Anna Pia on her digital civil service.
For various months, eight volunteers from the digital civil service have been collaborating with the Fondazione Mondo Digitale through the Italian Association of Foundations and Philanthropic Bodies (Assifero).
Over the course of the year, young volunteers work on digital education and tutoring at the Rome Città Educativa and throughout the city. Activities include tutoring, territorial animation, organizational management, communication, and dissemination of initiatives and services. This is an inspiring and meaningful journey with a positive impact on all of our initiatives. And it is a unique opportunity for personal and professional growth both for the volunteers and for the Fondazione Mondo Digitale staff who support them. In particular, the volunteers are followed by Cecilia Stajano, Community Coordinator at Fondazione Mondo Digitale, and Ilaria Graziano, Project Manager, as local project operators.
To help you discover their stories and aspirations more closely, we are resuming our interviews with operators who share the experiences and motivations that pushed them into this adventure and the prospects for the future. The interviews are conducted Onelia Onorati.
Today, we present Anna Pia Ambrosio, 21, from Naples, who is studying physics at Sapienza University of Rome.
What made you choose to become a digital civil service volunteer and what do you expect?
As an adolescent, I had the opportunity to meet civil service volunteers and I immediately thought I could become one, one day. I decided to register for the call because I wanted to participate in an activity that would give me satisfaction and be rewarding. The choice of the digital sphere was provided by the activities promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale. This experience should provide me with personal growth opportunities as well as the commitment to provide a community service.
What are you enjoying most about your commitment with FMD?
I am currently very satisfied with all the activities that have been assigned to me and thanks to which I am improving my skills and problem-solving abilities.
What impact do you think FMD can have on people?
The influence of FMD on individuals is given through its determination to fight social inequality, focusing on improving skills and digital literacy, with the objective of leaving no one behind.
What do you think your contribution may be?
My role is to collaborate with Coding Girls, a task that suits my skills, and also marks the inspiring principle behind this commitment.
What skills and knowledge will you field in this adventure with FMD and what skills do you expect to develop through this digital volunteering experience?
During the course of this year collaborating with FMD, I intend to apply my skills to STEAM. Moreover, I want to use my relational, organisational, and problem-solving skills, and hope this experience will improve me personally as well as increase my knowledge.
What would you like to do in the future?
I would like to become an astronaut or researcher in the space sector.
