💼 What the programme involves

**IMPORTANT: Please register your interest from our form at: https://foemalta.org/get-involved/vacancies/ One of FoEM’s main campaigns focuses on Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity and Nature. This is one of FoEM’s biggest campaigns since it focuses on policy work in relation to agriculture and biodiversity, educational activities related to food production and consumption, citizen science to research the bee population, citizen actions such as community gardening & foraging walks, and workshops with youth and in schools on various aspects related to nature gardens, food waste, composting etc. FoEM campaigns for the right for people to have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. FoEM also takes a nature and biodiversity approach to food production and believes people are at the heart of a holistic rural environment.

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).
