⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for participants aged 18-30, with interest in the topic and willing to volunteer for 7 months in the Greek countryside, in a relatively marginalized area. No particular skills are required, other an adequate level of English which will be useful. What is more important is the motivation of the volunteers to participate, to learn and to contribute with their ideas. Skills relevant with the activities will of course be welcomed, but not a prerequisite. We are looking for candidates who are aware that they will work in a village community, approximately two hours away from a city

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).
