About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

2 young people, from EU countries, can join the team of volunteers (composed of 5 youngsters from IT, PL, RO, ESP) as long-term volunteers. They can develop their personality, and leadership skills, and will learn in theory and in practice about the outdoor experiential education and trainer role.

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).
