PLEASE DO NOT SEND AN AUTOMATIC MESSAGE "THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED" BUT SEND YOUR CV AND MOTIVATION LETTER TO [email protected]. - EKOenergy is a global nonprofit ecolabel for sustainable renewable energy.

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).
