About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Join an international team of volunteers and spend your summer making a real impact in the lives of older people. Through creative and meaningful activities, you will help promote active ageing, reduce social isolation and build strong intergenerational connections. Volunteers will organise recreational and intercultural activities with seniors, support awareness actions on loneliness, and take part in the creation of a community garden, a shared space for learning, care and connection. This is a unique opportunity to experience teamwork, intercultural exchange and solidarity, while contributing to a more inclusive and caring community. Be part of a team. Be part of change.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in a student residence, sharing rooms equipped with bunk beds. Pocket money and food allowance will be provided throughout the activity.

🎒 Leisure activities

An arrival training will be provided from the hosting organization

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).
