Internships UNV, the testimony of Alice Michelazzi: "A good starting point to explore the world of cooperation '

Michelazzi My name is Alice, I am 31 years old and from Milan. I currently live in Africa, Njombe, a small town in the south-western Tanzania, where I work with an NGO on a project for electrification and rural development. I have always had a passion for policy development and international cooperation: I started on a theoretical approach to these issues by studying international and diplomatic sciences at the University of Bologna in Forlì. During his time at university I discovered the Internship Program dell'UNV site UN / DESA, the portal of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs United Nations. I attended, just graduated, banned in 2004 which provided for the departure the following spring. In 2003 in Milan had done community service for CeLIM NGO, Centre for Italian lay missions, but my desire was to move abroad because he had already made contact with several NGOs. Until I was selected and, in March 2005, at age 26, I started my UNV experience: Eritrea destination. The internship, as expected, it lasted a year I signed a contract and I received a refund of $ 1,300 per month [at the time more or less equivalent to 975 euro], to the cost of the life of the country where I was staying. I then also entitled to health insurance and travel round trip from their place of origin. In Eritrea I was the only intern I worked at the UNV office in Asmara, supporting the UNV project manager in all activities of competence of that place: the management of volunteers arriving and departing, the preparation of a newsletter, organization of events related to the UNV Day, to participate in the activities of UNDP headquarters Eritrea. [At this link, the article "Volunteering for human rights in Eritrea and Ethiopia" written by Alice in November 2005 and published on the website A Voluteers in the section "Volunteer Voices"] Despite the usual difficulties and the many problems encountered in a foreign country I believe my experience is extremely positive because it gave me the opportunity to discover the "inside" the world of the United Nations in all its facets. In addition a kind of apprenticeship is an important element to their curriculum, as well as being a good card to play for later professional opportunities. For example, in my case, after the training period UNV, I found working with the NGO Iscos - Trade Union Institute for Economic Cooperation and Development - also in Eritrea, from May to December 2006, following a food security project. Later I came to that which is my current job, Tanzania: Today I return to Italy a couple of times a year. Who dreams of working in cooperation would strongly recommend this experience. Firstly, because living abroad for so long a period can actually touch hands with a certain type context, with all its problems: experience in a direct certain reality, in my opinion, it is essential for them to perform such work. And then UNV placements, having an age limit low enough [you can apply within 26 years] are a good starting point to get in contact with this world. Text assembled by Chiara Del Priore

Until July 30 the invitation is open UNV for internships that start in February 2011. It is not yet established the exact number of seats available, but will be approximately thirty The requirements of the notice (available at www.undesa.it) are aged 26 years (born between January 1, 1984) Italian nationality, fluent in English and preferably another official language of the United Nations year degree, or specialized, or three years followed by a master. It is also crucial to have basic knowledge on the issues of development cooperation. An asset as a volunteer in NGOs or community. The application form to be completed in English, is available at the office UN / DESA or can be downloaded from the sites of Rome and www.undesa.it www.esteri.it. It must be accompanied by a cover letter in English (maximum 200 words), certificates of graduation and post-graduate (photocopies) and a list of all courses attended. The documentation must be sent to the Department of Economic and Social Affairs United Nations (Corso Vittorio Emanuele 251, 00186 Rome), with the words "UNV Internship Programme". There can be run via e-mail or fax. The selection process is managed primarily by the German branch of the United Nations: Italy funds the contracts and decide on the projects to be implemented, in Bonn, however, the profiles are selected from call for talks to be held in November 2010. Successful candidates will take part in January of next year, a two-day briefing in the German city before beginning the internship, the following month. That currently is the tenth edition of the UNV program. A project started in 2000, which has so far involved 292 trainees, only Italian, with about 600 applications each year. A Republic of trainees to explain the features of the proposed standard is Scarlet Sage, program officer of the office of human resources for international cooperation of the United Nations: "Most of the candidates comes from the north and central Italy, including Lombardy, Lazio , Veneto, Emilia-Romagna. The graduates from which we receive more requests come mainly from the University of Bologna, the Bocconi University "La Sapienza" and University of Perugia. Usually, more than double the seats are awarded to women. It may happen that some trainees leave before the end of 12 months, but it is difficult for us to track these data. " One of the most interesting aspects is that, compared with a nearly constant number of requests, the places available to contract has increased from year to year: "If the first edition included 15 placements - Dr. Sage points out - were those 29 allocated for 2009-2010. Sign interest in the strengthening of this type of activity. " That seems to be a good investment for trainees: even if Roma are unable to provide precise numbers, say that in several cases the training was followed by a term contract or permanent placement in the facility where you work.

Items paid € 2.50 and collaborations ever paid. Here are the data of shame that emerge from a research survey published

Information has a cost. In times of crisis, however, this detail seems to overshadow, at least according to research "exposing the publishers," launched a few days ago by the National Order of Journalists. The study analyzes the salaries of freelance, that is employees, some fifty national and local newspapers, looking at the data that they themselves gave to the Order. The picture is alarming: items paid less than € 3, compensation paid in years - or ever. The sentence does not spare any sector: from print to online newspapers, radio and TV. Since the major newspapers, which also receive substantial annual contributions by the state: for example the Republic, which receives 16 million euro of public money, pay a piece of 5-6 thousand jokes only € 30 gross (in 2009 the fee was 50 €), the Messenger comes to a maximum of 27 € for longer articles, in the face of state funding of about € 1 million and a half. In the "list black is also Gazzettino, popular in the northeast, with a circulation of about 100 thousand copies: the fees are € 4 for a piece of no more than a thousand lines, 9.50 € up to 2000, up € 15 three thousand and € 19 if you go over. The abolition of the minimum tariff has not improved things: the final, approved in 2007, split into seven categories tested. In all the examples just above the minimum thresholds set are far from being met: at times the wages paid to employees are below even the minimum of the lower end. The 'facts of shame, "as defined them as national secretary of the Order Enzo Iacopino, is not unique to the tested main. Of all the newspapers online: 4-5 € gross is the average compensation received by the majority of journalists working for newspapers anywhere. Of note is most of the local newspapers: the most striking case is that of the Voice of Romagna, with its gross to 2.50 € article, despite state funding of over € 2 million and a half. However, there are also positive examples: The Gazette pays its employees every 180 € 4200 gross jokes, Il Sole 24 Ore from 60 to 80 € for a piece of about 5000 lines, 50 € for Reform The 5500 lines. Beyond these particular cases, how to curb this exploitation increasingly common? The Minister of Youth Giorgia Meloni (herself A professional journalist since 2006) launched the idea of \u200b\u200ba "blue label", a honorable mention for the heads that have a virtuous behavior with their freelancers. Silvano Moffa, in turn, journalist and chairman of the committee work of the Chamber of Deputies, announced a bill that ties government grants to publishing the obligation to fair pay and minimum guarantees for employees. Meanwhile, survey data were sent to the prosecutor's office to verify the presence of any type of offense in the situations described. The hope is that the complaint followed by concrete action to begin to be fairly compensated for the work of many professionals. Chiara Del Priore
