Universal Civil Service

The Universal Civil Service is the voluntary decision to dedicate up to one year of one’s life to the unarmed and non-violent defence of the homeland, to education, to peace among peoples and to the promotion of the founding values of the Italian Republic, through actions for the community and the territory.

Since 2023 the Fondazione Pastificio Cerere has been a host centre for the Universal Civil Service and has taken part in the call for volunteers issued by Dipartimento per le politiche giovanili e il servizio civile with the project CITTÀ COME CULTURA: DALLA CONSAPEVOLEZZA CULTURALE ALLA CONTAMINAZIONE DEI TERRITORI 2025 (May 2025 – May 2026), developed in collaboration with Arci Servizio Civile Roma Aps.

The project is part of the Città futura: inclusione, cultura, sostenibilità 2025 programme, which aims to promote access to, enjoyment and creation of culture, proposing inclusive models that encourage participation, mobilisation and a sense of belonging to the community, even among the most vulnerable population groups. In particular, it aims to promote the active involvement of the younger generations in the world of culture, thus counteracting the social divide with a perspective of cultural, educational and social inclusion.
