Training during the activity

Before the arrival, we will also organise an online meeting with each volunteer to discuss practical arrangements, project expectations, and answer any questions they may have. In addition to this preparation process, we will organise at least two internal mid-term training sessions related to the volunteer project, several monitoring and evaluation meetings throughout the activity, and a final evaluation at the end of the project.

Participant profile
Priority will be given to young people with fewer opportunities, including those experiencing long-term unemployment. Volunteers will be selected from the pool of candidates registered in the European Solidarity Corps Portal. We are looking for motivated, proactive, and responsible volunteers who enjoy working in an international and multicultural environment. The selection process will be based on equal opportunities and non-discrimination, promoting gender equality and inclusion throughout the project. The project also aims to empower volunteers to become active citizens and encourage them to continue participating in volunteering and community initiatives in their local communities after the project ends.
