About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Yamochori is a Project that started two years ago in a village of Etoloakarnania, in Makria Logka. It is a village of few permanent residents with a great need for activism strengthening the youth of the area, environmental awareness and mobilization. This is the reason why we consider to integrate into our small community additional volunteers through the ESC program. Our organization already have volunteers through other internationals networks, but we believe that the ESC program will enhance its longevity. Our field operates as the village square as it is open to everyone without a fence, is a meeting point and interaction, a school for the development of farming methods for farmers, building techniques for the builders, improving learning and teaching methods for teachers, raising awareness about climate crisis, recycling, zero waste, processing, composting etc. Read more here https://www.yamochori.com/yamochoriprojects-1/esc-in-yamochori-2024

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).
