ℹ️ Additional information

You will be participating in two seminars by the national agency (one week about 6 weeks after arrival, another halfway through the program). Additionally, your hosting organisation will provide you with any training needed for your daily tasks during the service.

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).
