International Napoli Network (INN) is a cooperative that partners with local public schools and NGOs to provides resources that support health and welfare, environmental conservation, education. Volunteers and interns are placed with partner NGOs and we support you and our partners during your placement.
INN is supporting a music education project started in February 2012, which currently involves 60 children aged from 4 to 16 years. The main purpose of the project is to facilitate social integration through learning and playing music together, so they reach two goals at the same time: the chance to teach music to unprivileged children and promote social integration in Montesanto, an area of the historic centre of Naples.
Indeed, beside the cultural value of the music education program, we believe that music is an important way to foster personal growth and social inclusion. Playing music refines the cultural sensibility it builds the child character, educating to self-control, concentration and discipline. Furthermore playing music together strengthen civic sense, encourage integration and socialization, respect and collaboration.
40 children from the age of 7 regularly attend six classes where they learn playing clarinet, flute, french horn, percussions, trumpet and oboe. About 20 little children between the age of 4 and 7 years old receive music basics class.

Volunteers assist the teachers in creating a positive and collaborative atmosphere and supporting them in giving instructions to kids and in make them learn music and practicing an instrument. Volunteers will have the chance to see the kids enjoying music and according with the time they are going to spend with them, they will see their improvements as citizen as well as musicians
Musical instruments are lent by the organization to those who cannot afford to buy one.

Volunteers don't need to bring a music instrument or any other special equipment and will work closely with social workers and teachers.
The area where volunteers will work has a big population density and mostly inhabitated by poor families, migrants and children that drop out of school during the legal age. It is very characteristique, dominated by the oldest market of the city and small shops and restaurants which make the best traditional Neapolitan food.
Volunteers leave in the heart of the historical centre, 10-20 minutes walking from placement. Volunteers share dorm with maximum other 7 volunteers of same gender. Both our two accommodations are located in the historical city centre where people gather at night because of the presence of bars and caffetterias. With the increasing of the touristic flow the historical centre of Naples has become safer.
One accommodation is in the same building of the International Napoli Network team office, the second one is just 20 minute walking from the office. Team also offers 24/7 emergency contact.
Typical day
After the initial orientation, you will have usually an afternoon shift at your placement and will work for approximately 3 hours per day. Please note that start times and daily workload depends on the project that you are participating on - some activities run in the afternoon and volunteers on these placements will have the morning free. You may therefore plan daily activities which could include sightseeing, shopping or taking Italian language lessons.
Example of a typical day (Monday to Friday; weekends are usually free)
Morning: Leisure Time
5:00 - 8 PM Regular Music Classes
After 8:00 PM Leisure time
Based on the partner's need (i.e. organizing concerts) schedule may change accordingly.
Free-time activities
Volunteers have the weekends free. Italy is universally recognised for its history, art, culture, cuisine and natural beauty, so there is absolutely no shortage of things to see and do while in Naples or further afield in Italy! Naples has many UNESCO World Heritage sites and volunteers can fill their free time visiting the many historical sites and attractions, tasting the amazing cuisine, sipping espresso in the many café bars or simply exploring parts of Naples by wandering through the beautiful alleys. Rome, home to the Colosseum, Vatican and Sistine Chapel, is just an hour from Naples by train, and the ancient ruins of Pompeii or the gorgeous island of Capri are also just 45 minutes away. Nature lovers can hike the nearby Mt. Vesuvius and visit the beautiful Almalfi Coast to complete the “Walk of the Gods”. Volunteers staying for longer durations, or who wish to travel before or after their program, can visit areas further afield in Italy including; Venice, Cinque Terre, Florence, Milan, Pisa and so much more! Volunteers can make travel arrangements once in Naples, with the advice and guidance of our local staff.
