About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We would like your help in conducting activities in our Golden Age Centre, with our seniors. You'd be there to assist them during activities and organize your activities. For example, you love to cook? Do you have your favourite dish that you love to cook for others? Great! You can organize a culinary workshop and prepare your favourite local dishes! Or you play an instrument or you like to sing? Join our seniors in a music workshop and maybe teach them a song in your language :) We will also need your help in organizing public events around various important dates (International Day of Older Persons, celebration of International volunteer Day, etc.) and also in organizing educational activities for youth. With youth you can organize various workshops and educational activities for example on active participation in the society, solidarity or maybe you can share your experience in volunteering!

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Orientation will be provided for volunteers upon arrival. We will introduce you to the organisation, our work and employees. We will clearly communicate what is required of you for each task. For each volunteers' task, you will receive special instructions, education if necessary and additional support from a mentor. In addition, the mentor will help the volunteer in his easier integration into the work environment, but also into society in general by proposing activities to spend the volunteer's free time. All volunteers will have the opportunity to learn languages online.
Deadline: 15/09/2026 23:59

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).
