💼 What the programme involves

This European Solidarity Corps project involves one volunteer for a long term volunteering
possibly from September/October of 2022 for 12 months in a small town Skuodas, Lithuania. The ideas of the European Solidarity Corps project were inspired by multifaceted
benefits, positive changes that were brought by experience gained by various organizations
in the international volunteering field. Volunteering facilitates the use of non-formal
education ideas in practical activities and encourages its self-education. The project invites
everyone to take an enthusiastic step towards professional and human experience for
making a better future and to discover their potential of creating a better worldview for a
young person. "Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are" Young people
are very influenced by the people who surround them, how they impact them. New people in
an organization always brings innovative ideas, knowledge, experience for youth in a small
town as Skuodas helps to discover the variety of different beliefs and attitudes and interest
in active life. The main objective of this project is to welcome one motivated volunteer who would help to
contribute to the development of the information and knowledge society, develop cultural
literacy and creativity of readers, provide access to information recorded in documents and
databases, and provides non-formal education for all customers. A secure and creative
environment will be created to reach this goal and volunteers will be able to implement

themselves by helping the host organization to achieve its objectives.
