Volunteers will support communication and dissemination activities, podcast production, educational initiatives, community projects and European programmes. They will contribute to activities promoting youth participation, social inclusion, sustainability, intercultural dialogue, anti-mafia education and active citizenship. Through local initiatives, Erasmus+ projects, Youth Exchanges and Training Courses, volunteers will gain practical experience in non-formal education, international youth cooperation and community-based work while living in a vibrant Euro-Mediterranean environment.
