The following are eligible young people who, on the date of application, have completed the eighteenth and not surpassed the twenty-eighth year of age (28 years and 364 days) and meet the following requirements:

• SPID (Sistema Unico di Identità Digitale - Single Digital Identity System) or credentials issued by the Department for Youth Policies
• Be an Italian citizen, EU citizen or have a regular residence permit

Those who, on the date of submission of the application, are not eligible:

• belong to the police or armed forces
• have already performed national/universal civilian service or have interrupted it
• have been convicted
• have, at the time of publication of this call for applications, employment, collaboration or paid internship relationships of any kind with the body that owns the programme, the project or with the host body;
• have employment relationships of any kind with the body responsible for the programme, the project or with the host body, of paid employment, collaboration or internship of any
  title lasting more than three months in the 12 months preceding the date of publication of the
  call

It is specified that generic and targeted student collaborations (collaborations "150 hours" or "200" hours) do not fall within the scope of paid employment or collaboration as study support measures: students who have benefited from such collaborations may therefore apply for Civil Service.

Universal Civil Service projects can last from 8 to 12 months.

Volunteers are entitled to a monthly reimbursement of 507.30 euro tax-free, which is paid directly by the Department for Youth Policies and Civil Service and not by the organisation or association promoting the project.

You can only apply for one project, so the first step is to choose the one in which you intend to participate.
Once you have identified the project you wish to apply for you must copy the project code and search for the same project on the Domanda On Line (DOL) platform, indicating it as the chosen one.
You will then need to fill in the other fields of your application, such as your previous experience and your reasons for applying.

Once the call for applications is over, UniGe will convene the selections, which will take place in person. The selection criteria are indicated in the summary sheets of each project. The interviews are formally convened with the mere publication on this site of the selection dates and the candidates involved, although the university undertakes to signal the convocation also to the emails provided at the time of application.

On completion of the interviews, the university will publish provisional rankings. Please note: for reasons of data protection, the candidates' first and last names will not be indicated, but will be anonymised using the application number at the top of the application. You are therefore advised to save this number.

• It is an opportunity for human and social growth and compulsorily provides general and specific training courses
• It is a qualifying experience to be included in one's knowledge base, expendable in the course of one's working life, and which, at times, can itself become a job opportunity
• It can take the form of a concrete opportunity for socialisation at work i.e. an opportunity to come into contact with a working context that has its own rules, which entails reciprocal rights and duties, sharing of responsibilities and objectives, development of links and new relationships
• It offers the opportunity to put into practice the theoretical knowledge learnt during the school-university training pathway, concretely verifying one's professional aptitudes
• The period of community service is assessed in public competitions in the same way and with the same value as the service provided in public bodies
