📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The aim of the European Solidarity Corps project is to support a small entity called Liise Talu in organising a marathon called Liise Run, which is a yearly recurring and recognized sporting event in the Estonian marathon calendar. As the event has grown larger over the years, Liise Talu could use the help and input of a group of international volunteers. The group would help to manage the competition in different aspects, starting from taking photos of the event, keeping an eye on the track, but also with cleaning up the nature paths afterwards. In addition to practical tasks for the event there will also be planned learning activities, workshops and intercultural learning during the project.

🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will be accommodated in Liise Talu facilities, in a private house where the entire group will stay together. The volunteers will stay in shared rooms, but still have plenty of space. There is a kitchen, shower rooms and a sauna as well. Volunteers will help prepare lunch and dinner in shifts for their own group. On the island of Ruhnu everything is within a walking distance, but there is also a car available if need be. There is a small shop in the village and the ferry goes to the mainland every two days.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: The project brings together young people from the EU, aged 18 to 30 years old, to form an international group of 10.
