About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Youth for Solidarity, Active Citizenship & Green Skills is a 6‑month ESC project hosted by Youth Dynamics, bringing together young volunteers to promote solidarity, inclusion, environmental awareness, and youth participation. Volunteers will support non‑formal education activities, eco‑workshops, community clean‑ups, digital campaigns, and initiatives that encourage active citizenship and intercultural dialogue. The project aims to empower young people to develop life skills, green competences, and a sense of social responsibility while engaging with diverse local communities. Through hands‑on action and creative outreach, volunteers will help combat stereotypes, promote equality, and inspire sustainable lifestyles. The experience offers a supportive environment where young people can learn, grow, and contribute to a greener, more inclusive society.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be hosted in comfortable shared accommodation provided by Youth Dynamics. The house is fully equipped with essential amenities, including Wi‑Fi, kitchen facilities, laundry access and shared living spaces. Volunteers receive pocket money 7 euro per day, a monthly food allowance to cover groceries and meals, and they can use the shared kitchen to cook individually or together. Local transportation costs are fully covered: each volunteer receives a monthly bus card for daily commuting and project as well phone card. Hosting group will cover the electricity, WIFI and water bills.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will receive a combination of formal and non‑formal training to support their learning and impact. This includes On‑Arrival provided by the National Agency, as well as workshops on green skills, sustainability, digital tools and active citizenship. Volunteers will also gain hands‑on experience through mentoring, teamwork, community activities and continuous reflection to develop personal, social and professional competences. Volunteers also receive Youthpass guidance, Europass support, basic Greek language lessons and continuous mentoring to strengthen their learning journey.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for motivated young people who want to contribute to solidarity, inclusion and environmental action. Ideal volunteers are open‑minded, adaptable and eager to learn through hands‑on activities and teamwork. An interest in sustainability, youth participation, intercultural dialogue or community engagement is welcome. Creativity in outreach, digital tools or social media is a plus. Basic English is helpful, but motivation matters more than experience. No prior skills are required—just a positive attitude, curiosity and a willingness to grow in a supportive environment.

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).
