📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Old Rabka's Charm Festival is the local cultural event organized in the little town of Rabka-Zdrój in the polish mountains.

The Festival aims at: - raising awareness of local cultural heritage and history of the town, - building sense of community and belonging of the local youth to their heritage, - promoting Rabka-Zdrój as leisure and cultural opportunities.

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).
