⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for motivated young people who are interested in social issues and eager to contribute to an inclusive community. Participants should be open-minded, responsible, and willing to learn, cooperate, and engage with people from different backgrounds. A strong interest in working with people with disabilities is essential. Previous experience in this field is welcome but not required; genuine motivation, empathy, patience, and a willingness to support others are the most important qualities. The project is open and accessible to young people with fewer opportunities. We particularly encourage applications from participants who may face social, economic, geographical, educational, cultural, health-related, or other barriers. Appropriate support will be provided according to individual needs.
Deadline: 31/07/2026 18:00

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).
