About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The ESC in Sardinia offers young people a meaningful volunteering experience focused on solidarity, inclusion, and personal growth. The project takes place in Oristano, a beautiful town in western Sardinia. In line with the European Youth Strategy, the project aims to foster youth participation, empowerment, and social and civic engagement through non-formal education activities. Volunteers will support social inclusion initiatives, with a special focus on people with fewer opportunities, while developing intercultural skills and a strong sense of European solidarity. Main activities include intercultural and intergenerational workshops, mental health education and wilderness-based activities, and sports, leisure, and recreational initiatives promoting well-being, teamwork, and community life. Living and volunteering in Sardinia means discovering a unique territory rich in nature, culture, and traditions, while contributing to a positive impact at local and European level.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in a private apartment offering comfortable double rooms and shared facilities, including a kitchen, living room, and bathroom. Each volunteer will receive a daily allowance of €11.00 (covering both pocket money and food expenses) to support their living costs and any additional personal expenses during the project. Travel costs will be reimbursed in accordance with the European Commission’s distance band calculator, based on the distance between the place of residence and Oristano.

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).
