About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The general objectives of this project are to generate a dynamic, creative and participatory environment through playful activities that stimulate the hospitalised child. On the one hand, support shall be provided so that the child normalises and experiences the hospitalisation process in a non-traumatic way and that its relationships with other children are forstered.

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).
