About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The slogan of the Europe Week 2024 is “JKPG Voices for EU Choices” and this will be the first volunteering teams project held in Jönköpings kommun. The local volunteers and current ESC volunteers will be joined by 15 European youth who will assist in the implementation of the activities across Jönköping, with an aim to encourage locals to cast their vote in the European Parliament elections. By participating in this ESC Volunteering teams project, the volunteers will: - improve their event management skills by taking different roles in the areas of marketing, social media, outreach activities, resource management, event logistics, communications etc. throughout the Europe Week 2024; - develop a deeper sense of citizenship by actively engaging in the education and promotion of the EU elections, its importance and topics surrounding it; - become more skilful in intercultural communication, especially in a European context, by collaborating with a diverse team;

🏠 Accommodation on site

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).
