About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The project aims to promote solidarity between generations by involving young volunteers in actions to support elderly people in situations of social isolation. Through activities focused on companionship, well-being and community participation, volunteers contribute to active ageing, the strengthening of social ties and inclusion. The project also provides young people with a non-formal learning experience, developing personal, social and civic skills recognised by Youthpass. It focuses on three main areas: social challenges, health and wellbeing, and education and training.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The host organisation will provide shared accommodation in fully equipped flats that meet Erasmus+ comfort and safety standards. Adequate food will be provided, either through a monthly allowance or meals on site. Local transport costs related to project activities will be covered, ensuring mobility and accessibility throughout the volunteering period.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will participate in initial and ongoing training sessions covering topics such as language support, non-formal education, communication, active ageing, and health. They will also receive training on safety, first aid, and volunteering ethics. Regular reflection and learning sessions will be promoted, with personalised monitoring and validation of skills through Youthpass.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: • Aged between 18 and 30; • Motivation to work with elderly people and participate in social causes; • Empathy, responsibility and good communication skills; • Team spirit and openness to multicultural contexts; • Interest in learning and developing personal and social skills; • Preferably young people with fewer opportunities (economic, geographical or social); • Commitment to the values of solidarity, inclusion and European citizenship; • No previous experience necessary - just availability, motivation and a willingness to contribute to the community.
Deadline: 01/01/2026 00:59

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).
