal Civil Service before the set deadline;
• At the time of the publication of this notice, entertain work relations/collaborations which are paid in any capacity with an entity that owns a project, or has had such relationships lasting more than three months in the 12 months preceding the date of the publication of the notice; paid internships are also included in these cases.

Other additional requirements specified in the individual projects can be added to these requirements (it is essential to read the project sheets carefully).

On the websites of the Department www.politichegiovanilieserviziocivile.gov.it and www.scelgoilserviziocivile.gov.it the Guide for the completion and presentation of the Online Application with the DOL platform is disponsible

Starting this year, it will be possibile to apply exclusively online through the dedicated DOL platform (https://domandaonline.serviziocivile.it), accessible via PC, smartphone, and tablet, through the PDIS (Public Digital Identity System).
To apply through the PDIS it is necessary to have a valid identity document, health insurance card, email address, and phone number (information and applications are available on https://www.spid.gov.it/)
Young foreigners who cannot apply through PDIS, may request temporary access credentials directly for the department.

The DOL platform, which allows you to fill in the application form and submit it, has a principle page “Applications for participation” structured in 3 sections (1- Project; 2- Data and declarations; 3- Qualifications and experiences) and with a button “submit the application”.

Young people will be able to identify their preferred chosen project through a specific search engine and fill in the application, only one can be chosen for the whole call. The system will let you know in real-time how many applications have already been received for each project, so that the choice can also be more considered, reducing the dispersion of applications on projects with a high number of applications but few places.

It will be important to pay attention to the moment of the final submission of application because no modifications or withdrawals can be made after. However, before this step, you can repeatedly save the data, verify the correctness of the compilation and then proceed with the application only when you are sure. An email receipt will confirm to the person that the application has been submitted.

Attached is the summary of the SCU FOCSIV Selection System, with the criteria taken into consideration for the purpose of evaluating the applications.

Communication with the Italian headquarters: For each of the provided locations of the chosen project, the possibility for young volunteers to contact the Italian offices through the usual means of communication is foreseen and guaranteed: email, Skype, and telephone. For this purpose, we will refer both to the places of the project and, where possible, the abroad residence facility of the volunteers. In Italy, a person of contact will accompany the volunteers during their training and then will also act as an additional reference and accompaniment during their stay abroad.

Return to Italy: The White Helmets project provides the possibility of a return to Italy approximately halfway through the project, for the purpose of evaluating the progress of activities, the personal growth of the volunteer and the dissemination of the project on the national territory. Any intermediate return will be agreed between the OLP of the project site abroad and the person in charge of each indiviudal intervention in Italy. If the site does not plan to allow the intermediate return of the volunteer in the project, this information will be communicated to the volunteer before the project starts. The project implementation times will therefore be:

• Start of service;
• General training and Specific Training in Italy; preparation of documents (Visas, Aeroplane Tickets; Vaccinations) between 20 and 40 days;
• Departure abroad;
• Specific Training on site within the first 90 days;
• Any intermediate trip about halfway through the project to monitor the activities carried out;
• Final return to Italy during the last month of service;
