💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will support activities related to active citizenship, social inclusion, community engagement, cultural exchange, and youth participation. Through workshops, awareness-raising campaigns, digital storytelling, creative activities, and community-based initiatives, participants will gain practical experience in teamwork, communication, leadership, and project development. The project promotes European values, intercultural dialogue, equality, and solidarity while encouraging young people to become active citizens in their local communities. Volunteers will work in an international environment, collaborate with local stakeholders, and contribute to activities that foster social responsibility, inclusion, and mutual understanding.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for motivated young people aged 18–30 who are interested in active citizenship, intercultural learning, social inclusion, and community engagement. Participants should be open-minded, responsible, and willing to take part in an international volunteering experience based on non-formal education and solidarity. Volunteers should be willing to participate in workshops, awareness-raising activities, creative projects, community initiatives, and dissemination activities. A positive attitude, flexibility, and respect for diversity are essential. The project is particularly suitable for young people who wish to gain international experience, strengthen their social and professional skills, and make a meaningful contribution to local communities while promoting European values and solidarity.

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).
