📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

SOPRO is launching a 4-month volunteering project for young people from EU countries who want to make a difference in the local community. This initiative aims to strengthen social cohesion and promote the well-being of vulnerable groups through social support and inclusion. Project Objectives: - Support the Local Community: Volunteers will work with local initiatives that assist vulnerable populations, including the elderly. - Foster Intercultural Dialogue: Promote interaction between cultures, encouraging the exchange of experiences. - Develop Skills: Provide opportunities for volunteers to enhance essential skills like intercultural communication, empathy, and teamwork. Support & Benefits: SOPRO provides continuous support, a monthly allowance for food and personal expenses, and welcoming accommodation. Volunteers will gain practical experience and develop valuable skills while enjoying cultural interaction. Join us in building a more inclusive community!

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers share a house with other volunteers, located near the city of Barcelos. The house includes bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a shared living room, having access to water, gas, an internet connection, a washing machine, bed linens, and towels. - Each volunteer receives a monthly allowance of €300 (food allowance and pocket money), allowing them to manage their meals and personal expenses. - Daily, volunteers walk to the activity venue, or SOPRO provides transportation for more distant locations. Each volunteer will also receive a pass for local public transport.

🎒 Leisure activities

Training during the project is crucial for volunteers, providing them with the tools to tackle challenges and enhance their impact on communities. - Pre-departure training: is organized by the sending organization to align expectations, review the project Agreement, and provide technical details. - Volunteers also receive language learning support: via the EU Academy platform. - Arrival and middle-term training: provided by the National Agency for Erasmus+, Sports, and the ESC, ensuring that volunteers continue to develop their skills and adapt to the project's demands.

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).
