10th Edition of Generation XXI: ESC connecting Europe
Município de Portimão
Portimão, Portugal
Descrição
Generation XXI responds to the need to empower young people to embrace change, explore new opportunities, and better understand local challenges while connecting them with the European and global context. We believe that active participation, volunteering, non-formal learning, training, and mobility foster personal and professional development, strengthen key competences, improve employability, and promote active citizenship. The project also contributes to the sustainable development of the local community. Activities are linked to our main areas of intervention: the Youth Information Centre, the Pedagogical Farm, the Museum, the Tourism Unit, Lugar do Rio – Portimão Youth Space, and the Veterinary Medical Services Division. The project will host three ESC volunteers: one at the Museum, one alternating between Tourism and Lugar do Rio, and one between the Pedagogical Farm and Veterinary Services.
