About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The purpose of this project is to alert the population to global social, economic and environmental problems, and to contribute to the dissemination and adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals framed in the UN Agenda 2030, encouraging volunteering, active participation and cooperation between all. We hope to spread the desire to help others, make a difference for people and the planet, and show young people that volunteering and solidarity are fundamental values that must be present in their daily lives. Through the activities developed, the community will be able to recognize and act to face the challenges proposed by the SDGs, being encouraged to get involved in these causes, reducing the lack of constructive answers to universal sustainable development issues. It is expected that young people will be more involved in this and other themes, becoming active agents of change and starting new projects at local, national or even international level.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in two apartments close to SYnergia and city center. The place has bed sheets, towels, wi-fi and kitchen. Food and pocket money will be provided by the hosting Organization. The activities will be held in CADI, Inclusive Center of Arts and Sports, headquarters of SYnergia. Other activities will be developed on partners of SYnergia, local transportation will be provided to the volunteers.

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).
