About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Portuguese Red Cross Youth is going to host 15 young volunteers in the citiy of Bragança, Braga, Guimarães, Cucujãe, Vale de Cambra and Sanguedo, in an ESC volunteering project called: ALCG II. During different periods of time 7, 8 and 10 months, these volunteers will carry out different activities that aim to foster solidarity in children and youngsters, not only amongst themselves, but also towards every human being, regardless of nationality, gender or race. Volunteers will work effectively in the social inclusion of children and vulnerable young people living in these communities. At the same time they will develop their own personal and social skills. Our aim is to include the volunteers in the projects of these Portuguese Red Cross youth structures if they feel motivated, but also allow their participation when it comes to event planning and communication activities and even motivate them to create their own projects and develop their ideas among our target groups.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
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).
