About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Our project takes place in three different regional centres - in three parts of Slovakia in Púchov, Dolný Kubín and in Veľký Slavkov (near Hight Tatras). The project focuses on working with youth, building respect in the community, bringing new skills and abilities into the lives of young people. During the project you will take part in several camps, clubs, youth group and other activities, weekend events and camps, workshops, international days and our festival. Volunteers help to organise and implement events, bring new perspectives and ideas, and put their ideas into practice. The volunteer is also motivated to implement their own ideas for activities and to collaborate with other volunteers. If you don't like boredom and like to meet new people, this project is for you.

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).
