ℹ️ Additional information

During their volunteer experience, participants will undergo training, supervision, and mentorship provided by GFC staff and external partners (including outside Cyprus). This comprehensive support facilitates a seamless induction, enhances preparedness, and fosters continuous development throughout their engagement. Some of the training includes project management, project designing, intercultural competency, graphic designing, social media management, and professional communication.

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).
