Description
This ESC team volunteering project will bring together young people from different European countries for one month, from November to December, to create an inclusive and meaningful experience ahead of the Christmas season. The project will take place in collaboration with local organizations working with elderly people and individuals with disabilities, aiming to promote social inclusion and intergenerational solidarity. Volunteers will organize creative workshops, cultural activities, and festive events to brighten the holidays for those who might otherwise experience isolation.
