Solidarity and volunteering in cultural heritage

Sharing experiences of volunteering in Ecomuseo Villa Ficana from an emerging professional perspective

Abstract

The following contribution reflects upon the understanding of the act of solidarity in relation to heritage volunteering projects and emerging professionals. I will mostly draw upon my own experience as a volunteer in various projects, but I will also present some of the testimonies, experiences, and thoughts on the topic from other volunteer colleagues that participated in the projects with me in the projects of European Solidarity Corps and Servizio Civile Universale.
