About the project

ESC: From Seed to Feed — Social Media Manager in Athens (6 months)

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Based in the vibrant Zografou district of Athens, near the University campus, our organization, the EEEK Athens, is a youth-focused NGO dedicated to empowering young individuals, especially those from migrant backgrounds. Established by a group of 20 visionaries and driven by a core team of five dedicated members, we aim to address two critical areas: youth entrepreneurship and healthy living. Our primary objective is to cultivate entrepreneurial skills among university students, preparing them for the competitive landscape of the free market. We place a significant emphasis on integrating marginalized youth, particularly from migrant backgrounds, into our activities. This integration not only fosters a sense of community but also promotes diversity and inclusivity. Another key focus area is promoting a healthy lifestyle among the youth. Recognizing the shift towards physical activities during the pandemic, we are now taking a step further by introducing concepts of nutritious diets and the benefits of microgreens. Our goal is to break the stereotype that superfoods are only for the affluent, making them accessible to all, especially young people. Our target groups are primarily university students in Zografou, with a special focus on young individuals from migrant backgrounds. Through our various activities, we strive to create a supportive environment where these young people can develop their skills, enhance their well-being, and contribute positively to society.

💼 What the programme involves

Do you speak Instagram, TikTok and Reels better than any actual language? Come and run ours. EVEC Athens teaches young people green and digital skills. Our biggest project turns microgreens into a real business opportunity for people with no land and no money to start. Your job is to make Greece notice. For 6 months you will run @evecathens and @evec.microgreens on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok: planning content, filming, editing, growing the audience and building a community around a project that is literally growing on our shelves. Before you apply, look at evec.org.gr, microgreens.org.gr and our profiles. In your motivation letter, tell us how YOU would grow our followers and our engagement. Concrete ideas beat nice words. And you do all of it from Athens: 300 days of sun, the sea 20 minutes away, and a city that never runs out of content. Apartment photos and full info: evec.org.gr/esc

🏠 Accommodation on site

You live in a fully equipped 100 m² apartment in Zografou, a safe green student neighbourhood. Three bedrooms shared with other volunteers, plus kitchen, bathroom and living room. Our office, two university campuses, 24/7 supermarkets and a twice-weekly farmers' market are all within walking distance. You receive €420 per month for food and pocket money. Travel to and from Athens, accommodation, insurance and an online language course are fully covered. You pay nothing. See the apartment: evec.org.gr/esc

🎒 Leisure activities

You get the official European Solidarity Corps on-arrival and mid-term training, plus a free online language course. Inside EVEC you will be trained in content strategy, short-form video, community management and analytics — and you will learn to grow microgreens yourself, because you cannot tell a story you have never lived. You get a mentor for personal support and a coordinator for your tasks, with weekly feedback sessions. At the end you receive a Youthpass certificate documenting everything you learned.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: You are 18–30 and legally resident in an ESC programme country. You live on social media and you create, not just scroll. You know your way around Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, and you can shoot and edit a Reel on your phone without panicking. CapCut, Canva or something similar is already on your phone. You speak enough English to work with us. Greek is not required — you will pick some up anyway. You are curious about sustainability, food and entrepreneurship. You do not need to know anything about microgreens; we will teach you that. You do need to find it interesting. Big plus: if you already run social media profiles with a real following — your own or ones you have managed — send them to us. That is your portfolio, and it counts for more than any diploma. In your motivation letter: visit evec.org.gr, microgreens.org.gr and our profiles @evecathens and @evec.microgreens, then tell us concretely how you would grow our followers and our engagement. Specific ideas get you shortlisted. Generic letters do not. No degree required — we care about what you can make.
Deadline: 10/09/2026 00:00

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).
