About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Generation XXI follows the need to continue to raise awareness young people for change and looking for better opportunities, but also for the possibility of understanding the local challenges and connecting them with Europe and the global environment. We believe that fruitful experiences of active participation, volunteering, training and mobility support the development of skills in young people and increase their entrepreneurial skills and therefore employment opportunities, offering a incredible opportunity to support the development of local communities and personal and professional development of local youth. The activities of this project are connected with our areas of intervention and they are: Youth Information Center Environment - Pedagogical Farm Artistic and Cultural Activities - Museum and Library.

The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
