About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This volunteering project offers a meaningful opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of older people. Volunteers will support elders in day centers by creating and facilitating interactive activities, as well as visiting and assisting isolated elders in their homes. In addition to community work, volunteers will contribute to the organization’s communication efforts by helping with social media, supporting events, and contributing to the development of new projects and activities. Creativity is welcome, and volunteers are encouraged to share their own ideas with the team. Participants will also have the opportunity to design and implement a personal project, allowing them to explore their interests and develop new skills while making a difference.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We are going to provide support for food, transportation and accomodation. The volunteer will have a room in a shared apartment.

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).
