Cur síos
Join EIOPE in Chavdar, a mountain village in Bulgaria, and help shape inclusive outdoor policy for Europe — from the very start. This is a founding moment:you'll help build the infrastructure of a young European foundation working to open outdoor spaces to everyone.Your main focus: developing EIOPE's brand identity and logo, building out outdoorportal.eu as a European hub for inclusive outdoor resources, and strengthening our network of NGOs, researchers, and municipalities across borders. Alongside this, you'll co-design and try out inclusive outdoor activities with local children, youth, and people with fewer opportunities — putting the values you're building for into practice. Two teams of 5 volunteers each. No expertise needed — curiosity, initiative, and teamwork are what count. Bonus skills: graphic design, web development, communication, experience with diverse groups, environmental education. You'll leave with portfolio pieces, hands-on experience, and a Youthpass certificate.
