📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Muhu Youth Center primarily engages with students aged 7–16, focusing on developing social skills and emotional competencies. Volunteers play a key role in daily activities, encouraging participation, organizing creative projects, and fostering inclusivity among young people from diverse backgrounds. Activities include games, workshops, and non-formal education sessions. The center features a music studio for creating and hosting music-related projects. Volunteers also assist with planning community events and initiating their own ideas to enrich the center’s offerings. Located on picturesque Muhu Island, known for its cultural heritage and serene environment, volunteers experience a blend of vibrant summer activities and peaceful winters, offering a unique opportunity for reflection, creativity, and meaningful engagement with the local youth.

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).
