📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Kecioren Etlik Youth and Sports Club works particularly in the area of tennis. There are more then 100 performance and social tennis player kids which are most of them disadvantageous. There are also some disabled players.

💼 What the programme involves

The project brings together young people from European countries and local youth, creating an intercultural environment based on friendship, teamwork, and mutual respect. Through sports activities, we promote peaceful coexistence, reduce prejudice, and support personal development, self-discipline, and socialization while helping children reduce digital dependency. Volunteers will facilitate creative workshops, speaking clubs, theatre and art sessions, sports activities, and cultural events. They will support refugee children’s education, organize community events, and join visits to the Elderly Care Home to foster intergenerational dialogue. Participants will also gain experience in Erasmus+ project design, teamwork, and youth engagement in a structured and supportive setting.

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).
