💼 What the programme involves

Our organisation main activity is the temporary accommodation of refugees.

Furthermore, we provide social services, offering them help for the sectors of housing, communication/translation, healthcare, applications of any kind, processing of inquiries of governmental agencies and many more.

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).
