ESC: Blue Horizon

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This project aims to enhance civic engagement among children and young individuals by fostering their participation in community affairs. It promotes active citizenship, sustainable development, and non-formal education through hands-on experiences rather than theoretical instruction.Twelve ESC volunteers will mentor and support young participants in designing and implementing community-led initiatives. By guiding them in addressing local challenges through social entrepreneurship and civic action, the project nurtures their role as future active citizens.Recognizing the broader societal challenge of passivity and limited civic involvement, this initiative seeks to empower children and youth to transition from passive observers to proactive changemakers. By working collaboratively with ESC volunteers and educators, they will develop essential 21st-century skills, gain confidence in their capacity to effect change, and foster a lasting sense of agency and social responsibility.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be housed in fully furnished apartments, accommodating 3 to 4 individuals per unit. Each apartment features a shared kitchen, bathroom, and dormitory-style sleeping area. To ensure comfort and convenience, roommates will be assigned based on gender.The accommodation includes essential furnishings such as bed sheets, a pillow, and a blanket. Volunteers are kindly requested to bring their own towels. The kitchen is fully equipped with necessary utensils, including plates, cutlery, pots, glasses, and cups, allowing volunteers to prepare their own meals.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will participate in the On-Arrival Training and Mid-Term Meeting, both organized by the Romanian National Agency. Throughout the project, they will benefit from regular mentorship sessions and Romanian language classes to support their integration and personal development. Additionally, volunteers will receive ongoing guidance and assistance from activity coordinators, teachers, and the organization's staff, ensuring a well-supported and enriching experience.

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).
