📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

"Empowering Youth for Environmental and Social Change (ESC)" is an ESC project of Youth Dynamics that brings together enthusiastic participants with fewer opportunities from various countries. Focused on the theme of the skills development, the project aims to promote the European Year of Skills, as well as an active and healthy lifestyle. Through engaging in our organization's activities and collaborations with other institutions, volunteers will not only develop personally but also contribute to the social and daily life development of their communities. This short-term ESC (European Solidarity Corps) project offers volunteers the opportunity to learn, adapt, and grow as they immerse themselves in a new country. By participating in non-formal activities, the project seeks to redefine youth habits and address the needs of the community in Cyprus, with an emphasis on respecting the environment and nurturing good health.

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).
