About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This ESC team volunteering project will bring together young people from different European countries for one month, from November to December, to create an inclusive and meaningful experience ahead of the Christmas season. The project will take place in collaboration with local organizations working with elderly people and individuals with disabilities, aiming to promote social inclusion and intergenerational solidarity. Volunteers will organize creative workshops, cultural activities, and festive events to brighten the holidays for those who might otherwise experience isolation. Activities will include crafting decorations, preparing small gifts, supporting community events, and engaging in cultural exchange moments with the local community. This opportunity is especially designed for young people with fewer opportunities, offering them the chance to develop new skills, gain international experience, and actively contribute to a solidarity-based initiative.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Food and accommodation will be provided by the host organization according to ESC standards.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will work as a team, learn from each other, and share the values of empathy, cooperation, and creativity. Accommodation, food, and pocket money are provided through the ESC program. The activities will be led by experienced youth workers who will provide task related training sessions.

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).
