About the project

ESC: ECO - Heroes

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

ECO Heroes is a team volunteering ESC project with the participation of 15 volunteers from several EU countries. We have chosen a topic that knows no borders: environmental sustainability, focusing on the 4R’s—reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover. Youth will work together to gain knowledge on the effects of leading a non-sustainable lifestyle. Participants will share how they deal with sustainability in their home countries, benefiting from being part of an intercultural environment. Intercultural dialogue and communication will be approached through an environmental theme and the thematic area of multi-communal societies and division. This project has as main aim to bring together 15 young people from many European countries with the intention of achieving direct impact on the local society of Pieria through helping the locals to establish a pro-environmental behavior. Through this project we want to activate and engage the local society about the environmental issues.

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).
