"Not to be confused with the Christian most known definition, V.I.A.T.I.C.U.M, acronym of “Volunteers in Action to Improve Competences Union and Mood” refers to a rare and unknown meaning of the word: ""provisions or a travel allowance for a journey”. A definition re-discussed by 9 great and unique partners representing the widest panorama of organisations which base their activity on saving people, animals and our earth.V.I.A.T.I.C.U.M is a project which wasn’t born yesterday but a long time ago. Thanks to a previous K2 project leaded by the Maltese partner (2015-2017), some of the organisations of the new consortium have already worked together and are today owners of a precious luggage of experiences and learning. That’s why V.I.A.T.I.C.U.M. which for us has an even deeper sense: the baggage of experiences and new competences acquired during a journey which belongs to the European Community. V.I.A.T.I.C.U.M. new edition is the strategic partnership bigger and stronger, leaded by Edelweiss based in one of the poorest, disadvantaged but most beautiful region of Italy: Calabria region. The project is focused on adult learners and is based on 3 main aims:1) Give continuity and realise a second part of the manual “Rescue techniques for emergency response” which has been and is still the first one realized in Europe thanks to Erasmus support as “Introductory manual for European Volunteer Rescuers”. An updated manual would develop 3 new urgent chapters: “Search: K9 and technical equipment”, “Cave rescue”, “Logistics and management (creation and management oftends cities for emergency rescuers)”.2) Raise attention on the fundamental work done by common citizens in Europe and all around the world, who base their action on volunteering and self training, spirit of initiative and pure human vocation to save people’s and animal’s lives, nature and to protect environment and cultural heritage, art and assure safe&security for all in all possible context.3) Create other two important tools aiming at the mainstreaming of the importance of volunteering in the actual world society and at the same time, useful for experts rescuers and new comers to enter in contact with volunteering organisations of their local contexts.In line with these 3 main aims, on behalf of V.I.A.T.I.C.U.M , 9 partners from 9 Countries in cooperation with other key strategic associated national and local partners (wider networks) plan to realise 3 main outputs:1. European Volunteer Rescuers - 2nd volume (which together with the already existing 1st manual will form a Full complete manual) 2. Rescue Pocket Manual3. RESCUE APP (and HD videos for and on rescuers) based on a website containing the main important informations for all citizens on “what are the risks and the dangers in our common lives and how rescuers risk their lives to save humans and animals”. The platform texts will be produced and translated in the main important languages of communication (English, Spanish and Italian). All materials are plurilingual. Furthermore, the website/app will contain a certain number of H.D videos produced by partners showing study cases, phenomena and events when the intervention of rescuers is required, it solves problems/crises or saves lives. The APP is a powerful direct channel also to ask for help and interact directly with rescuers. In a future, the materials realised can be increased in the time and be part of a dedicated Web-TV or TV channel.V.I.A.T.I.C.U.M is a 3-years project which, for a first stage (1 year) will continue the job interrupted in 2017, which, informally, never stopped. 6 months will be dedicated to the realisation of the hand-pocket version of the whole manual (1st and 2nd part), 1 year for the creation of the platform linked with an app to be promoted and downloaded all around the world. 36 months of team building, training adults to be high skilled “rescuers” able to face different situations and prevent risks for the humanity.Project structure. Along 3 years partners will divide into working teams and will attend 5 physical T.P. Meetings in Italy, Malta, France, Hungary and Spain + 1 virtual/online TPM6, will organise 20 Multiplier events and 3 Learning Mobilities (Portugal, Italy and Malta). Transnational Project Meetings are 2-days events considered as part of the coordination and management process all along the project. Team Leaders take part to these meetings to check, evaluate, plan and establish deadlines to implement the whole project. Each team works in their local contexts in constant communication and coordination with the leading organisation and with all the partners. Learning Mobilities are strategic and innovative meetings focused on learning and practice on the field, train high skilled rescuers/trainers. These 7 days meetings are key moments to produce contents, share and train participants, consolidate the whole learning process and strengthen team building."
