The Regional Civil Service is an opportunity offered by the Emilia-Romagna Region for young people aged 18 to 29 to invest several months of their lives in activities connected to the territory and community. It aims to promote peace, social justice, active citizenship, and non-violent, unarmed defense through participation in projects involving assistance, civil protection, enhancement of historical, artistic, and cultural heritage, education and cultural and social promotion, urban regeneration, social agriculture, promotion of peace among peoples, and nonviolence.

The Civil Service is a formative and personal growth experience, including general training based on the principles and history of Civil Service, and specific training focused on the intervention areas of individual projects.
