Meet our volunteer Alessio

March 13, 2026

Hello! I am Alessio. I am a young man from Southern Italy who wants to do and experience as much as possible to develop and improve myself. I enjoy engaging in a wide variety of activities – both mental and practical. I try to see everything as an experience that, with the right attitude, can help me grow. By education, I have a bachelor's degree in sociology, and I am currently pursuing a master's degree in innovation and social development.

I wanted to join the European Solidarity Corps to personally understand the meaning of volunteer work in a country so different from my own. I believe this experience will help me be more open and better understand my role in society. This is an excellent project for people who want to gain new experiences and learn more about themselves. I think I can develop a lot here.

I have noticed how different everything is compared to Italy – from the fair-haired people to the buildings, food, and rules. People here seem calmer and more reserved, and youth centers are wonderful places for young people, offering many different games, books, and activities. In such an environment, young people can develop well, thanks to the caring individuals who work here and support them. I wish them all the best.

I hope to be a mentor to the people here and, at the same time, grow through them — so that we can mutually inspire and enlighten each other.

3 facts about me:

I really enjoy sports.
I see inspiration in everything, even in bad experiences.
I like to analyze everything from a sociological and psychosocial perspective. So be ready!

In this environment a youth person could grow better, thankfully for the caring people who works here and support them. I hope the best for them.

I hope that I will be a mentor for the people here, to enlighten me up until I enlighten them up.
