About the project

ESC: MOMENTUM

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Young people learn best through experience, participation, and real human connections. Momentum was created to offer volunteers a safe and inspiring environment where learning happens through action. Many small communities face challenges such as limited youth opportunities, social isolation among elderly people, and reduced access to non-formal education. Through volunteering, participants become active contributors to positive change while discovering their own potential. Momentum is not only about helping others — it is about building confidence, skills, and direction for the future. By joining the project, volunteers will: step outside their comfort zone gain international experience develop independence and responsibility discover new cultures and perspectives create meaningful social impact

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers live in shared apartments fully equipped with kitchen, bathroom, internet and utilities included. Accommodation support: 150 EUR per month Pocket money: 120 EUR per month Travel costs reimbursed according to ESC distance calculator.

🎒 Leisure activities

During the volunteering period, the volunteer participated in several training and learning activities aimed at supporting personal and professional development. At the beginning of the activity, the volunteer received an on-arrival orientation, where they were introduced to the host organisation, the local community, the objectives of the project and the main tasks. Throughout the project, the volunteer benefited from regular mentoring sessions, which helped them reflect on their learning process, adapt to the intercultural environment and improve their communication and teamwork skills.

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).
