⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We would like to host volunteers who demonstrate a strong interest for the main themes of the project and main areas of activities. Previous organisational experiences in social cultural organizations of in the field of other NGOs, and knowledges in the issues mentioned above will surely help the volunteers in a full integration into the project but these are not essential and necessary to be selected as a volunteer. The specific motivation to take part in this project that the volunteers may express is important as its coherence with personal life experience and future plans.

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).
