ℹ️ Additional information

During the volunteering period, participants receive training from both AMICOS and the European Solidarity Corps (ESC). Before arrival, ESC provides a pre-departure training session to prepare volunteers for cultural adaptation, project expectations, and personal development. Upon arrival, they attend an On-Arrival Training covering practical information, rights, responsibilities, and intercultural learning. A Mid-Term Evaluation helps assess progress and address challenges. AMICOS offers additional training on job searching, career selection, workplace quality, environmental programs.

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).
