Particular emphasis is placed on sectors such as Creative Industries,with focus to underrepresented groups. After all, Cube was founded by people who really care and have been working as volunteers for many years in specific fields. Moreover, we organize speeches, exhibitions, seminars, and conferences with educational and social character covering entrepreneurial, environmental, and social inclusion topics, as well as awareness raising campaigns for Roma inclusion.

💼 What the programme involves

This 2-week ESC volunteering team activity in Greece brings together 12 young people to explore sustainability and inclusion through creative, hands-on practices. Participants will engage in innovative crafting workshops using recycled and eco-friendly materials, promoting conscious consumption and environmental awareness. Through collaborative creation, non-formal learning, and intercultural exchange, the project fosters teamwork, empathy, and active participation. Volunteers will co-create artistic outputs and community-oriented initiatives that reflect shared values of inclusion, creativity, and sustainability. The activity aims to empower young people to become more socially and environmentally responsible while strengthening their sense of initiative and community engagement.

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).
