ℹ️ Additional information

Participants can expect daily supervision in all activities; for more complex tasks, participants will have theoretical and demonstrational training and management. During the project activities participants will have mentor support through group and individual meetings. Participants are welcome to share their skill sets.

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).
