About the project

ESC: BUILDING GREEN LEGACY THROUGH VOLUNTEERING

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This project, "Building Green Legacy Through Volunteering", is a volunteering initiative under the European Solidarity Corps. It will take place in the rural village of Borje, on the Pelješac peninsula, from October 13th to October 31st. The project will bring together 14 international volunteers, united by a shared purpose: to actively contribute to the revitalization of the local community. At its core, this project is a powerful demonstration of solidarity and active citizenship in action. The name itself reflects our dual mission—to create a tangible, green legacy for the future of Borje and to highlight the transformative power of volunteering. By connecting international volunteers with a small rural community that rarely hosts such projects, we are building a bridge of mutual understanding and cooperation.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You'll be accommodated in Robin Borje, a traditional rural guesthouses made of beautiful stone houses. Each house will host 2-4 volunteers and includes its own bathroom. All meals will be served in a shared dining area within the guesthouse complex, providing a great space for everyone to gather and socialize. Participants will be provided with 3 meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) during the working days (Monday – Friday). For the weekends, participants will prepare their own meals with ingredients provided by the organizer. Travel expenses bill be covered in line with ESC rules.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Commitment and Involvement: Volunteers should be fully committed to participating in all project activities with enthusiasm and dedication. They should be prepared to contribute their time and effort to developing the educational polygon and enhancing the community's connection to nature. Rural Living and Volunteering: Volunteers must be aware and ready to live and volunteer in a rural setting. This includes being prepared for rural living conditions, outdoor work, and the challenges that come with a natural environment. Teamwork and Cultural Exchange: Volunteers should be eager to work in a team and live harmoniously with other volunteers from different countries. This project is a great opportunity for cultural exchange, so an open-minded and cooperative attitude is essential. Language Skills: A basic level of English is required to ensure effective communication among volunteers and with project coordinators. This will facilitate teamwork, learning, and overall project success. Inclusivity and Health Considerations: Health or other obstacles should not prevent potential volunteers from applying. However, it is important that they inform the organizers in advance to ensure that necessary measures can be taken to support their participation and maintain positive group dynamics. Age Requirement: Volunteers should be between 18 and 30 years old. This ensures a dynamic and energetic group that can fully participate in the physically and socially engaging activities of the project.

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).
