YOU IN EUROPE

Beschrijving
"Le(t)svos" is a short-term (2-weeks) volunteering project in Chidira, a quiet village on the island of Lesvos, Greece. Participants will live collectively and engage in creative activities that benefit the local community, including painting murals in public spaces, leading playful workshops for local children, and enhancing a nearby walking path. The project brings together young people from across Europe to explore solidarity, rural life, intercultural learning, and shared community impact.
