"Future Makers for Inclusion and Sustainability"
SDRUZHENIE BALGARSKI MLADEZHKI FORUM
VARBOVO, Bulgaria
Description
This ESC project for individual volunteering will involve 4 local volunteers for a period of one month each, who will support and contribute to our activities, dedicated to efforts focused on two main areas of action: Activity 1: Promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices among young people. Supporting social inclusion and diversity through youth initiatives. Developing skills for active citizenship in alignment with the EU Youth Goals. Activity 2: Enhancing digital literacy and engagement among young people for active participation in democratic processes. Encouraging the use of virtual platforms for inclusive youth participation in decision-making processes. Empowering young people through digital tools to achieve positive change and address the EU Youth Goals. Both activities are open to volunteers with fewer opportunities.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will be accomodated either in the village of Varbovo, Chuprene Municipality or in Sofia. Each volunteer will receive 210 euros per month as pocket money and 120 euros for food.
