Read Zemlya infopack & apply here: http://tiny.cc/0ua0101 ZEMLYA is a 2-year Volunteering Teams in High Priority Areas project focused on developing methods for the sustainable inclusion of Ukrainian refugees into host societies. Through this project, we recognize that European nations share responsibility for promoting stability, peace, and justice in the face of adversity. This year, our Volunteering Teams will take place in Bulgaria, where young people will explore inclusion & diversity, create youth initiatives for a local community, live, learn & travel together. Here, you can develop skills, meet international youth, create local initiatives, and see the direct impact of your actions on the community!

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).
