European Solidarity Corps

Expand your horizons and do a traineeship in Europe after you graduate! Through the European Solidarity Corps you can do a full-time internship (from 2 months up to 6 months) at an organisation abroad. Your tasks can vary: it can be a cultural, social, ecological or media project for example, but always with a strong focus on solidarity. This is a funded opportunity for young people aged 18 to 30 and can’t be a part of your education.
