About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

L'Essentiel asbl is a non-profit organisation whose aim is to accompany people with disabilities in all aspects of their daily life and self-development. L’Essentiel creates spaces for people with disabilities to socialize by creating different activities in the fields of sport, culture, arts, communication. The three ESC volunteers will take part in the daily life of the center by supporting residents in their daily activities. They will take part in those activities which will be more interesting for them. Volunteers are also expected to come with their own ideas for projects to be implemented together with the residents.

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).
