🏢 About the local organisation

Hellenic Youth Participation is a grassroot NGO based in Athens, created by youth workers who want to support connection, caring and change at local, national and international level.
HYP’s pillars are community building, solidarity, empowerment and life-long learning. The main aim of the organization is to inspire and stimulate European citizens to become active parts of their local and European community. Through our projects we aim at the promotion of volunteering, youth activism and the importance of personal development.
We offer an open, diverse, multi-layered and curious space where everything is possible in order to raise awareness about the topics that are important in our communities such as art, human rights, personal & professional development, employability skills, democracy, conscious living and environmental awareness.
Our motto is get involved, stay active.

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).
